Personalised Tea Bags

Hello everyone! How are you? I have been itching to tell you all about my latest project, which I can finally reveal! 


It all started a couple of weeks ago when a dear friend, Holly, the amazing lady behind Make Events, contacted me about getting some ideas together for a personalised item to include in a goody bag she was going to give away at a very glamorous red carpet event. The brief was clear: something quirky and unique, personalised with her details so to be used   as a promotional item as well. So we came up with the idea of customising tea bags with her logo, inside a personalised envelope, also branded with her logo and a catchy phrase - make a brew with make events.


I am so excited to finally show the end result! 





The order was for 50 tea bags so I used a variety of teas: Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam, Ceylon and English Breakfast.







The envelopes are all made by hand: it involved a lot of cutting, folding and gluing! 






I did want to just put them in a box to deliver them to Holly, I wanted the final packaging to be quite attractive and a bit different. It was with delight that browsing through my crafty stash I stumbled across these clear cellophane bags I used to package home made cookies one Christmas. I thought they were perfect to show off my babies!




As an afterthought, wouldn't this make a great thank you gift or wedding favour? A personalised pack of your favourite tea for your guests, because everyone loves a nice cuppa!



I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed making it! All that is left now is to...make a brew with Make Events!
