^{Inspired by [sweet.tx.tea], who first sent me one via snail-mail, I made several Tea Bag Buddies of my own!}

How to make Tea Bag Buddies

^{First, find a tea that you like, the stronger-smelling, the better. I started with basic, cheap tea bags, because I wasn't sure if the project would work out or not.}

^{Second, gather the tools you'll need, which include thread (whichever colours you like), needles, buttons, and other items which may be useful in decorating. For some of my Tea Bag Buddies, I used leather bits and cut shapes from them, then stitched them on.}

^{Stitch up your tea bags with whatever features you want your Buddy to have. Get creative! Here's how mine turned out so far:}

2010-10-30 [member181737]: this is awesome!

2010-10-30 [Nioniel]: Why thank you! :)
I've made four or five now, but [sweet.tx.tea]'s got one of them, another isn't finished yet, and of these three, the bat is my favourite!

2010-10-30 [member181737]: The bat is my favorite, also.

Anything special going on for Halloween over there?

2010-10-30 [Nioniel]: Negative. I have to work on Halloween, so not even a costume for me this year.

2010-10-30 [member181737]: Do something at work, then! ;)

2010-10-30 [Nioniel]: Mayhaps. Not sure what I'd do...I think we may be giving candy to the kiddies, but that's about it.

2010-10-30 [member181737]: They really want beer. Or toothbrushes.

2010-10-30 [Nioniel]: I know. We mock them with our candy-giving. ;)

2010-10-30 [member181737]: ;)

I'm thinking of going to the store to buy a bunch of CDRs and burning a shitload containing Bach's Art of Fugue, and other Masterworks. I figure it's worth more than candy.

2010-10-30 [Sunrose]: Good stuff :)

2010-10-30 [Skydancer]: hehehehe. much fun!

2010-10-30 [Calico Tiger]: Dammit, I expected teabagging pics >_>
