Silhouette Challenge: Fall

Teabag boxes, Silhouette Challenge: Fall 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier this summer, I harvested a bumper crop of mint. (Garden goodness this way)  I dried and then ground up the mint - both peppermint and spearmint (the mint is on the tray hiding behind the lavender) and now I have tea for the fall.  I planned on sharing the tea with friends, and used the "Fall"  Silhouette Challenge to kickstart my big presentation plans.

I already had a cute teabag holder with some hexies on it.  I opened up a new project with just the teabag shape and added the maple leaves.  They are all the same leaf, two are 100%, two 75% and two of them are sized at 50%.  The original design had a hexagon tag, and when I deleted it from the new project, I saved the hole for the string, so it was easy to add to some of the maple leaf shapes.  Others I left intact so that I could glue them onto the bags.  I cut several colours, and mixed and matched the leaves.

Here is the finished product - I put the tea into little plastic bags and tucked them into the teabag boxes.  Love this sweet little Saturday morning project!  I can't wait to give them out as little unexpected gifties.  These would also make really fierce place cards at Thanksgiving dinner. 

Oh no.  The wheels are turning again.
