These turned out beautifully! Thank you for reminding me why I’ve been saving tea bags! 😝
This is awesome! I have lots of open used tea bags saved in a box just waiting for an inspiration and you just gave it to me...thank you!
@@pamelamartin1731 woo hoo, I used a lot of mine up doing this. And I have a few more ideas to try next month or so with more.
I am here for the first time. I love how these turned out. I am adding this to the journal I am working on now. Oh yes I am a sister in Christ!

WOW....can't wait to try this...first I have to find the tea bags in my stash!!!!!
@@carlahenn1461 heehee yes, sometimes locating those supplies is the hardest part!🤣😉
Oh my goodness I LOVE THIS! Thank you❤
@@cathycole1995 awwww, you’re welcome

@@ShoshiPlatypus ooooo more tea bag play, yes please, lol. Welcome, and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! I love this! I hope it works on magazine photos. I have so many glossy images that I don't want to use because they look too modern, but with this technique, they would look spectacular! Can't wait to see what you make with them!
@@Lady_Jay42 pretty sure it works great with magazines
Thanks for resurrecting a process that I forgot all about!!!

Fun! They turned out beautiful.
@@KellyBeresford thank you!
We did that back in the 70's with Elmer's Glue
@@sneakypuppy7705 yeah, I often water down elmers school glue and use it
And covered an oval plaster mold with image, a bent hairpin as a hanger, a cute small wall accent, cheap presents, the same time as woven dough baskets!
Fascinating!
Love this, you are an amazing artist

Thank you that was enjoyable.
@@shirley6996 💜
Good job, I would like to see you use same picture with both methods because to my eye the gesso one, especially the lady looked clearer, if you did 2 of same image I think it would be more definitive
@@karengoodenough827 for sure try it and let me know! I dont know that i have 2 identical images…but i will look and see
I just came across your channel and I’m impressed with your scripture presentation. I love this transfer idea,thanks for the demo on it. I am going to subscribe, thanks for sharing!

Hi! I'm a subie to your channel. Love this idea of transferring the image to tea bags. I remember Karen Duvall from Aleene's Craft Show she did this on her show. It's an old old show. I'm dating myself. Are your prints printed with a laser printer or ink jet printer. I vaguely remember her saying it worked only pictures printed with ink toner only. Tyfs I enjoyed watching your process. Blessings 💗
I like this, going to give it a try.
@@kayhelton3806 woohoo! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the tutorial. ❤

I love the flowers.. I was wondering if that transfer would work on clothing, looking forward to seeing what you will do with them
@@deefrost5695 hmmmmm not sure! I will have to experiment and see!
Those prints turned out great!! I love the vintage look that the tea bags give the photos. Nice!!!
@@ArtsySolutions and they almost feel like fabric! Crazy
Very cute make!! Love them! Thank you!
@@donnacarraway9182 thanks!
I have never thought to open a used tea bag and to me these look like the tea bag must have huge! I’m going to have to open one now just to see 😂
@@nataliemarshall7158 it seems as though different tea brands have different size bags. So odd
@@4GraceCreations I envy you in the USA. You have those teabags with a string, and you can open them right out and get a decent piece of teabag material. Here in the UK we mostly have the "pillow" type which are sealed on all 4 sides. You can open them up but you always have a seam across the middle. Any time I get any of the string type, I hoard them like there's no tomorrow!!
@@ShoshiPlatypus can you get them off amazon?
@@ShoshiPlatypus email me your address and youtube name and real name! I will send some to you in a regular envelope that just takes stamps!!!!!!!
great tutorial. Love the hen song in the backgroud
@@heartofhomemade heehee 🐓
I have that exact box of cards. Praise, God, for these cards are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
@@colleenstevens5121 been keeping an eye out for more, in little gift shops. They are great!
Can I do this with coffee filters if I stain them first???
@@lorenlal ooooooo girl! Great idea! Try it and let me know!
New viewer. Great tutorial, thankyou! Love Scripture share too!🥰❤️
@@Deborah750 welcome new friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
@@taylormadejournals9662 ❤️
This was fantastic. I ant even tell you how many tea bags I have. Hubby rolls his eyes at my collections😂you have a new subscriber andiwill have to follow along to see what you are using these for. I drink coffee in the morning but both my mom and I drink sun tea and my son drinks hot black and my my hot green also so we use a lot of tea bags. So point of all this is the variety of different teabags. I dry them on a piece of fabric a make tea stained fabric. But did you know that they now make a large bag that instead of 3 family size teabags fora gallon they have gallon teabags now. Just a heads up if u didn’t know. I think luzianne is the only one I’ve seen so far
@@cjsimplyscraps welcome!!!!!! Glad to have ya here!
Oooooo drying them on fabric! Great idea and i will try that soon! Thanks sooooo much for the idea🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
The Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating can help with lessen the haze after it dries, too.
Thanks! I have never heard of this stuff so i will have to check it out!
@@4GraceCreations I saw it on @NitsaCreativeStudio channel!
@@atomiclisa thanks!

Simple process to add an additional loveliness to a junk journal. Have you tried this on the clear Christmas ornaments, with or without paint on the bulb. If it would work what a yummy look that would add to the holiday decor.
@@lynntorson1984 ooooooo that is a fun idea! Never tried that! So….maybe YOU try and report back?
New subbie. This is a fun process.

Love this Thank you. Will this work with ink jet printer images ?
Yes. I dont have a laser printer only an ink jet. Also works with magazine pages
I’ve done image transfers before but never on a teabag. I always thought a teabag would be too delicate for the technique. DO YOU HAVE CHICKENS IN THE BACKGROUND? I keep pausing the video and listening for chickens, I even went outside to look around, no chickens here. I love the sounds on a farm, very cosy and nostalgic.
@@sandral.2828 bah ha ha😂😂😂i do! Chickens and a rooster. They are SOOOO loud!!!!! Some days it is frustrating to have them in the background noise. Some days it is funny.
Are these photos from magazines? or laser printer? or ink jet printer? All important facts for image transfers! Thanks!
@@trebbneify i actually dont know. They were from happy mail. However, i did go back and try inkjet printer image and it worked. Also tried shiney book page and magazine page and they worked too
COOL!!!
@@jeanadamsick9854 thanks🩵
Are these images from a regular printer? Great tutorial/ channel! Much love and many blessings.
@@denasewell yes, reg printer.
#Replay first time watching you. I love this technique and I also subscribed to your channel.
@@debbyturner3035 hello and welcome!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this technique, and what beautiful images you have! First time on your channel, and, I have subscribed! I love that you read a scripture before you begin! Blessings, dear one!❤🙏☝️✝️
@@cfeaston1602 welcome new friend!!!!!!! Thanks for liking and commenting and subscribing! U have no idea how that helps🩵
I love this. But please clarify for a newbie--how do I get the used teabag? Remove wet leaves, rinse, dry, and rip apart? Do you mod podge the image on the gesso side or the non gesso side?
Hi, I make my own tea dyed papers and when I am done soaking my tea bags I squeeze them out and put them on a paper towel to dry. I cut the top part off the tea bag and split them open to remove the leaves. I have also cut the tops off of the bags when they are still wet and carefully opened them up, remove the leaves and dried them that way. Hope this helps😊
@@melissahall9742 yes. Thank you!
Thanks!
I make a cup of hot tea, then squeeze water out of the bag and set it aside to dry. When dry I carefully open and remove dried tea and throw it in my wildflowers.
U can skip the gesso if you dont have any.
Hi there! I’m so happy to have found your channel! You’re so much fun! So… I apologize for sounding clueless, but what kind of tea bags are you using! The plain ‘ole paper tea bags?
@@aprildomer422 hi and welcome!!!!!! Yes, just what you make tea with. Then i let them sit and dry, then carefully open the bag up and i put the dry tea in my wildflower garden area😂
Are these teabags made from a thin cloth of some kind? I love this idea!! ❤
@@cynthiamelinn2743 they are used tea bags. I made tea. Then set the tea bags on the counter to dry totally. Then opened them up, dumped the tea into the flower bed and now using the bag. I think u can get unused ones on amazon
I've seen teabags made from some type of sheer fabric. I just thought that you may have used them. Thank you for showing us this technique.
@@cynthiamelinn2743 oh, no, i have never seen them! Where would i find them, do ya know?
🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@lb_smile 😘
What can you use instead of tea bags...
@@francesworcester3599 great question! Do you have coffee filters? They work too. Maybe tissue paper as well
@@4GraceCreations thank you gives me ideas thanks
@@francesworcester3599 you’re welcome🩵
Were those real chickens I heard?
@@dawnboquist5473 heehee yes
What do you mean when you say "photo"? Is it an image printed onto photo paper or cardstock? If so, what kind of printer, inkjet or laser/toner?
@@daisytwotoes so these are images on regular paper. It does not feel like extremely thick card stock though. They are just pieces. I actually got in happy mail. But this does work with things that you print on your inkjet printer. I’m not sure if it would work with things from a laser printer or not because I don’t have a laser printer.
@@4GraceCreations Thanks for the info! Can't wait to try this.
M my mother in law did a lot of there years ago. I tried and didn't turn out well. Do I put on more than one coat. Don't remember if I coated front side and back side. Can you use magazine type paper and do you just cut up used tea bag? She did not use tea bags.
@@donnaholland1061 i dont know about magazine paper….maybe try it and let me know? I do cut the tea bag if it is too big.
I learned this technique about 30 years ago when I was having a folk art painting phase. It was my first introduction to decoupage.
Back then the purpose was for thinning out a picture that was on thicker paper and postcards, so there was much less of a line/step down between the edge of the picture and the piece it was being glued onto.
In the process back then we did several coats of a modpodge like product (I can’t remember what it was, I think we used watered down PVA) but each coat was painted on in a different direction. Ie coat 1 was painted north to south, coat 2 was east to west and that was repeated many times on the front only.
If you coat the back of the picture the water won’t be able to penetrate the paper to then be able to rub off the paper.
Also back then the reason for several coats of modpodge was because the picture was not put onto anything else first. So basically you end up with the very top layer of the picture adhered to dry glue. So it needed to be quite a thick layer to give it structure. If you are going to put your picture on something first you shouldn’t need to do too many layers of modpodge.
I hope I have made sense and that it was helpful
What are the chickens in the background talking about? (are they making a YT video about how to decorate eggs..?🤔😅)
@@schokovondu549 🐔 i think they are singing us a song🤣
Are the photos laser prints? Or can you use any kind of photo?
@@cowgirljane3316 these are photos printed on regular copy paper with an inkjet printer, and then one is cut out of a book. I think it works on anything tho
What do you do with these once you’re done?
@@jackieprice6666 i will use them in making this journal so you can see. But sometimes i back them with paper so they can be used as a journaling spot.
@@4GraceCreations can you use these finished images to decoupage coasters?
@@XjtBA thats a great idea!!!!!!! I dont know because i have never done it, but maybe you want to try and report back to me? How fun!!!!
Like the technique, could skip the little sermon.
@@KayRyder-fd6cw oh, it was just reading a Bible verse. My “sermon” would be more of what I do in my playlist called, Pondering Purpose. Thats where we do a little Bible study type of a thing.
