How to Crochet Tea Bag Holder Pouch

I've become a tea drinker, yep. In Chile, I used to sit down with my Grandma to talk and so many times I ended up drinking her tea. I always thought hers tasted so much better than mine. Then I went through a coffee phase which lasted several years. Now I am a tea drinker again. Herb tea are some of my favorites because of their healthy value.

I have made this crochet tea bag holder / pouch to keep my tea in place in my purse. Ya know, I carry toys and papers that is soooo easy to misplace my tea. BUT now that is not happening anymore. Bravo, me. Now my tea is in one place ready to pull it out.

The holder is big enough that allows for several tea bags in it.

Tea anyone?

ps: Thanks, Mom, for the super cute owl mug you got me last year. My daughter and I take turns using it because she likes it so much, too.

Here's my tutorial for the crochet tea bag holder / pouch.

How to Embroider on Crochet

Adding an embroidery sentiment to your crochet will make your project stand out and add even more personalization. You could use this technique to create personalized gifts. You could make different tea bags in different colors and embroider the name or initial or anything that you would like!

If you do decide to embroider your tea bag holder, be sure to do it before sewing it together.

How to Close your Tea Bag Holder / Pouch

Use the invisible hem stitch to sew your long rectangle into a pouch.

Sew a button on and you are all set!

Another option is to cut out any shape of wool felt and glue it to the pouch like the one that has the star.

In this picture you can see the two different options used for personalizing your tea bag holder. The light blue has the word "tea" embroidered and the read one has a felt star glued.

Do you drink tea? What kind do you like?

Happy Crocheting!

Bilingual Seasons of the Year Printable

I have two children and both of them are growing up bilingually. I speak to them in Spanish all day, while my husband speaks to them in English and Spanish. We have been checking the weather on a daily basis to know when's the best time to go outside to play with water or to take a family walk. We also check the weather to see the temperature in other states where other family members currently live. Here's a copy of the seasons of the year printable that I made. It's available in a pdf file for you to use at home with your children or in your classroom.
