In the past couple of weeks I had been looking for ways to use some scraps of fabric I had and a bunch of used and washed teabags.I decided to make some gifts for my penpals that would be completely made of repurposed materials. This was my attempt of a Did-It-Myself (DIM) and finally I came down to these:
For the scented sachets I used some used teabags that I previously washed and let dried. I even used thread that I had leftover from some other sewing projects. I used a stamp as a motif and as filling I used some shredded documents that I was about to throw away. For the scent I rasped some lavender soap (really strong aroma) and filled the sachet along with the paper. This is the result:
💚 More ways to Repurpose teabags and coffee filters ☕️
For the cards I cut some (thin) carton boxes from granola bars we buy, the background paper is filling paper from online deliveries and the hearts were cut from old pyjamas and shirt.
💚 More ways to Repurpose old Sweatpants, Shirts 👕, Tights, Denim 👖, and Sweaters and even Socks 🧦
Maybe are not the most glamorous gifts, but are handmade with lot of green care. What do you think?
Trash is the Failure of Imagination 😉
