TEABAG CARD

I love folding paper - origami, iris folding, teabag folding - all of it!  This example is of the latter.  Its probably the easiest teabag fold of all, but its still one of my favourites as it can be used in so many different ways.

Start with  a square of double sided paper - thinner papers are easier to fold, but if you fold carefully and use a scorer if necessary, then scrapbooking papers are OK too.  Turn the square so that a point is at the bottom and then fold two sided in to meet at the middle to make a kite shape (you might like to crease the square diagonally first as a guide).

Make eight of these and arrange them in a circle.  Its easier if you stick down four in a cross shape first and then fill in the gaps with the other four - you're less likely to end up with unwantd spaces.

I've added a split pin as a feature - purely decorative, as it doesn't actually do anything (although its a good way to hide less than perfect centres.)  I've mounted the folded papers onto some dark blue card and then put the whole thing into one of Regal's white textured three panel circle cut-out cards.
