[@sandofthesun]

I just screamed at my daughter,” Don’t throw those away, I’m saving them” and she thought I was crazy. She said what are you going to do with those? So I showed her your video. We now have a strainer by the sink to dry tea bags. Lol. Thank you and many blessings!

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh I love it hahaha

[@robinsnest7627]

I’ve done that myself. I know I should feel bad, but when they are old enough to have reason when you explain, you shouldn’t be having a debate.

[@littleoldemeartistry-marieehi]

Natasha, I love how you always have the instructions written out for us to follow. Another brilliant use for old tea bags. TFS.

[@rachelcoloradomy3kidz778]

Yes 🥰 Tfs

[@cibinskymojo5750]

I love these ideas. Especially the ideas that let me use what would normally be tossed in the trash. Thank you.

[@bonibuchanan]

Wonderfully original and well done. Now I'm dumpster diving for old tea bags!

[@lyllydd]

I love the idea of using magazine images more than printables. Printables are cool but its sometimes difficult to find just the right one, depending on the theme of the journal. I'm also a stickler - junk journals should be made from, you know, JUNK. Stuff that would normally go in the recycle bin or the trash. Cereal boxes, magazine pages, and scraps of paper. Maybe even soda cans. This tea bag idea is cool.

[@paulamorra3852]

I am new to junk journaling and your videos have been so informative and so inspiring! You have answered the questions I had before I even knew I had them! Thank you so much for your channel and all of your creations and sharing them with us. You are a true genius!

[@RingoWild]

Aargh when I think about all of the teabags I've thrown out over the years. Thanks for sharing!

[@TreasureBooks]

I know, right? Thanks for watching Lori!

[@KaterinaGasset]

I throw them all away! Oh well, we can start from now to save them!

[@tieskeellis8531]

Great!!!!! I have hundreds of these teabags. I make whole pages with it. So it looks like a quilted page. But this is also a great idea. 👍

[@nancyorourke7679]

Love this..have not seen this elsewhere. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to trying this.

[@rosalindmartz6585]

I enjoy your videos. You write out explicit instructions as well as demonstrate. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@suzyallen1726]

I love how you show how you can fix mistakes because when we begin we will make these mistakes and may give up

[@dianawelch7923]

Yes I did and I am “hooked”. Rule #1 in the world of art, “everything deserves a second chance”.

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes!! My new mantra hehe

[@prof_karla_menezes]

@Diana Welch Everething!!! Always!!

[@rachelannharris4944]

I save trash all the time. Art shouldn’t cost a fortune. Plus recycling is necessary these days. So it’s a hobby that heals in more than one way : )

[@suzieq23ify]

Another great idea. The tea bags really make the pages very vintage-like. Thank you for sharing.

[@selinastephens7602]

Absolutely fabulous. The tea bag rips quite easily too, love it. Ok, I'm off to play. TFS 💕

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun Selina! Thank you for watching and commenting :)

[@joiedefi]

You're so original, I love it!! I've just done a Journal spread with some beautiful black and white vintage photos. I could easily see this technique in my next journal spread.... hugs from England, joie 🌿💜

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! Yes definitely this would look awesome over black and white!

[@theplumcreekbooksmith]

Thank you for such awesome inspiration!!!!! The quotes book with the quotes teared out is genius!! I'll be trying all these ideas, but especially the quotes idea!! Thanks again!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

My pleasure! Glad you like it and found some inspiration :)

[@susanmary4752]

What a brilliant idea...I drink tons of tea and now I know exactly what to do with the bags. Already compost the tea itself. Thanks for the tip!

[@TreasureBooks]

I love it!! I drink tea too, and before adding milk, I take the tea bag out, and set it aside to dry. Thank you for watching Susan !

[@kathleenfarney5838]

You are my FAVORITE person to watch/list en to! Because of that and my wish for your future successes, please check yourself on saying "and stuff like that" as much as you do at the end of sentences ...10 times in this video! Keep teaching and delighting us! You are fabulous. All my best.

[@jammaarts1585]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Jemma!

[@dianawelch7923]

I too have been saving teabags for quite some time and this is the most brilliant way to use them. Signing off to “give it a play”.

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe Thank you Diana, did you have fun?

[@analuchessi9259]

Tea bag, glue, ink! !! Ohoooo! !! You're so, so creative. Thanks

[@lenalossev1839]

What a brilliant idea! You really find clever ways to alter and use things we have around us instead of buying or printing ready kits. I do appreciate that! Have a little stash of tea bags and didn't know what to do with them. Now I know! Also excited to be able to use more magazines. TFS 🤗🦋🌻🕊️

[@janevincent7103]

Very interesting as I was wondering how to do this. And your tea dying video was great, yet a bit more work than I thought. When I saw the big jar filled with tea H2O and tea bags, I thought, "oh, she's stuffed papers in the jar, how easy," lol. I was dead wrong about that! I have dyed papers with tea and coffee, but not so many at a time. You're very ambitious, Natasha, and selling your beautiful journals, and all the goodies that go with them entails creativity of a higher kind. The fact that you are enjoying the process really matters to me because if I don't love what I do, then... I can see that you work hard to make your creations; and even appear to be creative on the spot as you go and I love that. I hope you see that I'm commenting on 2 videos cuz I saw them in a row. I love your videos so much and have written down your instructions (and my own little drawings when needed) for many many of them. Thank you so much for your generous sharing. XOXOJANE

[@jillrusche8975]

What a brilliant idea! I’m always amazed at the techniques you come up with, as well as creative ways to repurpose unused items...love your work and your channel!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Jill, much appreciated!!

[@genamomma]

Love this tip! I've got some old magazines I've been hoarding because of the vintage modern pics to use, "someday"! Someday is here! Thank you! 👍💖

[@TreasureBooks]

I love it!!! Now is the time!

[@karmenburke6044]

OMG! I'm going to go make some tea right now! Love love love this idea! Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Karmen!

[@patriotmem2645]

Wow very impressive. That is so cool. Thanks so much for sharing, well, off to make some tea!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe I love it. Thank you!

[@deborahdettor1694]

How FABULOUS!!! Would have never thought of this on my own. Yes - I imagine this technique is super fun! 😊🔆

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Deborah! SO much fun! Even just general collaging :)

[@terrilyndel]

Such a cute little journaling book and great little surprise for a journal and fun to make to keep us crafting

[@SPAmeHandmadesoapsandmore]

[@TreasureBooks]

Oooo Veliko hvala!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Topli pozdrav!

[@vesnadinek5490]

Wonderful idea, wonderful tutorial. Thank you.

[@studiorat1766]

Thanks for coming up with this wonderful idea. It also would be a good way to give some more fragile papers a bit of reinforcement.

[@LilianGuerrero]

Love this idea. I'm going to give it a try. Your images turned out great. Thanks!

[@NancyMcInnis18708]

As an avid tea drinker, I love this idea and will now be playing around with my tea bags... Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Awesome! Thanks Nancy :)

[@lisagd22]

The pictures really do look like they're from old magazines! I have some tea bags saved, so now it's off to look for some images to use. Another thing you can do to add to the vintage look is add some little specks of the same color to the page, sort of like how people use a toothbrush and ink or paint to splatter a page, but you only want a few small ones.

[@TreasureBooks]

That's a great idea, thank you :)

[@steficasudar7976]

Wow, Natasha, what a great tutorial...Today I have learn something new and beautiful...Thank you !!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hvala puno Stefice :)

[@LauraLouLou]

You are a trail blazer! Pure inspiration! Use this all the time!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you ❤️

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

What a fun way to get some vintage images. TFS

[@debbiecooper3125]

Oh my goodness sweet lady, you have given me more fun today then I've had in a long time! I am using all my saved tea bags on old magazines, maps and cards. It is addicting and I didn't want to stop. I left wrinkles on one old advertisement of a beautiful lady smoking with a brand of cigarettes that had "old" in the word> I'm going to say my mom always said these would make you look old and wrinkled. I also found an ad for a lady all dressed in a hat and red suit and jewelry looking at washing machines that began with the word "Hot" so I will use that one too to prove laundry makes you look hot! I used my homemade decoupage glue, but the brand Decou-page worked better with a wet brush, but it is so expensive I switched to the other. It still works, just not as stiff on the pages. This tutorial was fun, and I'm glad I had all the supplies handy. I have many old magazines from 30's to 50's. The images in them are already vintage so I don't have to worry about finding vintage looking images. I get them at estate sales pretty inexpensively. One of the problems with vintage looking junk journals are images that look glossy and new, so now I can buy garden picture books and make them look old.

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehehe Debbie, what a fun comment to read! You are SO lucky to have such old magazines!! And you are totally right about vintage looking journals having glossy and new ephemera :) It makes me happy that you dove right into this project! Thank you :)

[@BEATRIZMAG1111]

How lucky you are to have vintage magazines 🥰🤗

[@melodyluvsherhobbies9454]

I love vintage pictures, and you have found a wonderful way to make them. Thank you sooo much for sharing. 💖🌸

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Melody!

[@fabricpixie]

loose tea works great for 'rust dying' fabrics … sprinkling it in with the rusted 'stuff' on fabric that is soaked with vinegar … some of the tea turns dark blue like indigo and sometimes black … fun fun

[@veronicawhite398]

Absolutely fabulous! I've not liked using magazine images because they are too glossy and new. Thankyou for teaching this technique. I love it.

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@terrycrary9647]

I love what you do with papers! I also think you have beautiful hands!

[@patmiller2604]

I absolutely Love this technique and have tons of teabags...can hardly wait do try this! 💜

[@judywest5556]

I love all your ideas! Thank you for sharing!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Judy!!

[@stacypearce3945]

Oh my gosh I love you! " you could go buy a journal at target, but that's not what it's about" spot on for me anyway :)

[@jennifersantucci1855]

Ahhh this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve tried to look for ways to use my tea bags and this is so accessible. I’ve seen them used as mini-canvases (beautiful artwork but beyond my ability) and as an added texture for master papers (I do like that extra texture) but I love how this is a simple way to age pictures! I have so many vintagy pictures but look too new and I don’t think they’d hold up to coffee/tea dying. Thank you for this!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Natasha, that’s really really helpful and clever of you. You made a brilliant job of those magazine pages. Thank you so much xx Mags

[@Teeniebfable]

Absolutely love this. It gives a brilliant effect and finish. Will be giving this a try for sure 👍🏻

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!

[@amandascott-burton9285]

Hi Natasa, along with the eggshells I keep for mosaics I will start adding my teabags to dry. Love this idea and the results are wonderful. Such a clever crafter, always enjoy your videos. Take care, Amanda xox

Thank you so much Amanda!!!

[@lynnharrell303]

Love this. I have some vintage magazines from the 30's that would be great to do this process with. Thanks for sharing.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh wow! From the 30s?? Lucky you!

[@raeboyd5596]

I know, wasnt it so liberating to find out you can put anything in your journals as long as you arent scanning and selling it as a digital! and I love this idea! Thankyou for sharing!

[@TreasureBooks]

OMG YES!! I used to worry so much about it, and nearly gave it all up, thinking what's the point!

Hi Natasha! I have some old vintage books with beautiful poems in them and expressions and even sayings from Shakespere! Great to do this to them Great idea Thank You so much!

[@dorothymadison9117]

[@sueseanglynn2801]

Well done a wonderful idea, don't b hard on yourself u are so inventive with pockets and colors xx

[@whiteswanrs]

I'm going to buy some old magazines at the thrift store and use them because the expressions are much more appropriate to vintage than current fashion models. Thanks for clarifying copyright issues. I think you're right and I've studied the issue.

[@TreasureBooks]

Absolutely. I totally agree. I have some magazines from the 90s and even earlier, and the images are much more appropriate to be honest. But I chose to use modern ones, just to show how we 'can' vintage them up a bit :) Thank you for watching.

[@whiteswanrs]

@@TreasureBooks I absolutely understand. I'm going to watch more of your videos today. Thank you.

[@Kimkarlene]

Love this .... great idea!! Thanks for sharing.

[@rachelkoiks]

What a good idea! I'm just thinking about all the tea bags I've thrown out the past week because I never drink tea but it's really cold and would really like to dig in the trash now. I'm not going to.. but that image of me digging in the trash is still there.
