[@leslie5161]

Thank you for explaining how to get different looks according to how you fold it and place it

Never thought of using nitwit kits for tea bag folding but they make really nice cards.I will have a go.

[@paulford6686]

Excellent news. Can’t wait to see the results.

[@ludderbarker8027]

Very pretty. I have this paper pack. I can't wait to try this. Thanks

[@paulford6686]

The great thing is, you could use the same kit and yet it will look completely different depending on the papers you choose.

Hi Paul!Lovely projects!!!

[@paulford6686]

Thank you

[@DutchJoan]

Just lovely!! I used to do actual teabag folding years and years ago. I still have the mask and the metal squares to cut the pieces. It was quite some work to collect nice looking teabag wrappings, make the squares and get the print of the wrappings all in the same spot. I remember being bummed out if I ripped a wrapping because I pulled it apart too quick or my cutting blade had become too dull. The way you're doing it with the printable kit is so much nicer and neater and quicker. Everything coordinates colorwise and the squares are all in the same spot without fuss. You can choose your design and the size of the squares instead of being totally dependent on the teabag wrapping.

[@paulford6686]

That sounds very interesting

[@gaylemora1390]

Try adding a brad in the middle to make them spin

[@paulford6686]

Definitely. My previous two tea bag folding videos and so wanted to show a different method here.

[@debradrake1916]

This is beautiful! I can do a bunch of these while relaxing on the sofa!

[@paulford6686]

I know! Once you’re in a rhythm it’s so relaxing

[@thecraftyvisage]

It's so nice to see the arts from waaay back come round again!!! I have many tea bag folds and even a book

[@paulford6686]

It’s great to look back. In my other videos I use square dies too which make perfect squares so combine new and old together.

[@Spoillygirl]

This is beautiful. I can’t wait to make one. Thank you for sharing.

[@paulford6686]

You’re welcome

[@Spoillygirl]

@@paulford6686 What size are the beginning squares? I made one but it seems really small. My border didn't come out as well either.

Hi Paul! I recently found your channel through Ashley @Paper and Twine and subscribed right away! When this popped up today, I was so happy! I made one of these years ago and forgot about it. While cleaning my craft room a while ago I found the one I made but, couldn’t remember how I made it. I searched origami and couldn’t find it and now I know why! It’s teafolding. Eureka! Yours is beautiful in these colors! I need to get that paper! May I ask what size squares you started out with? Where can I find the digital paper? Thank you ever so much for bringing this back into my life! I really am excited about it! Hugs 🤗. Robin

[@paulford6686]

Sounds like perfect timing

[@nadegeraynaud4851]

Bonjour Vraiment magnifique

[@paulford6686]

Thank you

[@cruisingal1]

I don't see where the dimensions are given for the little squares. I need to know that so I can cut the squares to start.

[@paulford6686]

They work with any squares. Whatever size you begin with (before folding) will be the rough size of your completed topper.

[@cruisingal1]

@@paulford6686 Thank you. That is very helpful.

[@katherinevegaleon4721]

I'd like to ask you what do you do to get those high quality colors from these digital papers? I love Nitwit,but I dont get those results in my Epson.
