I watch wispy butterflies, before my eyes, they flutter and glide, my gardens pride..

[@lorrieklessig5655]

What a great idea with the tea bag. Every journal that I have made I put a butterfly in it somewhere. My little signature.

[@RegenaWallace-ri1ds]

Cool. I made my little signature trains. My dad died 3 1/2 years ago 2020 from COVID. He and I loved trains. He fixed a train to hang from the ceiling so we all could enjoy and grandkids couldn’t tear it up. So I put one in every JJ.

[@lorrieklessig5655]

@@RegenaWallace-ri1ds very cool

[@lynncapps6155]

Whenever I start seeing butterfly journals I know Summer isn't far away. Love this challenge!

[@kreativekreationsbyjdiy2287]

Butterflies are little things that make a big impact on happiness. Loved your ideas. Can’t wait to see more. I’m super excited about the challenge. ❤

[@Autumnlanejournals1985]

A butterfly was my first tattoo. They are beautifully 🦋 enchanting and always have been a favorite ❤

[@joycedemolle4565]

Butterflies are a sign of happiness. Love them. Whenever you see a butterfly, whisper “I love you” . The butterfly will fly to heaven to bring your message to loved ones.

[@jalderson7697]

You just can’t go wrong using a butterfly in your journal. I usually have at least one. Love the idea of using the tea bags for different projects. I’ll need to give them a try.

[@theserendipitouscrafter3532]

Great ideas using tea bags! Can’t wait to try some out! Can’t wait for nicer weather to see butterflies flying again !

[@AmandaWenzel]

Beautiful flies remind me that there is always beauty at the end of pain. It’s meant to find your wings and soar. ❤

[@margaretvogel9172]

Hi Jesica, I love using teabags , love your ideas tfs

[@krembry08kentucky]

So creative! I really love the pressed flowers and fern. I also have those butterfly stamps!

[@lorrieh621]

I love to see a butterfly land close by so I can admire their beauty! They are so beautiful! I also love this idea of making embellishments and ephemera with the actual tea bag papers. Very clever and creative! They all turned out so good! I have never made a junk journal before but I plan to, and I will try these out. ❤

[@jcramatte]

The leaves made from the tea bags are simple and beautiful. I can see them being the wings of a butterfly.

[@linaleblanc8288]

There's just something about butterflies. Like they're magical and enchanting ✨️

[@lorilehnen9077]

I have been searching for new to me techniques and have found them through watching you. Beautiful butterflies and Summer leaves remind me that Summer isn't far away.

[@alanah6152]

I love using butterflies in my crafting ❤

[@careyclapp8357]

In the summer I love to see what type of butterfly are around. Really enjoyed watching your process to make teabag embellishments!

[@CherishEaDay]

Butterflies are free. Loved the fern sandwiched between the teabags.

[@anashandmadecreations5764]

Wow these are stinking adorable!! Thank you Jessica!💕💕💕

[@noreenlawlor3700]

Love what you did with the tea-bags. Their aged look appeals to me so much. Everyone loves butterflies. Its always a joy to see them fluttering about among the flowers during the Summer months. They represent freedom to me. Also "Papillon" by Henri Charriére is one of my favourite books. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

[@kellylee3914]

These projects are so beautiful especially the butterfly! Butterflies know the beauty of change! 🦋

[@pamspicer97]

So many creative ideas you have for using tea bags! Who would have thought!!🤷‍♀️ Love the butterflies on them! 😉

[@darylfisher8341]

Love your papers, I have to make more I am running out. Adore using tea bags, will have to try it. Love the butterflies, and your pressed flowers. 😊❤😊

[@MsBeBubble]

This is so ingenious! Butterflies are so beautiful with all their color. Thank you!

[@everythingcrafty0322]

**Butterfly**This is great idea! I never thought of taking the bags apart and using them as a sheet. Butterflies are my favorite!

[@tracylanderos1848]

I absolutely LOVE to embellish with a butterfly. During the summer I like to go out on my patio and do junk journaling and embellishments to send in swaps. Another great video, thanks!!

[@KentuckyKrafter]

Great suggestions on ways to use the tea bags. I think the butterfly ones might be my favorite.

[@creativetempojournals]

The pressed leaf and flowers came out so cool! I love how you made the leaf one into a tag! I love when you happen to see a really pretty butterfly outside :)

[@raylenevann3086]

The butterflies are so beautiful an will make a awesome addition to the already beautiful journal.

[@mwsdesigns]

I'm excited to try out some of these teabag ideas... they're so creative! I love making butterfly ephemera.

[@kelcyjones6513]

That quilted teabag page is really unique. I found a Monarch butterfly hanging in the backyard drying its wings last week, fresh out of a cocoon.

[@PeggyTaylor-jl7yq]

Love the tea bag ideas ... Especially the butterflies.

[@craftyoldlady]

So cute! I've had teabags lying around in a drawer for years because I couldn't figure out what to do with them! Thanks for sharing your ideas! The Monarch butterfly population is dwindling. They could use our help!

[@judyluthy9724]

Yes they are! We lived in Mariposa, CA 45 years ago, and the Monarchs would just cover the bushes as they rested on their travels. I went back to visit a few years ago, and the numbers just weren't there. sad

[@user-pt6ug1eu2r]

I love butterflies and flowers

[@dalepurlia843]

I love the way the butterflies pop on the tea bags! SO PRETTY

[@kerrietuni4892]

Very good idea for re-using teabags. Love the stamped butterflies.

[@Lori-rr2nb]

[@aprilkeller7804]

I love butterflies. I put at least one in every journal, scrapbooking pages and even my cards.

[@BMCANULTY1]

I love tea all year long not just in summer. I have so many tea bags that I use in my art. Like fabric, "you can't have too much."

[@rhodarapp3795]

OMG! You are so creative, the ideas you come up with are awesome.🍄🦋. Thanks for a great video. The use of the dried tea bags is the coolest idea for hearts, leaves, etc…Wow! I will definitely use my butterfly stamps, my fav aunt loves butterflies to.

Jessica what a great idea using teabags. I usually put my used tea bags in my garden. I am going to take my bags out of my compost bucket now.Excited to play with tea bag paper. I especially like the fern tag. 😊Thank you for sharing.😊.

[@sherryhabing8104]

The tea bags are awesome. Butterflies forever ❤

[@jeriannroberts1816]

The little teabag tags could be used for making butterfly wings. The red would give a nice pop of color as they are already stained. ❤

[@tonyashatley5040]

These were definitely inspiring. I love butterflies and I have that DT stamp set and I also have the DT butterfly stencil! I love the idea of cutting out shapes and putting them on book page. Looks great!

[@janicereece3842]

What a great way to use your tea bags. I love the butterflies those turned out magnificent but I really loved your compartmental page with all your ideas on it. Love the messy sewing always have. Curious to see the end result.💜💜💜

[@topcropper]

I love all these ideas!! I have some cute butterfly stamps I can use. This is a fun challenge!

[@krismills4393]

I just wish my dollar tree had all the stamps and washing tape you mentioned. I was there today and they had none of this stuff. I really liked your ideas using tea bags!😊

[@jeanniesantiago462]

Fun to watch you show different techniques that we can use. Where I am in Florida it’s always summer so I can get lots of different leaves to try . Thanks 😊

[@Meyersci]

I've been using tea bags for tea, then use a bowlful to dye paper, then empty and iron the bags. Hibiscus tea makes a gorgeous deep pink. I love stamping on tea bags and collaging with the stamped bags. Each one can be a little masterpiece! I think I have about 20 butterfly rubber stamps!
