How to Make a Charming Tea Bag Holder Using a Garden Pot and Wood Circle

craft materials such as mod podge, paintbrush, one pot, decorative napkin and paint

Materials 

  • Garden pot- I'm using a white 4inch planter pot (The one I am using is a ceramic pot) 
  • One wood circle- I picked up a pack of 6  3'' wood circles at my local Walmart store for $1.80
  • Mod Podge
  • Decorative napkin
  • Paintbrush
  • One medium or large wooden bead
  • Paper flowers and leaves
  • Adhesive
  • Scissors
  • White acrylic paint
  • Letter stamps
  • Stamp ink

Preparing your decorative napkin and Mod Podge

Decorative napkin, paintbrush, and garden pot

Cut out of decorative napkin, paintbrush, and garden pot on a table

Let's begin by taking a decorative napkin and removing the second layer. Now, use scissors to cut out the design from the napkin that you want to use on the pot.

Next, apply Mod Podge to the pot using a paintbrush. After that, place the napkin over the Mod Podge surface and smooth it out. Apply one last coat of Mod Podge to the top of the napkin and allow it to dry. I like to use my blow dryer between coats.

Applying paint to wooden circle and wooden bead

Paintbrush near acrylic paint, and wooden circle

Now, set the pot aside and take a wooden circle. Use your paintbrush and acrylic paint to paint the wooden circle and bead.  Allow the wood circle and bead to dry completely.
Adding embellishments

Hand holding paper flower over wooden circle lid

If you're using any embellishments, this is the time to add them to the wooden circle. You can add a green leaf design using a little Mod Podge, and then take two paper flowers and glue them to the top of the wood circle using hot glue. Add the wooden bead to the center of the wooden circle using adhesive.

Adding stamped letters

Lastly, if you want, you can stamp letters on the lid. For example, I added the word "tea" to my wooden lid.

Now, you can fill the tea holder with some tea bags. This is a quick craft that can also be given as a gift.

    This is a really cute idea!! I’m guessing, is this a plastic pot or is it ceramic or clay? I’m going to give this a try!

    I used this same technique on my tea bag holder, but mine is a 3x5 index card file box. It holds a full box of tea bags side by side and the top is attached so it doesn't slide off on the way to the porch. It also has a mate for the little bags of sweetener. I've had gobs of comments from visitors about how cute it is, and from now on rather than try to explain how to do it, I can just direct them to your marvelous website. Thanks for the simple and wonderful directions.
