@ Charlotte Prescott – Thanks! And I’m betting any ‘breathable’ fabric would work. Like a muslin or any fine mesh . . . maybe even an old pair of nylon stockings? I think there’s quite a few options. What were you thinking?

I found you through “Crafting a Green World.” I would hate to imagine a life without cups of tea, and I’m very impressed with your lower-footprint (and compost-friendly) tea bags. Do you think that any fabric other than cheesecloth would work for these?

@ Heidi – I didn’t have any issue with the thread bleeding, but it might be better to use some organic cotton or hemp twine or something. Glad you like the site! Welcome!

These tea bags are so cute I am going to make them for Holiday gifts, but I have one quick question..Does the embroidery thread leak color into the water when steeping? Or do you use a natural dye thread. Love this site!

@ Crusty Baguette – Yes, holiday gifts for sure! My friend and I just wrapped them up in pretty brown parchment paper and tied them with the same green string we used for the tea bags. It was simple and old-fashioned but that really works, considering the gift. =)

Those are beautiful!

I had the same thought that rebecca did,I’m going to use them as Christmas presents for all the miscellaneous relatives this year. Now, to think of a way to package them!

Thank you so much for sharing :-)
