I knew I wanted to make a tea box for the hop. I tried to find one at 2 different craft stores last week and had given up finding one. Then this week, my oldest daughter decided to clean my craft closet at home and found it. I had totally forgotten about it. It was the perfect little paper mache box for this project. It measures 3"x3"x1 1/2". I painted the box with acrylic paints. I glued lace trim around the edges. The teapot was stamped, colored and cut out. The sentiment tea time was stamped with black stazon randomly on the lid and sides.







 Just the right size for holding teabags. Peppermint tea... my favorite...yummmmm!!!!

Now on to the rest of the hop...
