My Junk Creation: Tea Tag Bookmark

Earlier today, I unloaded my fun Tea Tag Confetti post. You thought it was fun, right?
Here’s a project that requires a little glue, but it’s lovely for a tea sipper.
Simple directions for Tea Tag Bookmark:
-After selecting your favorite tags, arrange in pattern. I used six tags.
-Apply small amounts of glue to bottom tips of tags and begin building the bookmark.
-Wipe away any excess glue on both sides of bookmark.
-Tie a ribbon or a used tea string to the top.
-Let rest between magazine pages, layered with books.
-After just minutes, enjoy your new junk creation!
I chose a stained tea string for a bit more character, but you may want to doll yours up with a coordinating ribbon.
Is this something you would enjoy?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea! Perfect for booklovers who notoriously drink a lot of tea.
Thanks Cherie. It was so easy to make. I’m glad you like it.
This is great, Peggy! There are some really neat tea tags out there… what a fun way to continue savouring your fave tea. As a tea fanatic and a bookaholic, this is the perfect combination for me! You can never have too many bookmarks!
Noreen, I agree – I always seem to need a bookmark. And this was fun to make.
this is GREAT!!!! i might use a variety of tea slips!!!
my palatte changes constantly for tea!!!
Carmella, I think a bookmark with a variety of tags would look great. I just happen to be stuck on one right now. : )
Makes me wish I was a tea drinker. Can you do anything with cola cans???
Eileen, I’m sure there are plenty of things that can be made from cola cans. I’ve even seen bracelets made from the can tabs at Etsy.
I’ll have to do a series on that some time.
