(recycle paper, old box, cardboard)

Make a special tea holder which you can take directly out of your kitchen and use with your next cup of tea. Use paper and accessories that complements your kitchen theme and create a classic and arty holder.

What do you need?
Old cigar box Pattern paper Gel medium Handle Printed label Plain coloured cardboard Cardboard pieces as dividers in the holder Old music sheet paper Craft knife and cutting board	Metal ruler Brush Hand drill Screwdriver Double-sided tape Scissor Bone folder Glue stick

Step 1
Measure the top and sides of the box and cut pattern paper to the right sizes. Use your craft knife and metal ruler.

Step 2
Apply a layer of medium gel on the surface of the box. Place the pattern paper on top of the gel medium and paint another thin layer over it. Rub out any air and make sure that the paper is smooth –any air bubbles will disappear as the gel medium dries and the paper get smooth.

Step 3
Use a hand drill to drill a hole in the lid. Loosen the handle's screw and position it in the hole. Fasten it firmly with a screwdriver at the inside of the box.

Step 4
Decorate the outside of the box with a tea label that you've printed from the computer. Mount it on the plain coloured cardboard to stand out against the pattern paper. Stick it with double-sided tape to the box.

Step 5
Decorate the box further with pictures, decorations and any other accessories, for instance an old teaspoon.


To create the dividers for inside
Create the dividers in your box for the purpose of dividing different kinds of tea. You can make beautiful printed labels in order to help you identify the different types of tea with ease.

Step 1
Cut firm pieces of cardboard which will fit inside the box's length and the height of the inside. Wrap these pieces of cardboard with music sheet paper.

Step 2
Cut out two pieces of pattern paper (that which remains of the outside) for each divider. The pieces of paper must measure 2 cm which will be glued to the divider itself and 2 cm that will be glued to the box and then the same size in height as the divider cardboard.

Step 3
Fold the pattern paper pieces in the middle and stick one side to the divider cardboard. Repeat with the opposite side. Remember that the two sides must be glued on opposite sides in order to ensure that the divider is steady.

Step 4
Place double-sided tape on each of the over folded pieces. Place the divider in the box and glue it together.

Step 5
Stick the identification labels inside the lid right opposite to the place where the specific tea will be placed.
