![How I use TEA BAGS in your art journal! ☕️ Recycled Trash to Treasure art
Did you know that everyday household items can make the most beautiful art supplies? ☕✨ In this relaxing, 40-minute masterclass, I am taking you step-by-step through a stunning vintage mixed media process in my altered book.
Today, we are working on a zero-budget background! I will show you how to repurpose dry tea bags to create gorgeous, semi-transparent fabric textures, and how to use real brewed tea as watercolor paint. We will also prep our pages with clear gesso, play with embossing paste, and build beautiful vintage paper clusters using scraps. Grab your favorite cup of tea and lets craft together! 🫖
