Bunny Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Since they are not going in the tub, would iron on transfers work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Since they are not going in the tub, would iron on transfers work?Dont think so as they are HEAT SEALABLE...you use an iron to seal them shut:p LOL...I had already thought of that.

Bunny Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Well.. You have a point there! LMAO! It was good while it lasted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I have a stupid question...If they're not tub teas, and they don't go in water, how will they be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I have a stupid question...If they're not tub teas, and they don't go in water, how will they be used?You can also use them as drawer sachets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 How about putting something heat resistant inside the bag and use the iron-on. That way when you use the iron it won't fuse the whole thing together. Hope that made sense- I know what I mean !! OR If your artistic you could paint the bag, again putting cardboard inside so paint doesn't go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epheme Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 my thought is some sort of stencil using fabric paint. You could even make your own with some cardboard (i use file folders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 You could get some trim ribbon with beads on it and glue the trim around the tea bag. What about just plain ole eyelash trim and glue that on. You could get some tiny beads and sew them around the edges. There are fabric sheets you run through the printer that have sticky backs so you could find a graphic and print something out on it and then adhere it on the bag.

BruceCarvesWax Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 my thought is some sort of stencil using fabric paint. You could even make your own with some cardboard (i use file folders). Thats close to what I was thinking. You would use a stamp with the paint... they make custom stamps everywhere now days. You could also do the stencil and use a air brush with paint or maybe even food coloring, like a cake decorator ?? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow-burn Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Or you could just dress the outer wrapper up really, really pretty :rolleyes2 Nobody is really gonna see it in a drawer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Unless you're going for a country look you could glue flat back crystals on them.Here's a site that has reasonable prices on them:http://www.gspncrystals.com/20122.htmAnother thing you could do glue ribbbon roses on them. You can buy them at fabric stores like JoAnn's in the ribbon section. Walmart probably has some too.Here's an example:http://www.artisticribbon.com/2004RosebudsBows.htmYou could also use a stencil of something like a heart, or fleur de lis, spray the opening with adhesive, then sprinkle glitter in the opening. Sorry, I don't have a link for this idea.I think things like that will really glam them up and will allow you to charge a premium price for them.

Mnhorsemom Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I used to do a lot of rubber stamping, there is lots of things you could do with that. They make special ink pads for fabric if the regular ink wouldn't be heavy enough. I know the crafts section on Ebay has tons of stamping stuff.

Kimberly Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks guys...I am going to expiriment this week. I like the rubber stamping or the stenciling idea.I like the bling bling idea too...but for what I am going to use them for I am afraid the glitter will come off.And nope...not using them for drawer sachets Heather...I just gave that as another use for them. I have a great market for what I am doing with them here......I will take a pic of my finished product.Thanks for the ideas everyone!!!!!!

Kimberly Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking! Pick our brains to help you, then don't share your ideas. LOL...hey I said I would post a pic.
