Speaker 1 (00:00):
Up cycling empty tea bags. I have done several episodes
and up cycling tea bags, But what about the humble
tea bag itself? Of course I was not looking, and
while I was doing my research, I found ways to
use the the whole tea bag. At first, uh like

(00:22):
the for aerbo bats, removing the tea and using it
for moulst and so much more. But the tea bag
as a standalone component is rich with ideas and ways
to use. Some of the arts and crafts I saw
were amazing. Did you know you can make a two
to two for a doll? Yes, a too too for

(00:42):
a valerie a doll. But the ideas just start, just
start there. How about in certain the tea bag with
some artwork you have done and creating a gift tag
out of it? How much how much more personal can
a gift be than to also have your own gift
tech they're made out of a tea bag. I have

(01:03):
also seen tea bags that were used to create leaves
and then later used as part of a larger project.
How about cars made out of using empty tea bags
as art decoration? But what I like is that some
people did simply much more than that with tea bags

(01:26):
they were used. They used it to make a both
a functional and artistic piece of work. My case impoint
to this is the bag made out of tea bags
sewn together. The tea bags and textures make them a
very beautiful and useful material. They were versatile, They are

(01:48):
versatile and to some people also use them for their
journals among other materials. But I have I have to
save the best for last. Did you know that you
can repair a split nail with a tea bag? Yes,
you reportedly can use a tea bag to repair a
split nail. If anybody has tried or tries it, I

(02:11):
would love to know about it if it actually does work. Well.
For now, remember that life is about possibilities, not impossibilities.
