valentimes

i had the hardest time finding a valentine to make this year. i nearly went out and bought something cute and letterpress, but then i saw this. tea? in a card? yes please. thanks again, ds, for saving me some money.

all wrapped up:

instead of muslin i used those flat cone-shaped coffee filters. i'm not sure they'll mail well, hopefully there's minimal mistreatment/tearing/exploding etc.. i would much prefer muslin, but my stash is all currently devoted to a duvet project (more on that tragedy later). the tea is super tasty and from a tea place down the block. i think the rose petal is a nice touch for saint v's big day.

once i wrap my head around how to glue a doily to craft paper without getting glue everywhere, friends can expect something oversized and ridiculous (because that's what i want sent to me, ahem).

happy saint valentine's!
