Tea Bag Dispenser Box

Tea Bag Dispenser Box

This is a cute little box I made to store tea bags on my desk at work.  The lid comes off and I can fill it with quite a few tea bags.  It is way cute than the store bought box that the teabags originally came in, at least if you ask me! :)  I can also mix up the flavors of the teas and be surprised with the different flavors that I might get out of the box.  I think this would be a great gift idea for my co-workers come the holiday time too!!  or even teachers!! Stocking stuffers, ooohhhh the possibilities...

Supplies
Cardstock
Cardboard (I used old box)

Instructions

Cut a piece of cardboard 12.5 in X 4.5 in.

I wanted the brown kraft cardboard on the outside and the 'colored' cardboard on the inside.  Adhere the flap to the inside of the box.

Cut out a 1 in section on one side as shown:

Cover the box with cardstock using the bookbinding glue:

Add additional decorative elements to the box:

Create a lid - cut a square 4 3/4 in - it will be a 3 1/4 in lid with 3/4in lip around the sides.

Diecut 3 or 4 pieces of cardstock and adhere together to create the base of the teabag box.

Decorate the lid and fill this puppy up with teabags!!
