Once in a while, I forgo my great love of coffee for a cup of tea.
Tea is soothing to the soul, and leaves me feeling like I just relaxed all my worries away, even if it is just for a few minutes.
If you are a tea lover, and drink the stuff all day long, all those
tea bags adding up seems very wasteful. You only use them once or twice and then end up throwing them in the garbage, unless you have used
Francesca's tips on reusing tea bags.
Craft Leftovers has an image tutorial that tells us how to
make our own cloth teabags that can be used over and over again. You'll need a small piece of muslin cloth, string, an awl to makes the holes, and needle and thread to stitch the thread into the bag.
For those of us that are into reusing an item over and over again, making your own tea bags is a great step in our never ending quest to
go green. The homemade tea bag can be washed over and over again, and the tea leaves can be added to our
compost.

Actually they sell filter bags that look very similar to the picture above for fish tanks. I bet you could just use one of those and save the trouble.
