Create teabag collage papers 7 different ways, all of which will add a lovely translucent finishing layer to your collages.
In this video I share seven ways to create teabag collage papers. Start by gathering all of your teabags: red rooibos, black tea, green tea, and even butterfly pea to get a lovely purple color! Once they have been brewed and dried the teabags, they’re ready to be used as a lovely addition to a collage.
One of the simplest techniques I share in this video is stamping on the teabags. Stamping is not something I do a lot, but when it comes to teabags the results are stunning. The trick is to lay the stamp down, place the teabag over it, and use a brayer to get a clean impression.
In the video I also explore using stencils to create beautiful impressions on the teabags, doodling directly onto the teabags using pigment pens, or painting directly onto the teabags (my favorite!).
