How to make felt teabags for a play kitchen

Your child is going to love throwing a tea party for their stuffed animals and with you with this fun teabag craft. Take a look at the links below too where I show you knit sandwiches and fruit that I’ve previously made that will make your tea party complete.

Materials needed

  • felt – brown, white, and (optional) assorted color scraps
  • embroidery thread
  • craft cord
  • stuffing
  • glue
  • needle

Instructions

Step 1

Cut out the basic tea bag shape using an actual tea bag as a guide. You will need two brown and two white pieces per tea bag.  

Step 2

Stitch the cord between the two pieces of felt and add a little glue to the inside to ensure it doesn’t come out.  Before stitching the last inch or so of the brown section, put a little stuffing inside to make it appear that there are tea leaves inside. 

Step 3

Decorate the white tag if you like. As you can see from the photos, I made ours in two different styles.

I made these for Huck’s kitchen last year and he makes us tea all the time. Put rice or lentils inside instead of stuffing and it gives them a nice weight.
