These handmade felt teabags are the perfect addition to your child’s play kitchen. They’ll love hosting tea parties for their toys and family.
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.

So cute! I’m working on getting enough felt food tutes together for a Roundup, this is perfect!
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.
Wow! So much to see on your blog! I love everything and these little tea bags are so cute! Wish I had some when I was a little girl.
How adorable! Can’t wait till my girls are old enough for the lady bug porcelain tea set I have my heart set on so I can make these to go along with.
