Milk and Tea Bath Party Favors

Welcome to the second day of Tried & True’s 5th Anniversary Celebration! Yesterday I shared the free “Smell The Roses” invitations for my virtual tea party and now we’re working on the party favors, Milk & Tea Bath Soaks. They come together super easily and you probably already have most of the materials in your kitchen right now. The perfect little “thank you” gift for a tea party!

In addition to this fun tutorial, we’ve got another giveaway from a great craft company, We R Memory Keepers! I’ve had the privilege of working with them for the last few months and I’m constantly impressed with their innovative and fun approach to crafting. To help us celebrate our anniversary, they generously donated 5 of their awesome punch boards for today’s giveaway. Scroll down to the bottom of this post to enter!

Milk and Tea Bath Party Favors

Materials

• Powder Milk
• Loose Green Tea
• Chamomile Buds
• Old-Fashion Oatmeal (not quick or instant)
• Coffee Filters
• We R Memory Keepers Crafter’s Stapler (use code “TRIEDTRUE” for 20% off)
• Baker’s Twine
• We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board (optional) (use code “TRIEDTRUE” for 20% off)

Instructions

1. You have tons of options when it comes to buying your ingredients. I posted links to the organic versions on Amazon but if you already have some of the items stocked in your pantry, feel free just to use those. In a pinch, you could even just cut open some green tea bags and shake out the leaves.

2. Thoroughly mix ingredients together and scoop about 1/8 c into the center of a coffee filter. I had about 1/8 c of tea, 1/3 c chamomile, 1/2 c powder milk, and 1 c of oatmeal. This made approximately enough to fill 12 bags.

3. Fold two sides in (like a taco) and double fold the tips to seal. Push flat (like a burrito) as illustrated in the image below. (Are you hungry for Mexican food now? 🙂

4. Fold filter in half and press the corners. Fold the top over twice to create the tea bag look!

5. Add a piece of baker’s twine and staple in place at the top of the bag. Add a small handwritten tag at the end of the twine.

6. (optional) Based on your tea party decor and preference, you might want to individually package each Milk and Honey Bath favor. I went the super easy route and topped each bag with a flower I made with the We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board. I just hand wrote “Thank You!” on a 1″ circle and stapled the whole thing together. So easy!

Hope you enjoyed the party favors for Tried & True’s 5th Anniversary Tea Party! Come back tomorrow to talk about yummy finger foods, table display options, and another fun crafty giveaway! (Hint: Mod)
