The tea bag folding card is a wonderful addition to the fun fold category of card making. It combines an origami element to a card.
It looks super complicated, doesn’t it? Well, surprise! It’s SO easy! 1-2-3 and the fold is done. I am excited to teach you how to create this amazing origami card!

Wow! What a cool fold. Can’t wait to try it.
I love the idea of teabag folding, i get how you fold the paper, but i can’t put the folded paper together i tried but they didn’t seem to some out like yours did Connie. Thanks for showing us all the fold
Try this – scroll to the 4:45 mark of the video and pause it as needed. Hopefully that will help.
I have arthritis in my hands and it was difficult to hold all the pieces while putting it together. I put a small glue dot on each piece to hold them as I worked. That worked well. Anyone have any other suggestions for someone who has hand issues? I love the fold! Thanks so much for sharing all your great ideas with us!
I just get it to look like Connies, i git the folds alright but i just couldn’t put it together Joyce. From Victoria Australia.
I had the same problem. I could get them together but they kept sliding out of my hands. After many tries, I finally put a glue dot on each triangle before I put the next one on. That held it together for me.
