These DIY heart tea bags are a super cute idea as a quick gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, anniversary or wedding day or for a birthday.

How to Make DIY Heart Tea Bags

You should put about 3g of loose tea into the DIY heart tea bags

With a little imagination and creativity, you can give the DIY heart tea bags a personal touch. Label your tea with a melodious name to match the tea blend, such as “Hot Love” or “Harmony”, and write a lovely saying, compliment or wish on the back of the label.

Step by Step Instructions

A nice little envelope works especially well as an envelope for the DIY heart tea bags
Off to the post office in a matching envelope
  1. Use a heart-shaped biscuit cutter as a template and circle it on the tea filter. You can also cut out a heart on paper and use it as a template, or freehand trace the heart.
  2. Cut out the heart and secure the two tea filter layers with a paper clip.
  3. Start at the top of the heart and sew the heart 3/4 of the way around to the right. Leave about 2-3 mm of edge overhanging.
  4. Fill with loose tea.
  5. Sew the heart completely closed and knot the end of the thread.
  6. Use the hole punch to punch a small hole in the top of the heart and thread the baker’s twine through it to keep the tea bag from falling into the cup and to attach it to the cup.

  1. Punch a rosette out of dark red paper and glue a circle with a diameter of 2 cm onto it.
  2. Paste a heart sticker on it and, if you like, label it with a name for the tea to match the occasion.
  3. On the reverse side, write the brewing time of the tea and leave space for a personal wish, saying, a word or a small drawing. I have used a matching stamp motif for breastfeeding tea and fear tea for a new mum.

Have fun making them and of course giving them as gifts!
