I made this for a swap, the idea was to repurpose envelopes to make a tea wallet/book. Because I didn't have any envelopes with decorated flaps, I decorated them myself. I also didn't like the look of having the fronts of the envelopes blank, so I used decorative paper to fill in the gaps. I also copied a few recipes and put some tea facts and miscellanea onto cute note paper and slotted them in amongst the tea bags.I hope my partner enjoys the wallet as much as I enjoyed making it! I took a lot of pictures to document every part of the book as I know I'd forget otherwise!
