This is a really great Mother's Day craft!
Includes step-by-step instructions and templates to create three unique Mother's Day Crafts - Tea Pot, Tea Cup and Saucer, Tea Sachet.
Each product is made from just one piece of paper! I have created these products on legal sized paper so that each teapot stands about 6" tall and cups and saucers are sized accordingly. The Tea Sachet pouch fits a standard sized tea bag.
Light card stock, glue and scissors are required. The Tea Sachet will also need some ribbon and tea bags as inserts. Of course you can make all of these products with regular paper but light cardstock just makes a better finished product!
Some templates are pre-decorated and some templates have been left blank for students to decorate as they desire.
