Craft: Tea Bag Wreath

With some help from my tea-drinking friends, I have created a wreath of tea bag wrappers which we used to decorate our small apartment. It's really easy, and a good way to use all of those wrappers that you don't really need anyway. And it didn't cost us anything! See how we did it:

Pieces of cardboard leftover from a box my mom mailed me made our matting.
We tried a couple different strategies. In this one, the tea bag wrappers were layered up and down.

In this design, we decided to do more of a fish scale layering. We went with this design.
 And after hot-gluing the pieces of cardboard together and the tea bag wrappers to the cardboard, we have a finished product! We used command strips to fasten it to the wall.
