| What Can I Do With Old Tea Bags? |
A Reader from Nampa, Idaho Writes: I have loads of old tea bags. Are there any ways I can use them or should I just throw them away?
Jill: Tea bags work well for tea dyeing craft and sewing projects. Also if you have curtains or a tablecloth with colors that are too bright for you decorating scheme, you can tea dye them that give them a pretty muted look. This works especially well for the country or antique look.
I also keep moistened tea bags in a plastic bag in the freezer or fridge. When I have a headache or my eyes are burning, itching or just puffy from eye strain, I lie with one tea bag on each eye for ten or fifteen minutes. It really is soothing.
