You may find it really helpful to watch my little video tutorial on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYV4j81h6Y8

This will walk you through the folding step-by-step and help you see exactly how it comes together.


But if you prefer written instructions, don't worry — I've got you covered below!



Step-by-Step Instructions to Create Your Tea Bag Folded Topper

Step 1: Cut Out Your Tiles

  • Print and Cut out the 4 larger square tiles from your sheet.
  • These will be the tiles you fold to create your topper.

Step 2: Create the Fold Lines

  1. Place one tile on your work surface print side up, with the points at the top and bottom like a diamond shape.
  2. Bring the bottom point to the top point, creating a triangle.
  3. Use your bone folder to firmly crease the fold line.
  4. Open it up.
  5. Turn your tile 90 degrees and repeat the fold from bottom point to top point.
  6. Open it up again – you should now have two diagonal fold lines.

Step 3: Fold the Opposite Way

  1. Turn your tile over so the white side is facing up.
  2. Place it down in front of you as a square shape (not a diamond this time).
  3. Fold in half from left to right to create a fold line down the middle.
  4. Open it up.
  5. Rotate it 90 degrees and fold in half again from top to bottom.
  6. When you open it up, you will now have 4 clear fold lines (2 diagonals and 2 straight across).


Step 4: Collapse the Tile Into a Folded Square

  1. Turn your tile back to the patterned side up.
  2. Hold the bottom left corner with your left hand and the top right corner with your right hand.
  3. Gently push the sides in – the fold lines will want to come together and the tile will naturally collapse into a small square folded tile.
  4. Smooth down all the edges to make it crisp.

Repeat Steps 2-4 for all 4 tiles.

Step 5: Create the Inner Folds

  1. Place your folded tile down in front of you with the inside folds facing up (the part that opens like a little pocket).
  2. Take the bottom left point (Point A) and bring it to the centre (Point B) to create a fold along the dotted yellow line
  3. Firmly crease that fold.





4.)Repeat this fold on the other side by bringing the bottom right point into the centre.

5.)Your tile will now have two little folded sides giving it dimension.

6.)Repeat this step for all 4 folded tiles.



Step 6: Cut Your Card Base

  • Cut yourself a 9cm square piece of card.
  • This will be the base you build your folded tile topper on.
  • I like to do 9cm square as it gives me a bit of wiggle room if I want to trim it down later.

Step 7: Assemble Your Topper

  1. Visualise your square card base as a pie with 4 quarters.
  2. Start by gluing 2 of your folded tiles onto opposite corners, ensuring the points face outward.



3. Leave a nice bit of white space around them to create a clean border for your topper.

4.Once those 2 are glued down, glue the remaining 2 tiles in the remaining corners, still leaving a white border.

5.Once you're happy with the placement, glue everything down securely.

Step 8: Finish Your Topper

  1. Once glued, you’ll see a beautiful dimensional layered effect in the centre of your topper.
  2. You can now add a centre embellishment like a gem, pearl, flower, or button to give your topper a finished look.
  3. If you want, you can mat and layer your topper onto glitter card, mirror card, or patterned paper to really make it pop.

✨ And that's it – you've now created a stunning Tea Bag Folded Topper! 💕 It's up to you if you want to use the topper as a square as shown here


or in a diamond orientation as shown here:

decorate as you like with gems, ribbons and a sentiment

April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.

Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
