Everyone is born with creativity. But those people who appear to be super creative have a secret. They know that creativity has to be developed and exercised to come easily. I am on a quest to immerse myself in creativity of all kinds. I hope you will join me!

 I learned this quick and impressive origami tea bag holder from the nicest woman who came and sat at the Make it Take it with the Amazing Helen at CHA.  She was the epitome of a lifetime crafter, generous, giving and creative.

I was thinking about it tonight and thought I would show it to you. You can make this little gift in 2 minutes. Literally.  It could be a small yet thoughtful gift for someone who needs a pick-me-up at any time.

Or, you could do it like a parlor trick in front of your friends.  They will oooh and aaah.

 This is the one the sweet lady gave me.

 Opened up, you see there are pockets for a tea bag and a packet of sweetener.

See where she punched hole at the top to string a ribbon through? That is how she tied the holder closed.

I am not kidding when I say you can make this in two minutes.  Get a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper and make one with me watching the video. You don't even need a practice. You can make one on the first try.
