On the spectrum from trick to treat, I’m hoping these friendly little handmade Halloween tea-spooks definitely fall on the treat side. Next year, maybe I’ll get my act together and pair them with some skeleton gingerbread men. Or gingerbread cats. Or something. This year, I packaged them up with yellow craft paper and posted them off to these lovely blog readers.
If you need a last minute, slightly-more-grown-up treat to give to friends, a set of these little guys will take you about five minutes to make.
1. Download the template
2. Print or photocopy it onto thick paper or cardstock
3. Cut out each friend, then attach them to teabags with staples or tape
If you have a bit more time, get fancy with some lovely herbal blends, or even create a teabag of your own with a little ball of loose-leaf tea in a square of muslin, secured with string.
The friendly spooks will reach their arms around the edges of your tea cup while the tea steeps.
Happy Halloween friends!
