Tea Bag Holders
Tea bag holders are small dishes designed to hold a tea bag after you remove it from your cup or for resting your teaspoon on after stirring your tea. They are used especially at fancy tea parties to keep guests from dripping tea on the white lace tablecloth, and are generally made of ceramic and shaped like animals or tea pots. Even if you don’t have a desire to host an exclusive tea party, and aren’t fussy enough about your table cloth to need an accessory designed specifically to protect it, as a tea lover you will find it hard to resist these tiny tea pot shaped dishes. So, if you’ve bought a few of them on ebay or at garage sales, what do you do with them now?
Hold Candles
Tea bag holders are sublime for holding tiny candles, like tea lights, and make a lovely decoration for any room in your house. The tea bag holders are relatively flat so they will not encompass the light of even the smallest candles, and the tea-themed decorations will work well with your love for tea. You can group several of them together to make a really elegant centerpiece that calls to mind the elaborate tea parties for which they were originally designed.
Hang Them on the Wall
If you really want to show people how much you love tea, hang a few teapot shaped tea bag holders on a wall in your kitchen. They are usually very small and delicate and will add just a touch of decoration without being overwhelming. As you start to accumulate more tea bag holders in different designs, you can arrange them in different patterns to create a unique tea wall in your home.
Organize Jewelry
Try keeping tea bag holders on your night stand or dresser to help you organize earrings, necklaces, cufflinks, tie tacks or small pins. They are the perfect size dish and they add just a touch of decoration to your boudoir.
Clean Up Your Desk
Try placing a few cute tea bag holders on your desk at work to organize your paper clips, tacks, or other small items. You can also use them to hold change, keys, or sewing items. Tea bag holders are great for organizing any small items, and come in enough different shapes and sizes that you can use them to show off your own unique style.
