Things to make for a Tea Party

Saturday, May 1st I helped with putting together a Mother-Daughter Tea Party for our Girl Scout District. We had 92 participants. One of the my duties was to create the teabag holders and a Bingo game. I spent all of last week cutting and putting these together for each participant. You can see the pictures below to see what I came up with.

Teabag Holder. I used pastel cardstock, ribbon, Glue Dots (the strips), and teabags. I cut the file from my .mtc file and then scored on the score marks. Actually I used the first scored one for a guideline, then removed the scorelines on my mtc file to cut the rest and just measured with my Scor-Pal and scored the lines - much neater. Then adhered the teabag to the back section at the top of the teabag with a Glue Dot strip . Then used a 3/16 inch punch to punch two holes at the top above the scalloped edge and added ribbon. Then added another Glue Dot strip along the top section of the panel with the cutouts, to close/seal the holder.

Teapot Bingo Cards

Teacup Bingo Cards

For these Bingo Cards, I used the same matching pastel cardstock. And cut the teapot and teacup from my .mtc file. I then created the Bingo Cards in Excel and changed the heading from B-I-N-G-O to I-(heart)-T-E-A.

This Excel Bingo Card file can actually be used for
any type of party where a Bingo game is needed.

The Excel Bingo Card file has three tabs to click on. The first tab is the callers sheet. There are two call sheets on it. I printed this out on white cardstock to make it sturdy. One of the call sheets, I cut all of the squares so that those would be my Bingo numbers to call out. The second tab has 80 different Bingo Cards. The third tab has a few extras.

***If you download this file for use, you can change the "Bingo" title to whatever the theme of your party is and change the "graphic" in the Free Space to the theme of your party.
Hope you find these files useful.
