This book is how I discovered tea bag folding. It may sound strange but I did not become aware of this craft on the Internet. There has not been new publications about TBF since the turn of the 21st century.

I discovered this at a scrapbooking fair and it introduced me to this paper craft. I was almost instantly charmed, but it took me a few months to decide what to do with the medallions and rosettes I had made.

It is the perfect book for learning to fold paper because the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Consider buying the used copy without the papers for folding. Find your old laser printed stationary for folding paper and save money for your practicing sessions.

This is an out of print book. Comeback to Amazon till you can get it for a reasonable price.
