Thanks! Tea staining is VERY easy...I sometimes use a mixture of tea and coffee if I have a little left in the pot from am coffee...I use muslin, but any light fabric will do..just soak it for about an hour or two, then squeeze out the tea/coffee, I place the project on an old towel and press with a very hot iron, best if you have an old iron as it can scorch on there...thats what you do to the fabric is scorch it, the longer you leave on, the darker it gets, it kind of does a natural spotting look, be careful not to use the point of your iron too much, because then the shape of the iron will come out on your fabric! Have fun, I sure love to do it!

I have no idea how to tea-stain - so your talents are immense in my book!
