Although hosting a fancy tea party, or creating crafty tea themed treasures is a wonderful thing to do at anytime of the year, it is an absolutely fantastic idea during the month of June. June is National Iced Tea Month, and June 10th is National Iced Tea Day, so there is no better time of the year to create and give gifts in a Tea Time Theme than in June. If you are a creative person, or even just someone who dabbles in crafts when the urge occasionally hits you, you will be presently surprised by the large number of Tea themed craft ideas that can be easily designed for gift giving on National Iced Tea Day.

Tea parties are usually hosted in the most elegant of fashion, so if you are hosting an Iced Tea Day Party have each guest bring with them a bonnet, and all the ribbons and bows that they will need to decorate it. Before the tea actually begins, have each guest design their own special Tea bonnet, and then which they can wear for the duration of the tea party. This is a wonderful event to get your guest socializing, as they tend to borrow, and trade ribbons, bows and flowers while they work on their bonnets. If you have men in attendance it can make for a very humorous afternoon as they too are required to fashion a bonnet for the event.

A nice Tea themed craft idea is to prepare gifts of tea using either pre-designed envelopes or ones that you create on your own. This gives you the opportunity of placing your own unique message on each of the tea envelopes that you create. Once you have your envelopes made you simply fill the tea bags with your choice of herbal, green, white or Oolong teas. A wonderful site where you can pick up free patterns is http://alenkasprintables.com/t eabags.shtml . There are a variety of Tea Envelope designs available at this site, and these can be easily edited to your own preferences, and then printed off from your home based printer.

These Tea Envelopes can also be used to create unique varieties of loose leaf tea. Purchase bulk teas, herbs, and dried fruits and berries at your local health food store and then mix and match to create your own distinctive teas. Ginseng - spearmint - blueberry perhaps, or Green tea - lemon grass- ginger, you are only limited by your imagination. You can also use these same envelopes to create a gift selection of seeds that are for popular Tea herb plants. Lemon grass, spearmint, peppermint, chamomile, fennel, lavender, thyme, rose and bee balm(commonly known as bergamot). But don't stop there,
