DIY: Altered Mason Jar Tea Bag Holder

For the past few years, I’ve been storing my tea bags in a large tin container covered in vintage floral fabric. The fabric was fun, but at the rate that I drink tea, it was never completely full. I just felt like the tin was bulky and taking up too much space. Yesterday, I came …
