HOW TO TEA STAIN FABRIC:

Take a piece of clean, plain fabric preferably of cotton or a dyeable fabric.
Place 8 - 10 teabags into a large enough rigid container - I used the washing up bowl. Pour boiling water over the teabags enough to release the tea and fill the bowl enough to cover your fabric piece.
Place the fabric into the bowl of tea and make sure it is all covered and wet. Please use a utensil of some sort to push fabric down - not your hands.
Leave fabric steeping/soaking in tea for as long as possible until water is cool.
Take out newly dyed fabric and rinse in cold water.
I did not wash this fabric after dying it but you can handwash if you want. The tea staining should stay in the fabric but may become lighter.
Let fabric dry naturally.
Iron before use.
Use fabric as normal.
