Decoupage plate made with paper from recycled tea bags

This is what I made for the craft swap at school. There were 14 of them, all different. Saved tea bags for 6 month because I wanted to make my own sheets of acrylic-dyed tea bag paper (which I did -- made 16 12 x 18 sheets -- that a lot of tea bags!). Wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with the paper, then decided to make these plates for my friends in the craft swap. It was really really fun for me.
