(UPI) A 16-year-old in Denmark is a Guinness World Record holder after amassing a collection of 1,237 tea bag covers.
Freja Louise Kristiansen of Aarhus first captured the record in June 2018, when Guinness confirmed she had collected 1,023 tea bag covers, and the record-keeping organization said this month that the teenager broke her own record by increasing her collection to 1,237.
Kristiansen said she started collecting the covers in 2010, after observing how her grandmother used tea bag covers for crafting projects.
The teenager said she was inspired to aim for the Guinness record in 2017 when she discovered the current record was only 743, and her collection stood at 650.
