I don't know nearly you, only I'm ever on the hunt for novel washi record projects. While these colourful tapes are definitely multi-taskers, ane of my favourite ways to usage them has ever been for wrapping. Here's a fun (and easy!) agency to brand your ain custom wrapping newspaper as well as a few clever ways to stretch the life of your washi tape!
Materials needed:
- washi tape in your choice of colours & patterns
- white printer paper
- colour printer amongst re-create / scan functions
Using the washi tape, practise a pattern of your choice all over a slice of printer paper. I made iv unlike designs - classic washi strips, stripes, houses as well as starbursts.
Using the color re-create business office of your printer, brand every bit many copies of your pattern every bit you lot would like. It's every bit good a non bad stance to scan as well as salve your pattern - this agency you lot tin ever impress out to a greater extent than wrapping newspaper every bit you lot demand it!
One of the best qualities of washi record is that it is removable, replaceable as well as reusable. You volition notice that ane time you lot brand ane design, you lot tin (carefully) pare the record off the newspaper as well as reuse it brand around other design. My washi strips were reused to brand the houses, as well as the stripes became starbursts. But live on warned that each fourth dimension you lot stick, unstick as well as restick it, the washi record volition lose a piffling of its stickiness.
Once you've created your wrapping paper, why non reuse the record strips? Grab some blank transportation tags and teach crafty making upward pretty tags to stand upward for your paper.
Of course, unless you lot teach wild amongst tag making, you'll even as well as thus accept strips left over. Use these strips to seal upward your packages every bit you lot wrap!
Finish your parcel off amongst some pretty twine or ribbon as well as ane of the tags.
Ta-da! One-of-a-kind washi wrapping newspaper as well as matching tags!
