Washi Tape Bunting *Tutorial*

Yes, it's true I have jumped on the Washi Tape band wagon.  If you don't know what washi tape is, then you may have been living under a rock for several months.  Washi tape is a Japanese paper tape similar to masking tape but it is stronger (you can stick and re-stick it several times) and doesn't leave a residue. Also it is SO cute.  I mean just look at it.  I know you're all drooling.

I have also been playing with the new PicMonkey and having just a little to much fun.
 

Okay, on to the super simple and oh so cute tutorial.

I first saw washi tape bunting here on Attic 24 a very long time ago. It has been stuck in my head since. I looked on line at buying some washi tape but never wanted to spend the money and shipping for it.  Then it showed up at Target and I was off (like a dress on prom night) to buy some.  All of the tape I used was bought at Target.  You can find it in the office supply section in a little stack.  It only costs $4 for a package of 4. (the tape with wording on it was found the the scrapbooking section and was $2 for one roll) Not bad!

Here is how you can make your own Washi Tape Bunting.
It's really hard so pay very close attention.

Step one:  Cut a length of tape.  I used around 2 inch strips. (I just eyed balled it)

Step two: Place twine or thread in the middle of the tape.

 Step Three: Fold over tape. Press together.

Step Four:  Stop and watch the baby build a tower with the tape rolls.  They are very good for that too.

Step Five:  Trim it.

Step six: Repeat.

Yep that's it.  You can hang them anywhere.  A bookcase, a picture frame, a wreath. around candles, really the list goes on and on.  I put mine on my flower jug. I just taped it on with more washi tape. We made some paper flower to go in the jug for the times I can't get fresh flowers.

The bunting and flowers make me happy. Hope you are having a great day and start to your week.

Thanks for stoppin' by and hangin' out.
