I hosted this swap a few years ago and thought itβd be fun to play with washi tape once again.
Fine Details:
- Grab a few rolls of washi tape or some of the samples you've received lately.
- For this swap, you can either make a note card or a bookmark, however you may have so much fun playing with washi that you might want to make one of each. π
- Lay some strips side by side on a piece of card stock. If you're making a standard A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2), your card stock layer should be 5 x 3 3/4. Bookmarks can be done similarly.
- In my swap photo, I put my strips diagonally and then added a stamped "hello" saying in the corner.
- As not all washi tape is created equal as far as stickiness goes, please fold your washi tape edges around to the back of the layer and then adhere the layer to a folded card base (or piece of card stock if making a bookmark). This will ensure that the ends don't peel up as they sometimes do when they are cut flush with the card edges.
- Feel free to use a similar design or come up with one of your own. Adding a word, quote, or scripture is optional. If you want to do all strips with no greeting, that's fine too. Sometimes they look pretty just as they are.
- Decorate the front of your mailing envelope with washi tape too.
Have fun! π
