Yay! My first DIY! today, I'm going to show you how to make. Your very own WASHI tape garland! There very easy, and in the end, you get a very cute decoration to put on your wall! I have to give credit to my good friend April, she showed me how to make these when we where doing snail mail together! She also has a blog, (you can find her here) everythingapril.squarespace.com anyways, let's get started...
You will need:
WASHI tape, (in as many colours as you like)
Scissors
String, wool or thin rope
And that's it!
Step 1:
Cut your first piece of tape, about the length of your finger, and place your string over the top, like in the image above.
Step 2:
Fold your tape downwards, and stick the two ends together, making sure that you've "wrapped" the tape around your string.
Step 3:
Take your scissors and at the end of your tape, cut two slits so that it cuts out a small triangle, this is your first flag complete!
Step 4:
Take your next colour and simply repeat the first 3 steps, making sure you leave a small gap between each flag.
When your finished adding your desired amount of flags, I suggest that if your using thin rope, that you wrap some tape around both the ends, this just stops the rope from fraying and looking bad,
Step 6:
Hang on your wall and enjoy!!
I hope you loved my first DIY! There are many more to come :-) and if you have any ideas for a post I could do, just comment below!
