A very good day to everyone!
A few months back I did a guest post for my dear friend Desiree, the creator of the amazing blog
Today I am going to share it with my readers…it is an easy project…makes a great gift and it is fun to make! Perfect present material for the upcoming Holiday Season…put your own spin on it and wow your friends and family.
Let’s start at the beginning with the supplies you will need…
A flat frame…some of your favorite washi tapes (I went black and white this time) a paint brush and some acrylic paint.
The rest is as simple as
1.
Sand your frame and then paint it in the color of your choice…this way you can use the actual painted frame as one of your stripes…saves on time and supplies!
2.
Now all you have to do is apply washi tape to your frame in the pattern of your choice. You can see here that I used the white background as thin stripes throughout. Make sure that your tape strips on the side are long enough for you to wrap around so your sides are perfectly finished. One tip…please be sure to burnish the tape on well!
3.
Now take an exacto blade and slice in the center of the tapes…fold around the inside for a finished look and then trip your washi tape in the back.
Viola…ready for display…here are a few more…
…
…
you can create a nice array of designs from just a few rolls of washi tape…add even more possibilities with different color painted bases…like the light pink one above. The possibilities are endless.
The results are fun…
 This project is so easy and the results are very satisfying…truly within 1/2 an hour your frame is complete from start to finish!
The possibilities are endless…the washi tape selection out there is totally and utterly ENDLESS!If you didn’t see my other washi projects…take a peek…a set of these would make an awesome present this holiday season.

OK, this is pretty darn genius! I need to get me some washi tape and get crafting! I can already think of about 28 things to dress up with washi tape! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
