of Designers Choice GoWashi tape.
Open to U. S. residents only please.
Using washi tape to cover recycled containers is a great way to transform them into stylish home decor items. That’s just what I’ve done to a cardboard container. Simply by slicing it up and covering with washi tape I have made a fun mobile perfect to display fun little figurines.
The first step is to slice the container into sections.
First I cut the metal part off the top.
I used a seam gauge to mark 1 3/4 inch sections with a pencil.
I used a combination of an X-Acto knife and a Dremel.
To make the edges smooth I used the high-tech tool, a nail file (emery board). I also pealed the paper label off as much as would come off easy and then sanded sown the rest with the emery board.
These packs of Washi tape from GoWashi come with cutting edge on the dispenser. How cool! You can see all the different packs and more washi tape projects at their site.
Cover each section with strips of washi tape. I like to cut the tape from the back side so the edge of the scissors is flush to the edge of the cardboard. This makes a perfect flush cut.
On the last piece of washi tape I put on the cylinder I slipped one end of button thread under it with a bit of white glue to secure.
Once the glue is dry tie the other end of the thread to an embroidery hoop and use a bit more thread to hang the hoop.
I plan on switching out what I display in the mobile. The variety of prints on the washi tape will allow me to mix up my decorations throughout the year.
