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.
Adorable! I ? washi tape!
Cute! Love the washi tape!
So cute an idea. I’ve got to try some washi tape!

Such a cute idea!
This is why I love washi tape. So many projects to use it on.
Oh my gosh, how cute these are. I love the ones with the camera.
Oh Mercy! To say I’m smitten is a way understatement. It’s the type of lovely art aesthetic application where it’s actually simple in the amt of elements, but it’s the “most bang for the buck” impact, y’know? I could see this done up in all manner of seasonal decor, but also lots of possibilities for a baby room mobile, or any kind of personalized kid or teen room decor, piece, ’cause you’re certainly not limited to the number of rings to design up! Anyhoo, can you tell I just love this? LOVE THE PRETTY TAPES. Thanks much for the giveaway & blessings to all! 🙂
OH wow, I love this and I will be doing this project very soon.

My friend’s little daughter is in love with washi tape. She stuck a piece of her red and yellow chevron washi tape on my phone case to make my phone look pretty. It was a very sweet gesture. Since then, I’ve been buying washi tape to send to my friend for a surprise care package. 🙂
