Washi Tape Cord

 

Im forever getting mixed up which iphone cord is mine, at home, at work, everyone seems to have an i-something and the associated charger and cable! So when i saw this cord makeover at Makezine i know it was the perfect solution, and isnt it so much cuter now!

Food ID flags

I had a little mini house warming at the weekend and made some Mexican food for my guests. As some of my guests have specific dietary requirements i thought id make some food id flags to make sure there was no confusion. They are simply washi tape wrapped around a cocktail stick with the little triangle cut out of the end to make it more flag like. I wrote on them in silver pen and popped them in their corresponding dishes. Super easy and saved any potential confusion.
[sorry for the terrible photo, i planned to take better ones when they were actually in place but forgot until everything was pretty much eaten and looked like swarm of locusts had attacked so it wasnt looking very photogenic...]

Lovely things I found in Ikea!

You never just buy whats on your list in Ikea, you always find something else you ‘need’!

Gorgeous washi tape

Lovely (cheap) stripey fabric

Fabulous paper decorations

All I went in for was a lamp….

Washi tape tie twists

 

 

I though i would update the diy tie twists i made with some of the washi tape i bought on holiday. The process is exactly the same just using washi tape instead of glued paper and i love them! Think of all the cute ones you could make with all the amazing washi tape out there...

 

 

 

Notebooks and Washi tape!

More holiday purchases! Arent these adorable, i love the airmail washi tape especially, thats going to get a lot of use!

Washi tape stickers - tutorial

I love washi tape and im always trying to think of ways to use it.When i saw this washi tape sticker tutorial i though i could do my own take on it.  What i really wanted was to be able to make stickers to give away, not just to use myself.

So i armed my self with some washi tape, a decorative punch and some freezer paper which would become the backing of the labels

I layered 2 bits of freezer paper over each other and stuck washi tape over the the join. Its important that freezer paper over laps each other and that'll make it easier to pull it away from the sticker when you want to apply your stickers. Also stick the washi tape to the shiny sign of the freezer paper, makes it easier to peel off as well.

I then punched out the hearts. I took the back off my punch and used it upside down as i found it much easier to make sure i was punching in the right area that way

So now i have lots of little heart sticker with easy peel off backing

I used mine to decorate my phone :)

DIY Washi Tape Stamps

I'm still in love with home made stamps and would love washi tape if it wasnt so ridiculously expensive! So, inspired massively by memi the rainbow, i though id make my own. I l-o-v-e them! I think the bunting is my favourite, im going to use it everywhere!

Tape Magnets

These tape magnets over at little lovelies are such a good idea, im definitely going to give then a go. Just hope you can buy the magnetic sheets/tape over here...
