DIY: Washi Tape Letter {and key covers}

Remember when I included washi tape on My Wish List? Well, I finally started my collection! and I already started doing some washi tape DYI's :) Today I'm going to show you the first two things I've done.

 

For the Washi Tape Letter, I bought a decoration letter at Kmart for $2.50, and the washi tape at Office Max for $1.00. So, you can make this Washi Tape Letter for less than $4.00. 

Materials


Wood letter
Washi tape
Scissors (or a X-acto Knife)


Photo Tutorial



Step by Step


Step 1: start covering the letter with the washi tape.


Step 2: do not cut the tape at the middle, keep covering the letter until the end. That way, the design won't get mess up. (It all depends on the washi tape design).


Step 3: keep covering the letter with the washi tape. Be sure to follow the tape design.


Step 4: cover the entire letter with the washi tape, as shown in the photo.


Step 5: turn the letter around and cut the excess of the washi tape.


The Results



You can hang your Washi Tape Letter at your bedroom door...


You can place it on you night table, or on your desk!


Did you like it? I made this letter for my bedroom door but now, both of my sisters want one for their doors :)

Now, for the Washi Tape Key Covers, you just need washi tapes and a X-acto Knife. Follow the same steps as for the letter but, you need to cover the key on both sides. You need to do one side first, and then the other one.


Did you liked these DIY's? Are you also addicted to washi tape? Share with me your washi tape projects! I would love to keep making projects with those beautiful tapes :)

    1. Thanks Cassie!! Lol. Actually, it was very simple to do. The hardest part was cutting the excess of the washi tape with scissors. If you use a X-acto knife, it will be easier. Let me know if you try it :)

  4. I never really heard of washi tape but now I need to hunt for it. I definitely need to do the key one because many of our keys look the same and this would be super helpful!
