DIY: Washi Tape Photo Frame

Since Gustavo started grad school, I wanted to give him something he could take with him... something special. So when the time came, I gave him a wallet picture of us from 2007- a year after we started dating. Honestly, even though it's a meaningful picture, I wanted to give him something else. So, that's why I decided to make a Washi Tape Photo Frame! I really liked how it turn out so I even made one for myself :) Here's the tutorial...


Materials

Wood frame (or plastic)
Washi tape
X-acto knife (or scissors)
and, your favorite picture ;)


Photo Tutorial


Step by Step

Step 1: you need a wood frame or a plastic one; any of those will work.


Step 2: start covering the photo frame with the washi tape.


Step 3: you can use as many washi tapes as you want! For this frame, I use two designs.



Step 4: alternate the washi tapes until you cover the entire frame.


Step 5: turn the frame around, and use an X-acto knife (or scissors) to cut the excess of the washi tape.


Step 6: here's how your photo frame will look with two washi tape designs.


Remember: you can make a photo frame using just 1 washi tape, or even 4 if you want to.

The Results


This one is mine...


Here's the one I gave to Gustavo...
Since I only use one washi tape design, I decided to add a wooden heart ;)


I also made one for my mom! with a photo of my sisters and I.
I decorated a crystal vase to go with the photo frame :)


and here's the another Washi Tape Photo Frame! with my friends...


This could be a great gift! And you know what? I spent less than $3.00 on each Washi Tape Photo Frame. Awesome, right?! I bought the washi tape at Office Max for $1.00 each, the wood photo frame for $1.14 at Walmart, and the wooden heart for $0.68 at Walmart.

What do you think? Do you like it? I will definitely make more of these!

The Mrs Carter Show {Beyonce's Concert!}

Oh. Em. Gee...

I couldn't believe it when Beyonce announced she was bringing The Mrs Carter Show to Puerto Rico! As soon as we knew the concert's date, we got ready to buy the tickets. It was the first concert from Beyonce here--so we couldn't miss it :) I can honestly say we couldn't sleep the night before. Lol.

I wanted to share some photos from the concert so, here they are!

 Full house!!

Beyonce was AMAZING! I screamed, sang, and dance like crazy!

Beyonce with Puerto Rico's flag-- love this photo!


Gustavo and I had a great time. It was an awesome weekend!

Remember when I wrote about Tommy Torres Concert? Yeah, I love attending concerts! What about you? Do you love concerts?
