Upcycled Project: Washi Tape Organizer

, , , , , ,
A few weeks ago I was a thriften when I spotted this coffee mug tree holder for $2 buckaroos.
Right away I knew it would be the perfect way to organize
my rolls of washi tape that I've been collecting.
 
But I didn't want to be a Boring Betty {apologies to any "Bettys" out there} and just paint the wooden
tree holder, slap on my rolls of tape, and leave it at that.
No, no I had BIG dreams for this lil' guy I just didn't know what they were.
Then I remembered how much I always drool over the stamping projects that Jaime of the
See examples here, here, and here.
Salivating aren't you?
Double bonus was that I just recently purchased a set of stamps
from Pick Your Plum that I hadn't had a chance to use yet so I busted those bad boys out!

 
 
 

Within a few minutes I had a new inspirational and
functional little organizer for my pretty rolls of tape.

Fourth of July: DIY Washi Tape Planter Stakes {You'll Never Look At BBQ The Same Way Again!}

, , , , , , , ,
What do you get when you cross a bbq fork with a roll of washi tape? Why, of course DIY Plant Stakes, silly!



What do you get when you cross a bbq fork with a roll of washi tape?
 Why, of course planter stakes, silly. 
Looking for some easy planter or garden decor?
Pick up some glass votive holders and BBQ forks from your local Dollar Store.
After wrapping the bases of the forks with some fun & colorful washi tape (find here)
adhere them to the bottoms of your glass candle holders with a dab of E-600 glue.
Once dry, place your stakes in your pots or gardens and
WALLAH!
Instant outdoor decor.
Light the candles at night for a little ambiance {you'll have to imagine these lit at night because apparently taking pics in the dark of a dancing flame is harder than lassoing up a spider.}
I also recommend not leaving the candles out during the daytime unless you want a waxy hot mess on your hands, unless you're looking for a free paraffin treatment to soften up those digits then in that case, wax away my friend.

Don't mind that dead grass there in the background. We haven't had rain here since like 1982.

Wishing everyone a delightful 4th of July!!!

January's Crush of the Month: Washi Tape Projects

, ,

It's time to wrap up the first month of 2012 & with that comes another "Crush of the Month!" So what am I swooning over now? Japanese washi tape! Seriously, how can you not love this decorative paper tape? It's like masking tape at its finest. It comes in an assortment of pattern & colors & is extremely easy to use.  Washi tape has gained popularity among the crafty world & that's because there's a bajillion things you can do with it. Here's a round up of a few of my favorite washi tape projects & sellers {color coordinated of course for your viewing pleasure}:



Aren't they all fantastic? Up until this point I have allowed myself to buy one, JUST ONE, roll of washi tape but I'm afraid this is an addiction waiting to happen.

So what are you crushing on lately?
