How to make a washi tape bow
by Kami Bigler posted in Life & Home
Can you believe that we have now entered the big Christmas countdown"! December seems to just fly by, don?t you think" It's time to think about those little neighbor/teacher/friend gifts that you need to have multiples of.
Here?s a fun way to close off a food gift, if you plan on making a sweet treat for a friend, neighbor or coworker. By using a natural wooden clothespin, this washi tape bow can be re-used again and again. You could even adhere a magnet along the back of the clothespin so it can hold up photos on the fridge during the holidays.
Here?s what you?ll need to make a simple washi tape bow:
? Washi Tape (in assorted colors)
? fine tip scissors
? heavy duty glue dots
? a ruler
? natural wood clothespins
? clear cellophane bags
? candy or a homemade treat
Directions:
Using your ruler, cut three different lengths of washi tape to make one bow: Large 16 inches ? Medium 8 inches ? Small 1 inch. The longest length will make the main piece of the bow looping in on itself, the medium piece will be the back of the bow with the ends notched out and the smallest length will be the center piece holding the two bigger pieces together.
Fold the longest length of washi tape in half and tape sticky side to sticky side to itself creating now one 8-inch length piece with no sticky sides exposed.
Repeat the step above with the medium length piece so now that length is 4 inches with no sticky sides exposed.
Take the long piece ...
