Transform a paper tag into a work of art with washi tape. #DIYCrafts #WashiTapeCrafts #GiftTags #CreativeGifting

with washi tape

Adding a personalized touch to gifts or craft projects can truly make them stand out. One way to achieve this is by creating your own paper tags using washi tape. Just a few rolls of washi tape that color coordinates and you can quickly decorate a paper tag.

Video Tutorial:

When you’re in the mood for some creative crafting, grab your washi tape and cardstock, and let your imagination run wild!

Tag it Tuesday

A new series of mixed media tags called “Tag it Tuesday!” #tagitTuesday

I am starting a new series I am calling “Tag it Tuesday.” Using a variety of different materials and mediums, a tag will be created. It’s a fun way to get our creative juices flowing. A tag isn’t too large of a project – something quick and easy to try out new ideas.

Tag Tutorial Video:

If you follow my other posts you will see that this project uses a variety of different materials from past posts. The tea cup is from a Cricut Cut n Paste tutorial and the word is from Die Cutting a Box.

I’d love for you to join along and make your own tags, and if you do, remember to tag the project with this hashtag #tagitTuesday.
