Decorating regular binder clips with masking tape is an easy and subtle way to fancy up your daily life at work, college, or school. We went for a two-tape design, simply wrapping around each strip around the entire clip. That can easily be fixed with a paper cutter! To make the tape narrower, we simply split a long strip in half with a regular scissor.
We used a transparent, soft case and broad washi tape specially made for interior use, but any kind of washi tape will do. Every picnic and barbecue can be fancied up a notch with this simple design. Whether you cover the back as well or just have time for the front is entirely up to you.
Washi tape transforms every toothpick into an adorable little flag — this easy, quick tip is not just perfect for fancying up snacks but for basically any kind of decoration you can think of! Tape a strip of tape, place the pick in the middle and press it down, then fold the tape over.
Mason jars are a great choice when it comes to decorative storage and, of course, they look even better with a bit of washi tape! In our case, a single strip of tape wrapped around the glass, decorated with a very narrow second tape, makes for a simple but cute design. One of our absolute favorite washi tape DIY ideas is decorating your keyboard. There are several ways to do this.
You can either trace the shape of your keys and cut the tape before sticking it on or do it like we did and first put the washi tape on a key and cut it into the proper shape with a paper cutter. Another method is to stick the tape on, push on the key with a ruler and rip the tape off, smoothing the edges later as desired.
This project takes time, admittedly, but the outcome is simply fabulous! Whether you go for one color or prefer a fun, scrambled-style mix of different keys is entirely up to you! Cable clutter is an unfortunate byproduct of owning lots of devices that all require a different charger.
Phone, laptop, tablet, you get it. Washi tape transforms a bland adhesive bandage into a fashion accessory! There are special washi tape varieties on sale specifically for walls, windows, or surfaces like shower doors. But really, from chairs to dressers, walls to kitchen tiles, let your creativity run free! From interior decoration to little things such as gift bags and bookmarks, the versatility of washi tape is astounding. Image: Michaels. Image: Joann Fabrics and Crafts.
OK, so you have your washi tape in hand, but now, what are you supposed to do with it? For the craft challenged, we suggest you go to Pinterest and never look back.
Wrap a gift in simple wrapping paper — white or brown kraft paper works great — then go to town using washi tape in the same way you would use ribbon. Many washi tapes are quite transparent, so you can use a little tag of tape to draw attention to important dates. Try putting down a piece of the tape, then use a permanent pen to write on top of it. Your calendar is about to get a serious upgrade.
Most washi tapes are acid-free, so they work well for this particular craft. We know we hardly have to tell you how you can put it to work when making books to hold memories, so get to it! For more DIY inspo, check out how you can flex your interior designer muscle below.

Hi Mileena! We love that idea! Washi tape comes in all sorts of patterns and colors that you could mix and match to personalize your walker to you!

Will it adhere properly. Hi Lynne! We love the idea of using washi tape as decorative trim for craft projects. Hi Betty! Great question! Washi tape is thin yet durable. You can definitely paint on it for decorative purposes, but for anything heavy duty, we recommend a stronger, industrial tape.
Hi Leigh! What an awesome DIY idea. Washi tape can easily stick on many surfaces like wood, plastic, and metal and can be easily removed without causing damage. Before applying, we recommend cleaning and drying the surface fully. I work in a hospital and need something that I can place around wires to mark where they go.
I also need something that can withstand being wiped down frequently with hospital grade wipes. Will this work? Hi Cody! While washi tape can stick to many surfaces, it does have a thin body that is best suited for crafts or decorative purposes. For your applications, you may want to try a tape that is a little more durable and designed more for warning or boundary applications like Floor Marking Tape.
