A couple of sundays ago I wanted to make something easy, without needing
lots of supplies and without making a big mess. I thought it might be
fun to make some postcards.

What you'll need:
- Paper the size of a postcard, I used kraftpaper
- washi tape, in different colours
- a black fineliner
- scissors
- a ruler (this one's an old souvenir granny got me from Germany over 20 years ago)

Start by sticking washitape to your paper, don't worry if you tape the paper to your workspace. This might even work in your advantage when you start the drawing part of this DIY :-)

Make stripes above and underneath the tape, using your ruler

Make diagonal stripes, or any other pattern that floats your boat. I didn't use my ruler for this part.

Peel your card of the table and cut off the washi tape.

Make rounded edges using a roll of tape, pen, and scissors

I always try to find cool washi tape projects, I promised myself to get some new ones soon!

ReplyDeleteI also think doodling is a very relaxing thing to do :-) I need to doodle some more!
DeleteO nice!! Easy DIY's are the best!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I love it when you don't need lots of supplies
DeleteLooks great! I like the ruler :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! One might say the ruler rules ;-)

ReplyDeleteTape is one of my favourite supplies!
DeleteVery nice and easy. I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteyes!!! That is so easy and it looks so nice! I have had a DIY sitting on my work table for about a week. One of these days I'm going to get to it.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the result! I really loved the dress you made for yourself.
DeleteSo brilliant and it looks beautiful:) Happy Wednesday, darling. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana!
DeleteThis is so cute! I've made a couple of cards using washi tape and it's really fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paige! One of the things I love about tape projects is that they are quite easy to make and usually don't make a big mess.
DeleteI love this! I've never used that stuff before but I've seen it at the stores. Maybe I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWatch out, you might want to stick this stuff on everything!

Thank you!
DeleteThat is too cool! I love the designs you drew between the pieces of tape.
ReplyDeleteI love doodling, for some reason I find it very relaxing :-)
DeleteThanks Mia, and I'd love to see what you guys create, if you decide to make these!
ReplyDeleteHet resultaat is echt super gaaf! Bij de Hema zie ik altijd al die creatieve spulletjes en dan wil ik alles kopen, maar ik weet niet zo goed wat ik ermee moet doen.
ReplyDeleteKaarten maken bijvoorbeeld! Op Pinterest staan ook altijd veel crea-bea projectjes met washi tape. En de Hema heeft inderdaad veel leuke spulletjes. Ik woon er tegenover, erg gevaarlijk!
DeleteThis is pretty! I might actually do this for the next set of postcards I send out! I've definitely some leftover washi tape that I might want to use up. :)
