Washi Tape DIY Stickers

Washi Tape DIY Stickers

I am so excited to be part of the 31 Days of Love Series on Red Ted Art. And can’t wait to share this Valentines Card DIY Idea with you. Thank you Maggy for including me. My name is Jacinta and I am an Australian based Scientist and Mama of three, hoping to inspire creative kids and fun mums, families and educators. I post easy, simple and fun projects on my Instagram page @cintaandco (my family and friends call me Cinta โ€“ short for Jacinta, and my kids are my co. โ€“ you will often see their little hands hard at work in the photos that I post). Today I want to share some adorable little Washi Tape DIY Stickers. They are SO easy to make and lots of fun to use!

We LOVE washi tape in our house. It is super easy for children to use as it can be simply torn rather than requiring scissors to cut, and is quite forgiving if you make an error as it can generally be easily separated from paper without tearing. We use washi tape in all sorts of craft activities. Most recently, my eight year old son even decorated his cricket bat with lines of colourful tape! Today, we made some really fabulous heart shaped washi tape stickers. These stickers are bright and colourful, and could be used for many purposes including the decoration of handmade cards and personalising gift wrapping.

Tear a piece of baking paper and tape it to a flat surface. Trace around your stencil with grey lead pencil. We found that the pencil marks the paper easily and doesnโ€™t smudge. We used a heart shaped stencil for this step. You are not limited to heart shapes though, you could use any shape that you like.

Once you have marked out your shapes, start sticking your washi tape over the shape outline. Start at the top of your shape, and ensure that each new line of tape over laps the previous line by approximately 2-3mm.

Once you have completely covered your stencilled shape, turn the baking paper over and cut along your stencilled line. You will now be able to peel back the washi tape layer, separating it from the baking paper, and will have a beautiful handmade sticker that you can use to decorate cards, wrapping paper, letters โ€“ anything at all.

Here are some examples of how we used our stickers. We pasted them onto coloured paper and made cute letters, we decorated gift boxes and made some lovely cards. The use of the stickers and the actual stickers that you can now make is limitless!

HEART COLOUR MATCH || a fun and colourful painting activity for today. I printed a sheet of paper filled with coloured hearts and the girls painted the hearts with the matching colour. You could easily hand draw the hearts, and they could be coloured with pencils, crayons or textas. You could even change the hearts to different shapes. This activity could also be great scissor practise, by snipping around the edge of the shapes ?? Thank you for the inspiration @lemondedecarla
