Tuesday Tip – Printed Tape Embellishments

Posted on May 14, 2013 by MichelleW

Printed Tape (also known as Washi Tape) is very popular at the moment and available in a range of colours, patterns and widths. It’s a great product for making your own scrapbooking embellishments.

Here are two simple embellishments you can make using printed tape and a few other scrapping supplies .

Printed Tape Flags – You will need your favourite Kaisercraft Printed Tape, some toothpicks and scissors.

Step 1: Cut a strip of printed tape (approx 6cm long)

Step 2: Place the toothpick in the centre of the strip of printed tape, fold around the toothpick and stick the ends together (see below). You can use Kaisercraft Ribbon with double sided tape as well!

Step 3: If you like the rectangle / square look, you can leave the printed tape flags as they are. For a different look, try cutting a small triangle out of the end of the tape or making the flags into pennants (see below).

Step 4: Use on the project of your choice

Printed Tape Flower Embellishment – You will need your favourite Kaisercraft Printed Tape; doilie; cardstock; scissors; and a pearl brad.

Step 1: Cut some strips of printed tape in various lengths. Fold the ends into the centre of the strip and stick down. Create as many as you like. For my project I made seven.

Step 2: Organise your strips in any fashion that resembles a flower and you are happy with for your project. Place on top of a crochet doilie and adhere with a pearl brad.

Step 3: For extra effect, add a cardstock circle that has been covered in a contrasting printed tape as the flower centre.

Step 4: Add the flower to your project
