Homemade Washi Tape and Spoiler Alert - My ATCs

I watched a few tutorials on Pinterest for making your own Washi tape and was dying to try it myself so I picked up some tissue paper in a variety of colours, cut them into strips, stamped a background polka dot stamp onto each of them with a coordinating colour and then applied my SookWang tape to the tissue paper. I then trimmed the tissue paper to the edge of the SookWang double sided tape and wrapped them around these wooden spools that my mother-in-law gave me. I knew they would come in handy one day! I love the bright colours and can't wait to use them on my projects!

If you're in the ATC swap with me, and wish to keep it a surprise, you may not want to scroll down further. Just sayin...


Here is my finished ATC card for my swap. I wanted to do something that currently reflected what I am loving most right now, so I decided to do a little mixed media ATC. I hope the Paper Dolls will like them.
