HOW TO: Washi Tape Bow Paper Clip

Another easy way to use up your washi tape stash! [or an excuse to go buy more!]






This week I'll show you how to make this super adorable bow clip. You can use your favorite washi tapes to match your layouts!

Here is how its done!






Steps

1. You will need paperclips, two types of washi tape [one thick one thin] and scissors.

2. Fold both ends of the thick washi tape towards the middle evenly.

3. You will end up with a M shape [or W] 

4. Cut round corners towards the middle but don't cut it in half.

5.Use the thinner tape [i switched out the printed tape so you can see more clearly] to hold both the bow and paperclip in place. Enclose it in tape several times to secure it.

6. Completed!

Any questions? Just let me know!

p.s The journal layout above features out Sakura TN sticker insert. Have you checked it out? Shop on our Etsy store!

HOW TO: Washi Tape Twist Ties

Another easy tutorial to help you use up your washi tape stash (I know you have one XD)

Today, we are going to use them to make twist ties!

What you will need: wire, washi tape (and whatever you need to use your twist tie for.)






Cut a suitable length of wire and the same amount of washi tape. 

Lay the wire in the middle of the washi tape length wise.

Flip it over.  Cut the same amount of washi tape and repeat the step before.






To mix things up, you can use a different print piece of washi tape!






Perfect for little gift bags! 

Let us know in the comments how you go with this tutorial and what you do with your twist ties!

HOW TO: Make photo corners from washi masking tape

If you are like me, you probably have a lot of washi tape. I'm not going to say too much because there is no such thing *laugh* But if you are feeling a little guilty about your collection, here is a new way to start using them!

Make photo corners from them!






 

What you'll need:






Tip: Start off with around 10cm worth of tape [Or 4inches for you non metric folks ^^]











And that's it! The back of it is already sticky so its ready for use in your scrapbooks, journals and wherever you can think of!






Naturally its perfect in your TN layout too!






The Masking Tape + Stickers used in this layout is from our March subscription box! See here! [or our etsy store here]

HOW TO: Print photo stickers using the Labelyasan app.

My review for these stickers are here.

This app is iOS only (unfortunately). The sticker paper is available for sale here. You will also need an airprint enabled printer. 

Download the app here. 

I've covered basic usage in the review. Here, I'll guide you through the extremely easy to use app. It's in Japanese but I've translated all the buttons for this guide.

Later in the app, you'll be given a chance to save before printing so you don't have to finish editing in one go. When you launch the app, you'll see this page.
