Hiya, Daisycorn here!
So you may have read my last Washi tape DIY ( http://unicornasaurus.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/diy-with-washi-tape-1.html ) this time around, I'll be teaching you a really: simple, cute and effective way to design and create beautiful greetings cards to give to friends and family on any occasion. You could even use this method to make a "thank you" card for your favourite teachers, as it is approaching the end of the school year.
Equipment:
-Plain card
-washi tape
-printer paper
-gel pens and sparkly things (optional)
Method:
1| Print or draw out a basic shape onto the the printer paper. This will later be the design on your card. DO NOT CUT OUT THE IMAGE!
2| Cover the picture in alternate strips of Washi tape. Do this on the back of the printer paper so that you can still see what the shape is meant to look like. Also only cover the part of the paper that you're using so that you don't waste your tape.
3| Now carefully cut out the shape.
4| Stick the design onto the card- so that only the Washi side is showing. You could experiment with where you place the design.
5| You could now extend the design be adding details in gel pen or other decorative extras. In the image above, I places rhinestones down the body of the butterfly and at the top of the antenna's- which I drew on in gel pen. If you placed the design in the corner, you might decide to write the person's name in the centre of the card using glitter glue or stickers.
6| repeat the process on other cards so that you have an emergency stack, ready for any event!
I hope you have fun presenting your very own cards to the special people in your life!
