Description

Use the popular washi tape and make the simplest christmas trees. Make your trees ornaments, gift tags or hang them on a garland.

Instructions

  1. Small 106122 2f2014 12 08 134209 washi%2btape%2btrees%2b004

    Start with a white piece of card stock and some washi tape. Place a piece of tape on your paper, downwards, thinking it`s the stem of the tree. My tape is about 12 cm long, but you can make the tree any size.

  2. Small 106122 2f2014 12 08 134415 washi%2btape%2btrees%2b005

    Now we add branches to the tree. Start with a short piece of tape on the top.

    add more. Crooked is cool.

    To make the tree an ornament, or into a gift tag, cut around the tape.

  7. Small 106122 2f2014 12 08 134841 washi%2btape%2btrees%2b011

    Punch a hole in the top of the tree.

    Add an eyelet if you want.

  9. Small 106122 2f2014 12 08 134948 washi%2btape%2btrees%2b013

    I want to hang the tree in my window, so I tied a piece of string trough the hole.

  10. Small 106122 2f2014 12 08 135103 washi%2btape%2btrees%2b014

    Using liquid glue, I decorated my tree with buttons. Use what you have though,- like gems and half pearls.

    Hang it! Make a garland, attach it to a card blank and make a card, embellish your christmas gifts or hang it in your window. Merry christmas :)
