DIY- Washi tape light switch cover





  •  Washi tape
  • X-acto knife
  • sandpaper (Optional)
  • mod podge and brush
  • embellishments (optional)


 1. Add strips of washi tape on the whole surface of your light switch cover. Start on the edges, leaving half of your tape hang off the edge. This will ensure it is easier to cover any round corners you have.


 2. Once you have the front covered, turn it on its back and either pull back the excess tape or sand it off.

3. Next, with your knife, cut out the middle. It is easier to cut if you only have one piece of washi tape covering the hole.


4. Lastly, you want to apply mod podge to the front. This will seal the washi tape. You want to add at least two coats.

5. Once it is all dry, just push your screws threw the tape CAREFULLY. I didn't have a problem with ripping, but if you do, place en embellishment over, or a bit more tape. 


THE FINISHED PRODUCT:
 Once I had it back in its place, I added a bow and a rhinestone to the screws with tacky glue.





Hope you enjoy this tutorial and if you try it out I would love to see a picture!

DIY- Washi tape earrings

Hey guys! I a really sorry this post did not go up on Thursday. :( I had to work that day and well i came home exhausted from the 13 hour shift. Hopefully this will be the last week I work so much because I have many DIYs for you!
BUT without further ado; I wills how you how I made these really cute washi tape earrings!




  •  washi tape
  • earring back
  • glue (E600 or crazy glue)
  • Modge Podge Dimensional Magic
  • small wood blank


I didn't take many pictures of the process because it is so easy to do.

  1. Lightly coat your wood blank with glue and stick on the washi tape. the glue will hold the washi tape down as the dimensional magic dries

 The design i wanted was too small so i added solid colored washi tape to the top and bottom edge.
2. When the glue is dry, add a layer of the dimensinal magic.  Make sure there are no bubbles!
if you spot any, blow on then with a straw or poke them with a safety pin/needle. Allow to dry completely, about 12 hours.


3. Once dry, apply the earring back with a bit of glue and you are done!



Wasn't that quick and simple? Imagine all the possibilities! I have made many pairs with different patterns and let me tell you, not only are they cute but one of a kind! These would be cute for gifts too.

I hope you guys try this one, if you do send me a picture!!
Until next time!!!
