DIY Washi Tape
Equipment
- Brayer or credit card
- Iron
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and iron the fabric before beginning.
- Place the fabric on wax paper and coat with Mod Podge to prevent fraying.
- Tape masking tape onto wax paper and lightly sand the masking tape. You are trying to remove the sheen and make the surface porous so the fabric adheres.
- Brush a light coat of Mod Podge onto the tape.
- Glue fabric on and smooth out with credit card or brayer.
- Let dry and cut out the strips with scissors. Cut the fabric to trim to the edges of the wax paper. You can cut to any size you like.
- To use the washi tape, peel from the wax paper strips.
