"Mummy, where's the tape"? I think I hear this question 25 times every day. I'm not sure if you've found this but kids are addicted to tape like I am addicted to coffee. I could drink it all day and they could stick, wind up, bind and hang tape just as often.
Washi tape used to be off limits to the kids in our house, but then I thought why just look at it in all it's prettiness on a shelf in my studio when I can have it all over the house? It also doesn't need scissors to cut and peels off walls without taking paint off too. What could be better?
Yesterday we made a birthday card for R + M's grandmother using washi tape, oil pastels and, of course, our current fave - glitter! Make a simple design with the washi tape on paper or card stock.
(I did put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the cards when they were dry to seal the glitter on to the page).
Going in the mail today! Late, but not forgotten, dear B.
blog looking good Jo. i'm excited to watch it develop. and to get art & craft inspiration from you. i dont feel like i do much messy craft with my kids these days. so your blog is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit frightened of glitter ... once it's out - it's everywhere! Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Kellie. I was a little scared of it when we first started using it, but I usually do our projects in a tray of some sort (future post there) and that really contains it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Much appreciated.
