Washi tape.. Part 2

Next week we will be heading to conference in Zwolle.. It is always such an amazing time of fellowship and awesome preaching and so I am REALLY looking forward to it! This will be our first time traveling with Jason.. and even though its not that far from home we will be staying there the whole week. [I just started making my packing list... man he uses a lot of stuff for such a little person!!]

But anyhoo.. One really nice treat of conference is that they have nursery for the babies during all the services.. I am hoping he will do well since he isn't really used to that.. but I also really appreciate the ladies who will be watching him! So I decided to make some little presents to let them know how much it means to us!

I decided chocolate was a safe bet since most people like it but I still wanted to do something more special than just hand them a chocolate bar.. so I decided it was time for more washi tape! :)

I just used simple printer paper and the tape... but I think the effect is kind of fun! what do you think?

just getting ready makes me really excited for conference!

hope you have a wonderful day!

Washi Tape.. part 1

Since Jason has been born time I get on pinterest or blogs is really a treat but thankfully he is getting a better nap schedule.. which means I have more time to do my own thing. One thing I have been seeing a lot of all over the place is cool crafts done with washi tape... like these:

decorating craft letters

book marks

jazzing up notebooks

cute cards

tealight candles

and so when I spotted a bunch of cool designs at a euro store here I had to get some and try some things out!

I got all of these for 3 euros! score!

I started with some simple projects... and today I will post the first one.. I decided to decorate a candle for our living room.. I got a simple vanilla candle from the IKEA and this project took me maybe 30 seconds.. here are the results

I decided to do some tealight candles too and I think they came out really cute..

I think they would be cute as gifts and they are super easy to make.. and super affordable which is always a plus!

what do you think?

I will post another craft I did with the tape soon.. but I'm trying to think of even more. Do you have any ideas for me?

I hope you are having a wonderful day! (and that I didn't lead you into too much pintrest temptation!)
