Birthday Favor/Gift with Washi!

A big Hello to all you Washi fans out there!

Stacey here today to show you a super simple favor box that I created and no patterned paper was used, only that gorgeous Washi tape from Love My Tapes. 

The tapes I used on my project are:

Lime with White Polka Dots

&

Pink Chevron

Here is my project:

After the bag was decorated, I wrapped each piece of chocolate with a piece of white cardstock and then more Washi.

I think these would make the perfect little party favors or even a simple but cute birthday gift for a co worker, neighbor, etc. 

Thank you all so much for stopping by!

Pretty gift bags in a flash

Happy Friday! I hope you are stopping by to get some inspiration for crafty projects to work on over the weekend.  If so I, Jaclyn, have just the idea for you.  It's a quick, easy and beautiful way to dress up your gifts for the holidays. 

The supplies are simple and probably things you already have on hand:

plain kraft gift bags (I purchased mine at the dollar store - 4 for $1.00!)
glitter adhesive-backed cardstock
premade tags
coordinating washi tape
ribbon/twine
additional embellishments, you wish to add.

The first step is to create a glittery banner backdrop for each gift bag.  I cut a strip of LMT's glitter adhesive cardstock to 3"x6", notching the bottom edge.  Once cut, the chunky banner easily and securely adheres to the front of the bag.

 

 

The 'tags' I used are cut from a stack of Die Cuts with a View patterned papers.  I dressed them up with a few pearls, strips of coordinating washi tape, and a punched hole for adhering.  Ribbon and twine provide just the right finishing touch.

 

If you are embellishing more than gift bags this weekend, check out my previous posts here and here for ideas for dressing up baked goods and pillow boxes.  All of these examples can be customized for the occasion!

Quick gift bag and gift tag with washi tape

Hello Love My Tapes fans! This is Maya and today I am going to share a quick gift bag and gift tag made with washi tape.

I bought a simple kraft gift bag from a craft store and decided to give it a personal touch. I used washi tape to spell "thank you" on the bag.

I didn't go for perfection here but wanted it to look cute and handmade.

 I used the same washi tape to make the flower by folding strips of washi tape, snipping the edges and and layering them in a rosette shape . I added another piece of roses and gold washi tapes to the bottom of the tag and sprinkled few sequins.

I used a piece of twine to tied the tag to the the bag handle. I will write a personal message on the back of the tag.

That's it! Quick and simple, perfect for end of school gifts or graduation gifts. 
Thank you for stopping by today!
