Washi Tape Picture Frame with Duck Brand Crafting Tape
Washi tape is one of my favorite crafting materials because it's fun, easy to use and comes in a number of different colors and patterns from Duck Brand Crafting Tape. Here, I've taken a plain white frame and covered it in two kinds of washi tape — a striped and a floral — to create a border that complements the picture inside. It's a simple and inexpensive way to liven up your home decor.

Step 1

You'll need scissors, two (or more) different kinds of washi tape in whatever colors and patterns you prefer, and a picture frame.

Step 2

Wrap and cut the tape to fit around the frame, alternating colors or patterns.

Step 3

Be sure to cover any part of the frame that will be exposed, not just the front. And don't worry about making mistakes — one of the best things about washi tape is that it comes off without a fuss!

Step 4

The corners can get a bit tricky, especially if you want all four of them to be the same color or pattern. You can cheat by trimming the tape lengthwise so you get the right fit.

Step 5

Such is the power of washi tape that when you're finished with your project, your new picture frame looks like you bought it that way!
