You may be wondering to yourself “whats with the big W”? (btw… can anyone name that movie…. the one where they all try to find the big W?). Well you see I decided to make a Washi Tape Craft to make some decor for my Sewing Room…. and W is the last letter in… sew!
Silly I know….
The kind folks at Scotch sent me a fun package of their new Expressions Tapes to play with! They have over 100 colors of Expressions Tapes in 4 types including Washi tapes, Masking tapes, Packing tape and Magic tape. I decided to combine the great colors and prints from their tapes with some craft letters that I picked up at the store to make some wall art for my Sewing Room. I think that this project would also be a lot of fun for a kids room.
Let me show you how to do it… it was soooo easy! No special tools required just some scissors.
Start by covering the front of your letters with a combination of the tapes. I used both Washi tape and printed masking tape.
Keep the tapes going straight across the letter even if there is a space in the middle. After you’ve covered the entire letter, trim down the tape with your scissors. I chose to leave the sides of my letters natural for pop, but you could easily paint them if you like.
Would you like to play around with some Scotch Expressions tape yourself?
Just leave a comment on this post and tell me what you’d make! You’ll be entered to win a jumbo prize pack of Washi tape! Enter until Midnight Eastern on October 14th. Full giveaway guidelines here.

These look so good.. Would love to use the washi tape to decorate my 2 year old’s room. Thanks!!
I was actually getting ready to do the letter with yarn but realized I didn’t have enough yarn..so washi tape it is..looks a lot easier too!!
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! One of my favorite comedies of all time!
I’m supposed to have a plan for something before I bring it home? Interesting concept!

That is “sew” cute. Now I want to make one for my sewing room. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just purchased a small pkg of tape at Target to make birthday cards…you just put the tape on the card front…cut it…use glitter paint for the candle flame…done!

I would go crazy! I would make these same letters (but a monogram of sorts) for everyone in my family so they could hang on their front doors (what a great Christmas gift!). I would also decorate my sewing room too!
I’d make fun things for my granddaughter’s bedrooms. I have a cardboard shelf that was a display shelf in a store that I would love to make pretty with this tape!
I want to make some letters for my sewing room just like you did — I love big letters and I love washi tapes! I think I’ll spell out “create” to help inspire me.

I would love to win some washi tape. I would make some crafts with the kids with it.
This looks like so much fun! I would finally decorate letters to spell out my daughter’s name and hang them in her room. I also love the idea of using washi tape to decorate some picture frames.
I’d love a chance to win! I’d use the washi tape to tape up stuff (like individual blocks) in my sewing room!
I love your idea…..I would probably make my daughters name in a similar fashion as yourself! Thanks for offering!
Adorable, just adorable!

Ooh. I got a few rolls of this when I was shopping for school supplies. Not sure how it compares to traditional washi tape but I absolutely love it!!

My daughters and I love to do crafts with washi tape!
Oh my…what fun for the kids art projects!
Charming! Love it! I would definitely use it!!
I might dress up some of my sewing room marking pencils. And, I do like what you did with those letters! Thanks for the offer.
I have never used washi tape before but have always thought it would be fun! I would use it for different crafts like decorating clipboards, light switch covers, bookmarks, pencils or clothespins. I would for sure use it on binder clips – they are so pretty with washi tape decorating them! I would also use it on disposable cups when we have the whole family over to mark everyone’s cup differently so they would know which one is theirs. The possibilities are endless…pinterest here I come!
I would love to do one big H for our living room and a C for my sons room.
i would love to make my daughter’s initials for her room!!
My 3-yr-old loves to make art projects with a role of tape and scissor – such focus. This pack would be a big boost to our craft supplies! Thanks for the giveaway
I love using washi for gift wrapping. Love your letters, might have to do that also.
I just made a chalkboard clipboard for my niece and daughter and would love to have some washi tape to cover the rest of the board. it would b so cute!!!
That is so neat looking!
I so LOVE this idea!! Would love to win so I can do this for my sewing studio!!
Very cute! I think I would do exactly what you did with them! Or do my kids’ names. OR, I think it would be really cute also in my kitchen with the word EAT.
Really refreshing colour schemes! I would make letters for my hobby room and I would like to make some for my entrance table for Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. A Welcome would be nice on my post-Christmas wreath on the front door as well! Thanks!
I love what you can do with decorative tape…. who knew?
A picture frame, the front of a journal, oh I could have so much fun! Thanks for chance to win!
I would love to do my granddaughters name for her bedroom. She will love it.
