Home made decorative paper tape


I love the printed washi tapes, but I can't afford 'em. Oh but I have some plain masking tape. Hmmmm.

I laid some strips of the masking tape (in two colors) along some release paper left over from stickers. I tend to keep these in order to make home made glue dots with my Best Glue Ever.


Then, for good measure, I pre-treated with a light dusting of the Perfect Crafting Pouch to make the ink cling.


I clustered a bunch of tiny cling stamps (Just Rite Stamps) together and stamped once with brown archival dye ink from Colorbox.


Then I stamped again with another detailed scroll type of stamp in black dye ink.

What...wait...am I done? Already?
Why, yes, yes I am.


And here are the easiest chipboard tags ever, because I had these chipboard and corrugated card shapes already. Inked, taped, stamped, a single jewel placed with my Embellie Gellie, some yarn.

Literally 45 minutes, and only so long because I stopped to take photos.

Great post. I am going to try the same thing with some paper tape I picked up in the first aid section of the local pharmacy. Love your tags~

Susie, first aid paper tape - genius! Fabric first aid tape might work too, especially with the Pouch - like printed gaffer's tape.

Shaman Spider Woman Bead Head Doll

This is the Shaman/Spider Woman doll I made as a very special wedding gift. I wanted to invoke the Native American connection to their wedding ceremony . Many of the items for the charms and trim are from vintage jewelry including a Kokopelli pin and road runner turquoise earrings that were my mother's. Some of the beads were new purchases, others from vintage necklaces taken apart. Many of the fabrics used in the patchwork over robe were given to me by my mother-in-law. She has a huge collection of different vintage fabrics that she has collected over the last 40+ years in her travels. I combined upholstery fabrics with antique embroideries, printed Indian silks and quilting cottons, including small scale liberty prints. My daughter contributed a lot of her design talents to the project. It was she who designed the tattoos for the doll's cheeks. She also chose the yarn combination for the hair, to coordinate with the robes. She sewed the little felt bag for the Kokopelli , a ...
