Fancy Tape Hearts {CRAFT}

Have you even seen fancy ribbon tape or washi tape rolls and not known exactly what they are used for?

Decorative tapes have a variety of uses. Today, I am sharing just one craft idea that requires decorative tape for Valentine’s Day.

Materials Required:

  • cardstock
  • scissors
  • decorative tape
  • pencil

Directions:

  1. Think about the size of heart you would like to make and cut decorative tapes to a slightly larger width than the desired outcome.
  2. Cut a piece of card stock in a rectangle or square shape and stick the tape in rows.
  3. Continue sticking tape down in rows until they cover a square shape.
  4. You know you are finished when the entire piece of card stock is covered.
  5. Trim the edges of your shape.
  6. Fold paper in half (hamburger fold if rectangle) and draw a half heart shape. Cut out the heart shape and voila!

These hearts would make a beautiful Valentine’s Day card on their own or a decoration for a door or wall. You could also punch a small hole in the top, tie a string and hang them as a beautiful decoration. To add even more pizazz, you could make them double sided!
