Hot Chocolate Jar

 Another way I found to use my Washi Tape!! I needed a 'cute' hot chocolate jar so I began to ponder what I might use. After browsing my closets and storage area, I decided on a wide-mouthed jar. But it definitely needed to be decorated. I thought about putting a strip of patterned paper around the jar then a light bulb came on!! Washi Tape! Perfect. So I picked several rolls that would coordinate with my kitchen, found a piece of fabric for the lid, and got busy. I used 4 rolls of tape...3 with different prints and a smaller fourth one to separate the others. I printed 'Hot Chocolate   1 T per cup', punched it with a scallop punch, glued it onto the lid and called it 'done'!! I love the way it turned out!

ATG Gun holder - a DIY project

I got so tired of my ATG gun falling over that I began to try to think of something I might use as a stand for it. I was preparing dinner, used the last of my processed cheese and was ready to discard the box to the recycle bin when I had a sudden 'creative moment'!! I'm always looking for ways to use my Washi tape so I created an ATG gun stand!

 I started with my empty Nice 'n Cheesy box.

The only other supplies needed are a selection of Washi tapes, a craft knife (for cutting the notch out of the box), and scissors.

I decided to do a diagonal pattern with a variety of tapes, but you could do it any way that you wanted. I have found that Washi tape tends to pop up on the ends, so I secured the ends with some clear tape because I knew I'd be pulling my ATG in and out of the box often. But this works perfect for me...I'm so pleased with it.
