Art Project #31: Washi Tape Votive Holders

We were looking for some cute and easy crafts that Ian would be able to do without the use of his hand, but we wanted something that would be lovely enough for a gift.  I had bought some rolls of Washi tape a few weeks ago thinking we'd use them for a neat crafting project... and then I forgot WHY I had bought them.


Often I buy supplies because of a project we saw that I liked... and just as often by the time I get around to buying the supplies I can't remember what project I saw that I wanted to try out!

So this weekend I went and purchased some tiny, square, glass vases from Michael's craft store.  They came in a kit of three and I thought that would be perfect; one for each boy!

The boys were so excited to start this quick and easy art project but immediately told me that they wanted to keep them for themselves.  I told them that their craft project was theirs to keep or give away; it's always up to them.

They started by wrapping the tape up, down and around the sides of their vase.  They used scissors to cut the tape when they needed and made sure to go back over all the tape pressing down to make sure all the bubbles were gone.





They kept wrapping until they were happy with their design; making sure to leave spaces here and there for the light to shine through. 





When they were finished wrapping the tape all around and were happy with their designs we put an electric tea light inside and checked them out.



This was such a quick and easy project and the boys enjoyed it a lot.  It was the perfect addition to our 100 Days of Art Challenge!

    1. We had never bought any either and I have to say all 6 rolls had a slightly different texture...I still have no idea why it's called Washi though. My youngest kept asking me if that meant we could wash it. I'm pretty sure any amount of water would make the tape fall off though.
