These DIY Washi Tape Ornaments are some of my favorites because they’re so colorful and easy to customize simply by choosing different tape. Now there’s no reason to resist that washi tape clearance bin when you’re at the craft store!

Like my Mason Jar Lid Fabric Ornaments, these are easy to customize by choosing washi tape in different colors and patterns. Other than the tape, the only adornments you need are strands of ribbon.

I just LOVE homemade ornaments. Not only are they unique since you can make them in the colors, patterns, and designs that you like best — but each year when you hang them on the tree, you’ll have the memory of making them or the person who made them for you.
That’s why I like to make them with the kids and why I also like to give them as gifts or as embellishments to gifts. It adds a little something special to the wrapping and creates a special connection between you and recipient (assuming they keep the ornament, that is!).

How to Make a Washi Tape Ornament
Pull out your crafting supplies and let’s get to work! Don’t worry, these won’t take long.
Supplies Needed
- Styrofoam ball(s)
- Washi tape
- T pins (You can also use floral pins)
- Ribbon or twine
- Glue Gun

Directions
First, grab a Styrofoam ball and some washi tape. Stick one end of the washi tape to the ball, then wrap it around the perimeter until you’ve reached the spot where you began. Tear off the tape.

Keep doing this with new strips of tape until you’ve covered the entire ball.
Then, plug in your glue gun and get the ribbon.

Cut a strip of ribbon to create a loop (this is how we’ll hang the ornament from the tree). Use a T to attach the ribbon to the top of the ball.

Then, cut another longer strip of ribbon and tie a bow. Use the glue gun to attach the bow to the top of the ornament and cover the floral pin.

Your ornament is ready to hang on the tree or attach to a gift as a festive decoration!
