Washi Tape Ornaments

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!).
