Washi Tape Wall Art Is An Easy Home Decor Project

I’m excited about today’s Washi Tape Craft because it’s not only a fun and easy wall decor project, but I have teamed up with Michaels to let you know about their Craft it Forward project!

In honor of Random Acts of Kindness, I hope to inspire others to “craft it forward”.  I had a blast making this washi tape wall art home decor and giving them away.

This is such an easy and pretty craft! I am always in need of something to fill a space on a wall in my home. Knowing this was a craft I was to giveaway, I chose wall art.

After deciding on a few friends who I knew would like to be surprised with some DIY art, I headed to Michaels to let my creativity flow! I wanted to do something with canvas and really happy with the way it turned out!

HOW TO MAKE WASHI TAPE WALL ART

What you will need:

  • Canvas (These were on sale at Michaels when I was shopping. Score!)
  • Acrylic Paint – I chose Martha Stewart’s Metallic Paint in shades of gold and silver.
  • Wooden Letters
  • Washi Tape – I used several patterns from Michaels and a few from Pebbles
  • Paint Brush
  • Hot Glue
  • Mod Podge

Paint The Canvas with Acrylic Paint

Before I started crafting, I painting swatches on a test canvas to make sure the paint looked good with my tape patterns.

Add Washi Tape to Wooden Letters

After painting your canvas, let it dry and move onto the wooden letters. I didn’t paint the letters, but just started adding tape. It was really easy. The hardest part was deciding what patterns to use!

Coat the Letters with Mod Podge

Mod Podge will seal the tape and make sure it doesn’t peel off. I used Super Gloss Mod Podge because I liked the shine it gave the tape.

After the canvas is dry, hot glue the wooden letters to the canvas. You can frame the canvas or add tape around the sides. Then you’re all done!

I hot glued a cute party favor bag to the back of the canvas along with a note and gift card to Micheals, then delivered these to my friends encouraging them to Craft it Forward!

  17. I would love to make this project !! What a great idea ! I have several girlfriends that would love to see their initals made into art. Great idea !! Thank you for a chance to win..

  19. I would craft some sort of decor items for my kid’s school’s prom this year. The leadership team and asb works really hard to come up with awesome prom ideas on a tiny budget & this would be a nice way to reward them for all of their hard work!

  24. I like to print photos of my friend’s children and add magnet paper to them so they can instantly enjoy the picture on their file cabinet, refrigerator, etc.

  28. I would make a collage of birds and scripture for someone at church. I led a women’s retreat for them last weekend and they showed me such love and appreciation.

  30. I tweeted, facebooked, and pinned. I really like that C for two reasons. One being those colors look so good together and the other it is the initial of my last name.

  33. I would make a letter each for my girls to hang in their rooms. This is such a wonderful idea and I love washi tape.

  34. Oh I just LOVE the Washi Tape Wall Art. LOVE the “S” letter because our last name starts with “S.”

  39. I would make a printable to decorate with washi tape, and frame it to give away. Looks fun to play with!

  40. My friend just moved in to a new home and this letter craft would be a great touch in her kids room. She is pregnant now and doesn’t have time to finish decorating.

  41. I make cards, but I’m also headed to Michael’s to purchase the items to make this with a B!!

  55. I started making crochet squares to drop off at my Michael’s for lap blankets. I am using up some odd amounts of yarn, keeping my hands busy so I’m not mindlessly eating and may be helping keep somebody warm.

  57. Love this idea. And think this will ve my tandom craft of kindness. this would be great as a baby gift for a special friend of mine. Can’t wait to make it for her!!

  70. Would love to do something for my mom…she does so much for me and I want to thank her with my random act of kindness. And she loves the homemade crafts as much as I do.

  71. I LOVE, love, love the monogram idea! and I do believe that a few of my friends would love it if I made one for them!!! thanks for the chance-

  78. I Love the patterned tape! You could put it on a picture frame or memo board! Very cute!

  87. I love Dawn’s idea above! I would most likely crochet something to give away. Maybe make a few quickie baby hats and leave them with a note in the newborn diaper section at Walmart. <3

  91. I am a girl scout Daisy leader and I am going to make these washi tape letters for my girls when our year is over. Instead of covering the whole letter with tape I may add a few photos of our fun times together in scouts so they can have the memories.

  94. That’s just what I recently have done…random act of kindness project for our school’s chorus group. They like to sing at assisted living facilities and they wanted to make a little momento to each saying, “Thank You” for coming out to listen. I heard the request and made up 200 paper dove ornaments. Everyone loved them. The best blessing was making more than the chorus group and teacher smile, the gesture went on to spead the smiles forward to 200 others 🙂

  98. I just loves the moustache and lips that I downloaded from your website and have been copying them and using them for over a month. Smiles for me and others. I just printed a couple of pages for my oldest sister and her family. Trying to collect non-bendy straws,I brought home straws from restaurants lately instead of using them there. I had black and red. It gave them enough for a V-Day celebration. Thanks for sharing the fun. Now I am off to play with Washi Tape items for my stamping group.

  99. I would like to make little post it note holders and a table center piece with wheat grass and butterflies on wires.

  101. Amazingly My families last name begins with G and each of my daughters has married a G so I would love to buy a bunch of G’s and make this Washi Tape craft and craft it forward to each of my girls!

  102. Love this project, thank you! I think I would love to make these for craft-it-forward too! But I also love making fabric market totes and giving them to friends randomly. (Those make great gifts for friends and the environment!)

  103. I am working on some baby projects – I have two friends and a sister who’ve all recently had babies and I LOVE to make baby quilts for them! But after seeing this post – I think I should make them some wall art with the babies initials!!
    I love Michaels and Living Locurto! 🙂 Thanks for inspiring the crafter in me!!

  109. I’ve got a new grandbaby on the way and I’d like to make something for the nursery wall. we are thinking “whale”

  110. I follow on Pinterest an love what you do…you have inspired me to start crafting again..thanks!!! I made Valentine Cards for our shut-ins and Nursing Home members from our Church…I could use the gift card for more projects for our shut – ins and Soldier boxes…
    Thanks again

  111. I just found a cute crochet pattern (free on ravelry) of a house with a cancer ribbon and the word hope. I’d like to make those for the oncology dept.

  112. How awesome is this, Amy! Count me in; I want to win! This washi tape project will be so much fun for my sister-friend and me to do at our next Pinterest party. I think I might make clip boards and matching pens for those teachers who are always having to sign paperwork for me.

  117. I LOVE The gray and yellow and would love to win to do another Random Act of Kindness in paying it forward.

  118. Beaded badge lanyards are really expensive to buy, but so easy to make. I’d use the money to make lanyards for co-workers who wouldn’t normally spend the money on something so pretty for themselves!

  122. I made a V’s Day topiary as I saw on Pinterest for my best friend- took a styrofoam ball and hot-glued candy hearts to it, put a dowel stick in it and put the topiary in a spray painted pink little metal container/pail. She loved it. 🙂

  125. I think I would make something special for Easter so that some of my friends have a new decoration to put out soon! I LOVE the colors of Easter so it would the perfect holiday for me to make something cute!

  126. I would make a cute name craft for my good friend who is having a baby girl. She and her husband have been trying for so long to get pregnant and they finally did. They are so excited!

  130. I have a friend who has recently moved to a new town. She doesn’t know anyone there yet. TO make matters more interesting, two years ago she lost everything she owned in a fire. She’s lived very simply since then, and hasn’t got a lot of girly things to make her apartment pretty.

    I made her four chair slips for her new dining room in a gorgeous floral print as a housewarming gift. they’re actually in the mail to her today headed to their new momma!

    i also made my BFF a new kindle cover with butterflies all over it. She was very instrumental in helping me find personal freedom and also introduced me to my husband 6 year ago. So she also gave my flight. 🙂 It’s in the mail today also.

  131. My six year old son would LOVE to use it (me too) to create Teacher Appreciation gift’s for everyone that is educating him at school. Plus, he LOVES using tape and we have never used Washi tape.

  133. I already did my random acts of kindness by mailing out Valentine cards I made and adding candy and cookies to the package. I received phone calls of thanks in return on Valentine’s Day. It made my day!

  135. I’d let my kids choose something. They are ages 7, 5 & 1. My oldest especially loves going to Michaels. Both the 7 & 5 year old beg me to buy them craft stuff. Sometimes I can and do and other times I can’t. It would bring them a lot of joy to be able to pick a great project to do together.

  138. I am making a Hello Kitty vinyl sticker for a single moms cell phone case. She always loved Hello Kitty as a child but never owned anything. I think as an adult, she deserves it.

  143. I think I’d like to make a sweet friend a decorative Easter pillow this weekend. Thanks for the drawing!

  145. I love the idea with the tape. I would love to make a superman logo using the tape. I would give it to a young lady I know who is turning “16” the beginning of March. Her dad recently left the family and she is having a very difficult time. She is a straight “A” student, is a member of the Utah Swords Academy Fencing Club and recently took first place in fencing for her division. She has been a great help with her siblings while adjusting to the negative change that has taken place her their lives. She “LOVES ” anything super-man related and I thought it would be fun to have her hang this craft in her room. I know she and her mother will both pay it forward!!! They are constantly thinking of others and are involved in many service projects! Thanks!!
