How to washi tape furniture in 3 easy steps

We all love washi tape crafts!  I revamped a his and hers tray in 3 easy steps!

Sometimes I get bored of certain pieces of furniture.  It’s not that they are bad or broken just a bit tired.   What better way to add some life to an item by using washi tape.  It can add texture or a pop of colour (and it’s super addictive!). Here is our easy way of adding some life to a his and hers tray set.

What you will need 

• Podge – I used Zelcraft Tissue Podge,  but you can use any matte podge
• Washi Tape – I used for his tray – Foil 40 Rose Gold Triangles https://cottoncandi.co.za/product/foil-40-rose-gold-triangles/ Foil 38 Rose Gold Solid https://cottoncandi.co.za/product/foil-38-rose-gold-solid/
• For her tray –  626 Pastel Chevron https://cottoncandi.co.za/product/626-pastel-chevron/ and the Rainbow Set|bright the mauve tape https://cottoncandi.co.za/product/rainbow-set-bright/
• Enamel Paint
• Paint brush
• Craft knife

1. First things first…..

I painted the tray and left it to dry completely (I actually left it for about a week before doing the next step)

2. Choose your Favourite Washi Tape

I then stuck the washi tape down. I used a craft knife to cut the ends to ensure a straight line.  If the design layout is not too complicated a small pair scissors will do.

Make sure the washi tape is firmly stuck to the tray. 

3. Time for a little Podge!

After you have completed your design, simply paint the podge over the washi tape.  I only painted the washi tape with the podge, not the entire tray. The podge dries very quickly, you might want to leave it for a day or two before using the tray.

It is as easy as that!
