There’s a bit of a washi tape craze going around and when the Australian dollar was great last year I jumped straight on the bandwagon and bought myself a delicious box of bright coloured Japanese washi tape from Happy Tape. I loved the crafty, homemade look of this letter design I made up and it’s quite basic so the possibilities to build on this design are endless!

What you’ll need:

Step One

Take a short piece of washi tape (about five centimetres and wrap it around your wire letter.

Step Two

Continue with your assortment of colours and patterns, I was quite random (envisaging a fun carnival coloured wedding!). Continue until you have taped around each letter silhouette. Then simply cut each piece into a point to become a triangle.

Step Three

Tie coloured ribbon across the top of your letter to hang.

For other additions to this project, you could tie string across from one side of the letter to the other, and attach your “bunting” for a really sweet bunting effect. Or spray paint the wire before you attach the tape.
