Are you obsessed with washi tape and looking for more projects to use it on? I have definitely been bit by the washi tape obsession and am constantly looking for creative ways to use it. This past weekend I used it to make some magnets and have included the tutorial below.

The necessary items are simple:

• 1 roll of magnet tape
• Desired Washi Tape
• Fiskars Deckle Scissors
• Normal Scissors

 Directions:

• Cut 6″ of magnet off of the roll
• Peel of the backing
• Place the washi tape onto the sticky side of the magnet
• Use the deckle scissors to cut each end and in the middle (gives a “ripped” look)
• Washi tape is slightly wider than the magnet tape, using normal scissors, slide the blade against the magnet to trim off the excess.
• Enjoy!

Washi tape that is darker in color and doesn’t rely on the background for white works better. For example in the photo below the white in the teal & white damask is printed on to the tape itself whereas the pink tile pattern uses a clear section for its white. Since the magnet is black this clear doesn’t always look right. To fix this problem, you can first place a piece of solid white washi tape then put the pattern piece on top.

And here is the final product!

Let me know if you get a chance to make these yourself and send me your results!
