I'm taking part in the Lovely Package Exchange on Oh, hello friend and have been working on my gifts and wrapping this weekend.
I love all the pretty Japanese tapes on Etsy but being the unorganised person I am, it's sadly too late to buy some for the Exchange. Not all is lost though! I put my crafty thinking cap on and came up with a way around the problem...
...Voila! I made my own...okay, okay so its not quite the same because you have to use a glue stick but it looks great, I promise.
I knew someone out there would find this useful too, so as I'm a caring and sharing kinda gal I've uploaded two styles for you to print, cut and stick for your own packages :)
I'm slow to get the hang of this photography lark, (even with the natural light on my side!) so my pictures sadly don't really do this little project justice.
You should definitely give this ago next time you want something pretty to seal a card or a gift, it really can look beautiful.
