Christmas: wall decoration made of tape
I made a taped Christmas tree as a wall decoration, and I stuck cards that I also designed with tape strips, and I also printed the word 'X-Mas' with a Dymo labelwriter - I simply stuck it freehand. "
What you need for the wall decoration:
- Washi tape. For nostalgia in the nursery there are sets of 6 different tapes - blank postcards
- Possibly. Dymo LabelWriter
For the Christmas tree you stick three triangles one above the other, beginning with the lower one. This is followed by the middle triangle, which must be a bit smaller. The smallest triangle is on top of it, that's the top. For the triangles, the lower side should be the longest.
It is best if you choose three different colors in different patterns.
At the end you stick the trunk to the bottom.
For the Christmas tree on the postcards I simply cut off tapes in different lengths. When gluing you should start again with the bottom side, so again with the longest.
Then glue the strips over each other in shorter lengths, so that they are always glued in the middle of the lower tape. Otherwise the tree will go awry.
For the candles, I stuck tape strips perpendicular to the card. For the flame, I cut out a flame shape from another tape and glued it over. At the end I printed the word "X-Mas" with a Dymo labelwriter and stuck it on the card.
