We LOVE This DIY Washi Tape Table Place Setting
Man I love washi tape. There is no end of possibilities to what you can create! Fun wrapping, cake toppers , cards, phone cases & even a little bit of home decor! So when Stone Gift sent us over an amazing box of mt washi tapes to get creative with we just knew we would dream up something fun! We figured, why create a washi tape plate or washi tape jars when you can create an entire washi tape place setting?! We think these would be an awesome addition of colour to your wedding table! For this DIY you will need:
A large plate // A smaller side plate // A jar // Cutlery // 3 Different types of washi tape // Scissors //
STEP 1: Take your three different styles of washi tape and start to cut different sized triangles out of them, these can be any size you want but we decided on 2 long triangles and 1 short triangle. Then start to place them around the outside of your plate.
STEP 2: Do this until the entire place has a cute washi tape border all the way around.
STEP 3: Take your smaller plate and simply stretch out long strips of the washi tape around the outside. We used two strips of each colour to make sure it looked relatively even.
STEP 4: Wrap a piece of your washi tape around the top of the handles on your cutlery! This looks best if you stick to one pattern.
STEP 5: Next it’s time to decorate the jar! Take one colour of your washi tape and cut a triangular shape into the end, then wrap it around your jar. You don’t have to go all the way around, just enough to create a nice strip of colour onto the jar.
STEP 6: Finally repeat with the other two styles of tape and you’re done! You may also want to wrap a bit of tape around a straw for the jar then lay out the table however you think works best and voila! You have your very own washi tape place setting!
How cute is that?! If you’d like to get your hands on those gorgeous yellow invitations too you can do so on Minted! And don’t forget if you’d like the same mt washi tape as us then just head on over to Stone Gift to get your hands on some, they’ve got a great selection over there!
Happy crafting!
Useful Tips for Making Your Table Place Setting with Washi Tape
If you’re dreaming of a DIY wedding project that’s both creative and practical, using washi tape to design your table place setting is a brilliant choice. It’s colourful, versatile, and a fun way to add personal touches to your wedding décor.
Why Washi Tape?
Washi tape is like the Swiss Army knife of craft supplies. It’s decorative, easy to apply, and comes in countless designs. I once used it to create an entire table place setting for a friend’s wedding, and the results were stunning! Think of it as a way to give your wedding tables that Pinterest-worthy aesthetic without breaking the bank.
Customise Your Table Place Setting
Using washi tape on your table place setting allows you to create custom designs that reflect your personality. From colour schemes to patterns, you can play around until your heart’s content. You could even match the tape to your wedding theme or bridal bouquet. One tip is to layer different tapes for added texture. I did this with a simple white tablecloth and geometric washi designs, and the pop of colour was chef’s kiss.
Pros of Using Washi Tape
One major advantage of using washi tape for your table place setting is its versatility. It can be applied to just about anything – menus, name cards, or even candles. It also peels off without leaving a sticky residue, so you won’t have to worry about damage.
Another upside is that you can get your guests involved. I’ve hosted pre-wedding crafting nights where friends helped me make washi-tape place settings. It’s a brilliant bonding experience! Plus, there’s a huge sense of satisfaction seeing something you’ve made featured on your big day.
The (Minor) Cons
Let’s not sugarcoat it: washi tape isn’t indestructible. It can peel if the surface isn’t clean or smooth. I learned this the hard way at an outdoor wedding where humidity wreaked havoc on the paper goods. So, if you’re planning an outdoor celebration, maybe opt for sturdier surfaces like wood or glass for your table place setting.
Conclusion: Make it Yours
Ultimately, washi tape offers a charming and easy way to personalise your table place setting. Whether you want to go bold with patterns or keep it minimalist, the possibilities are endless. Just be mindful of the surfaces you use and have fun with the process! Your guests will love the personal touch.
Much Bespoke Love!
