Washi tape flowers

Hope everyone is in the holiday spirit! Today I am sharing a super fun gift card holder.  I am also going to show you how to make the washi tape flower I put on it.  Washi tape is so versatile!



And how do you make the washi tape flower you ask? 
1) Start by cutting a circle about 3 1/2" wide.

 
2)  Cut the entire circle into a spiral.
 
 
3)  Cover the entire spiral with short pieces of washi tape.  Pieces do not have to be perfect.
 
 
4) Once the spiral is covered with washi tape, curl it into a flower shape.  Put liquid adhesive on the underside of the spiral and reshape back into a flower.  You may have to hold it a few minutes while the adhesive dries.
 
 
 
5)  And the completed flower!  I stuck a brad in the center of mine.

 
All of these items came from The Paper Bakery's November scrapbook kit.  It is great and you can grab yours HERE!!    Until next time....
