Make your own Washi Tape ATC
The theme for 9ATC Group is to Make your own Washi Tape (directions below). My homemade Washi tape is the strip in the middle. For the ATC, I adhered the homemade tape with two strips of black decorative washi tape on each side onto some decorative background paper. Added decorative stickers and adhered a charm with black thread. This was layered onto black card stock.
To make the Washi tape, I pressed it onto a book page and pressed down before lifting it off the page.
