I just love making gifts and packages as pretty as possible…don’t you?

As I was putting some pretty packages together, it occurred to me that maybe you all would enjoy a little How-To and free printable pattern for making your own Mini Washi Tape!  I just figured this out awhile ago… and now use it often to make all my Happy Mail pretty!

It’s super Cute…super Easy… and much cheaper than real Washi Tape! 🙂

All you need is:

– 1/2x 1 3/4 inch mailing labels

– printable pattern (I gotcha covered on this one!)

– pinking shears

– color printer

What you do:

1. Just click on the gingham patterns at the end of this post to make them full size and save them to your desktop

2. Open in pretty much any applications… anything that will open a photo (.jpeg file) and allow you to print it full sized (approx. 8 1/2 x 11)

3. Print pattern on label paper

4. Peel off the paper in the margin areas (not the label part) so that just the labels are left.

5. Then cut into strips, with pinking shears,  along edges of each column of labels… as shown in photo.

It’s that EASY!  Now you can use them for just about anything!… you can even write on them!

*** You could also do the same thing with round labels and make your own sticker/seals… (see the photos below! and visit my ETSY SHOP for MANY more printable patterns/digital papers!)
