In today's highly experimental video, we are making our very own DIY translucent decorative tapes! ✨ This is such a fun, easy and slightly messy craft hack to create completely unique ephemera and backgrounds for your junk journals, art journals and mixed media projects.
Don't be afraid to experiment with me! We are using clear tape and beautiful vibrant inks to see what magic we can achieve. I will be using these exact tapes in my next project, so make sure you are subscribed!
