I hope your summers have all been good so far. I was at paperchase yesterday and I saw this big roll of tape covered in watermelons, and watermelons are my favourite fruit, and it was just so summery that I had to buy it. So today I had the idea to base my post around tape. Here are two DIYs which you can make using any big tape you have at home, be it washi or duct.
For both DIYs you will need:
-card (the stronger the better)
-tape
1- get a big piece of card, the thicker it is the stronger your purse will be.
2- cut the card to the right width, and with a length two and a half times the right length. The half will befor the flap.
3- measure down half the right length, then fold the rest of the card in half up to there, so you form the shape of the purse.
4- cover the whole thing in tape, cutting extra strips and folding them over the seams to seal it. If you want to make your purse extra secure, add some velcro onto the top of the purse and the flap.
1- cut out two squares of card, each one 6.5cm by 6.5cm.
2- cut one of these in half diagonally
3- cover the other square with tape completely
4-cut a piece of tape 6.5cm long, and put it over one of the triangles, but don't fold over the edges. Discard the other triangle.
5- place the square over the triangle, then fold up the excess tape onto the square, so they are now stuck together.
