Washi tape makes everything more fun, so I was so excited that it was chosen for the March Supply of the Month challenge! Washi tape comes in an endless variety of colors and patterns, and I used this primary patterned washi tape and neon washi tape to decorate these fun wood crates. They make the perfect storage boxes for my daughters’ library books and my endless stack of magazines! They would also make great craft supply or toy storage.
Paint the exterior of the crate with two coats of paint using a foam brush. I chose white paint from this acrylic paint set because the patterns on the washi tape really pop against the white.
Choose your favorite colors of washi tape to decorate your crate! I ran the tape along the top of each of the bars on the crate, wrapping the tape all the way around.
Overlap the tape slightly at the end, as washi tape sticks best on itself.
Keep adding tape until you get the look you want.
Use these fun alphabet letter tiles to label your crates. Add to the bottom of the crate with a dab of hot glue.
My magazines look so much better organized in a crate vs. piling up on the coffee table.
