This craft takes adult coloring to a whole new level - it's a box for your supplies that you can color on thanks to this nifty color-your-own washi tape! The addition of the washi tape and letter stickers gives them a personal, crafty touch. I had so much fun coloring the patterned tape that now I'm thinking about what I want to cover it with next! Be sure to follow the Supply of the Month series for other creative ideas for using washi tape!

Start by decorating the top of your box with the washi tape. I chose to cover half of my lid with diagonal stripes, but you can decorate yours however you’d like!

Once you’ve added your washi tape now it’s time for the fun part – coloring it! I used fine point Sharpie® markers to color mine.
