Washi Tape Frame | DIY

I was reading through my monthly copy of Elle Decoration when I came across this cute DIY - that also looks pretty impressive (especially what they did with the washi tape - much 'chic-er' than mine,) - but it gave me an idea what to do with my ruined sticky-gram pictures - little note, don't put them on radiators because even though mine was off, the images were still peeling off the magnets. In any case, I had a spare wall and some washi tape and got straight to it.

What you will need;

Washi tape - your choice, of course. I went for a slightly transparent tape with bright polka dots. I bought mine on ebay here.

Scissors - for cutting the tape, obviously, but if you want it more roughed up, just tear off the tape.

Optional Extras;

Tweezers - seriously, because when your placing the tape on the wall and on the photo (or in my case magnet,) my fingers are far too clumsy for being precise. So if you're clumsy like me, use a pair of tweezers for neatening rogue tape up - I didn't because I am not a perfectionist and impatient. 

Spirit Level/Pencil - If you are a perfectionist - use these two as well to aid in mapping out your photo frames. Like I said, I'm not so didn't bother.

I like my little roughed up framing job! I was pretty disgruntled that I had been silly enough to put the magnets on a radiator (that was switched off,) but had somehow still peeled? In any case, it saves me throwing them out or putting pins through them to go on my cork board.

Have you tried any washi tape DIY's recently?

Peace!

Hello lovelies! I feel so ridiculously lazy at the moment - I managed to get more hours at work but feel lethargic when I get home, not great. In any case, I've managed to get even more hours for the coming week - but then I get a whole week off after that! Hooray for cramming your essays into one week? (The only time I will have the time to write the majority of it, any way...)

Did you have a good Valentines day? I'm not one for it, and neither is Josh. He did get me a japanese puzzle box, which is pretty amazing! I got him a flask shaped like a white canon lens. .. 

Have you any exciting plans for the weekend?

Peace!

Instagram/Stickygram....

 Stickygram magnets...

I first learned about stickygrams through Taza's blog, The Rockstar Diaries. I didn't have a device with instagram at the time, but still locked it away in a 'must do' folder in the depths of my elephant memory.

Fast foward to a few days ago, I remembered, I have a Nexus 7, an android device obviously suitable for instagram (awesome by the way, if you don't want the forever changing i-Products...) and I ordered my first sheet of nine with a handy-dandy two dollars off my order...

They arrived and oh my goodness! I love them. They come in an easy-tear sheet so you can organize your sheet however you want! I have put mine on the radiator (which is never on, by the by,) in my lounge, as the fridge we have is too low down for anyone to enjoy, but that's another matter altogether...

So, if you want $2 off your first order, just use the link under the picture and apply discount code FRIENDINF5.

Happy instagram-ing!

Peace!
