Washi Tape Vase and Tea Light Holder (Kid-Made Gifts Series)



This craft is another simple one that hardly needs any instructions.  Pictures will suffice! (And I'm pretty sure you know what it's all about even before seeing the pictures :)  )  Simple crafts like this are wonderful for toddlers - they can complete it almost entirely on their own, and in the end they've made something beautiful and useful. 

tips: The girls used large salsa jars for their "vases" and baby food jars for the tea light holders.  I pre-ripped pieces of washi tape for my two-year-old, and my preschooler was pretty much on her own.  It worked.

    1. Check the O.L. facebook page. My sister called it even before you did!!
      (btw - when is the next washi-tape lovers anonymous night at your place? Want to change it up and do it here? Not trying to take over, just spread the hosting "responsibilities"...)

Like the old song says, "comments are a girl's best friend." Or something like that... So... leave a comment! I love chatting here! Pretend you're on my back porch, kick the broken plastic sandbox toys aside, sip your iced coffee, or beer, or (__fill in the blank with your beverage of choice__) and let's talk about all the things, because back-porch blogging is what I do!
