Video Tutorial: Homemade Paper Tape!

November 19, 2011 | thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich

Hi Folks! I’ve been waiting to post this video since August! I used some awesome button and Jewel stamps from Pink Persimmon in this tutorial and they kept selling out of them so I wanted to wait until they were back in stock because you might want them after seeing this! I made paper tape out of stamps and sticker paper, it was so fun and easy, you can see the tape on this card, the video is at the end of the post:

DCF 1.0 — I made a ruffle out of crepe paper and used glitter nail polish to add quick drying bling to the jewel. I colored my rhinestone with marker to match and made my own seam binding. You can see more tips like that in my latest article in Scrap & Stamp Arts!

Also I wanted to tell you that I have a new article out in the January 2012 issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts Magazine! It is filled with my favorite tips on making your own craft supplies titled, what else? The Frugal Crafter! Check it you on newsstands or get your copy here.

Here is the video, enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by and til net time happy crafting!

You are DA BOMB! I LOVE this! First of all, I had no idea about that sticker paper! And to cut it up to look like tape is brilliant, of course! Great little vid! Keep ’em coming! And congrats on your publishing creds!

Excellent idea Lindsay. This way you get the exact theme of your work too, the rolls can get boring after a while!
