Washi tape gift box ornaments (Part Deux)…<$10

More washi tape gift box ornaments. Strikingly similar to last Wednesday’s post…this time made with thin clear plastic cut from take-out containers. Yet one more easy upcycle of common refuse.

You need:

Washi tape (2 kinds)
Clear plastic refuse (cut into squares)
Something to hang your creation with, could be: wire (requires small pin/nail) or thread/string (requires needle)
Scissors
String (I used white kite string)
Square post-it notes (optional)

Want to see the steps?

Costs = <$10 for many:

Washi tape = $7.30 for a set of 2
String = $1.94
Everything else = free or already available around the house

How to:

I used a post-it to cut out a clear square from some plastic take-out container. Then I taped over it with my washi tape and trimmed the edges.

I made these combos.

I used a large pin to poke a whole at the cross of the “gift bow”. Small nail works too. I used that hole to secure the string detail. And I used an old piece of thin wire as a quasi-needle. I don’t know what else to explain here, cuz I winged it.
