Tape = January's Fresh Flowers?

I always love a nice bouquet of fresh flowers to really liven up the apartment with a touch of colour. Of course, I'm not Martha Stewart, and I don't have a farm yard full of blooming wonders to chose from, nor do I have an unlimited flower budget (especially in the off season of January). I do however have a selection of washi tape and some plain vases to decorate. Not sold? Take a peek at these:


Okay, so they're not exactly flowers (well...not at all really...) but they are a nice centerpiece and they do add a pop of colour during the winter blues months! I love the rainbow effect they created and think some little tea lights would look amazing shining through the translucent washi tape! How fun! In fact, the ladies over at Santa Barbara Chic have an entire post about decorating your table with tape you must check out (link). Oh, and clearly I need to buy myself some more washi tape now right?

  1. For some reason I would feel like this would be a waste of tape...but then again, I'm the person who saves the hello kitty stickers that come free with the calendars...

  2. Did you make those? They're really cool! Although, I kind of have to agree with Lindsay. I don't know if I could actually use any washi tape if I had it. I'd probably just hoard it, and take it out once in a while to look at how pretty it is.

  3. I have five rolls of washi tape and I do exactly what Leslie said: hoard it, and look at it! I do like these vases though, maybe I will make an exception ^_^
