Washi Tape Wall Pattern

 

I completed this wall pattern using washi tape, a few weeks ago, for One Crafty Contest.  I am just now getting around to posting about it!  I was so excited to take on this challenge because I have never used washi tape before.  I wanted to do something grand and original.  That's when I had the idea for this wall.  The competition challenged me to think about washi tape in a whole new way.  It took 16 rolls of washi in four different patterns to complete this design.

 I painted this wall slightly lighter than the other walls.  I thought that I would stencil it one day!  I brought in the ladder and soon found out that I needed a taller one.

I had a little bit of  help.

Starting at the top I measured, using a yard stick, and marked 5 inches away from the slope of the ceiling.  For the rest of the pattern I measured and marked 10 inches apart.  I left extra length and trimmed it with an Exact-o knife.  I applied the green tape first, the pink stripe second, the pink chevron third and the purple stripe fourth.  This project was pretty much, stop and go, so I didn't take a lot of pictures during the process.  Here are a few after shots!

 

   

 

 This took me a few hours each day.  I was given 5 days to complete this project!  After the pattern was complete I knew that the old curtains would have to go.  So, I found a little extra time to make new curtains too.  I made them using 3 twin bedsheets, which saved on time and money.  I'll do a tutorial for the curtains soon.

Maybe I have inspired you?  I would love to see your washi tape projects too!
