Floral Washi Tape DIY Wood Tags

With spring in full swing, it’s time to start diving into natural elements, pastel hues, and floral themes. Not sure where to start? Check out this charming washi tape DIY project featuring spring-friendly floral designs. And thanks to Darice’s extensive selection of washi tape designs, it’ll be super easy to design something you love. All you need is vellum paper, washi tape, and an afternoon. No green thumb necessary!

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-1FLORAL WASHI TAPE DIY WOOD TAG SUPPLIES:

  • Darice Unfinished Wood Tags
  • Brown Acrylic Paint (Or Wood Stain)
  • Darice Sponge Brush
  • Clear Vellum Paper 
  • Darice Craft Scissors
  • Darice Washi Tape Value Pack in Pastel
  • Darice Washi Tape White with Black
  • Darice Washi Tape Green Ferns
  • Pencil
  • Craft Glue
  • Embellishments (Optional)

* Choose prints and colors that best fit your style. Darice’s washi tape selection is practically endless!

Step 1. Add a light wash of brown acrylic paint for a faux wood-stained look. You can also use a wood stain of your choice. Don’t forget to protect your work surface with scrap paper, newspaper, or fabric remnants.

As always, head outside or into a well-ventilated area while applying paint or stain. If you are using wood stain, make sure to carefully follow the package’s directions.

Step 2. Add several strips of washi tape to the vellum paper.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-4Step 3. Using the pencil, draw pointed ovals. Don’t stress about making the ovals the same exact size; slight variations are totally okay. After all, this will help the flowers look more natural and organic.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-5Step 4. Cut out the ovals.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-6Step 5. Add a small dot of glue to the wooden tag.

Step 6. Add the washi tape petals, one by one. Apply more glue when necessary. Take care to not overdo it, though. Using too much glue will cause the washi tape petals to curl more than usual.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-9Step 7. Continue applying petals until the first layer of the flower is completed.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-10Step 8. Add another layer of petals, if you’d like.

Set aside to dry. Here’es a tip: place a heavy book or item on top of the tag while it dries. This will help flatten out the petals.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-11Step 9. Try out this technique with washi tape in different colors or prints. You can even add an embellishment or combine contrasting washi designs.

LEAF STYLE

Step 10. To create leaves, use strips of green washi tape, vellum, and a pencil. The leaves can be any shape or style. I went with thin teardrop shapes.

You can also use the scissors to cut slits along the edges to create depth and dimension.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-13Step 11. Leaves can be used without flowers, too. Again, bring in some embellishments if you’d like!

Step 12. To create a full rose-esque flower for your washi tape DIY tags, draw wavy-edged ovals on strips of washi tape adhered to vellum. One oval = one petal. Make sure they vary in size; this will help create the illusion of layered petals.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-15Step 13. Cut each petal out.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-16Step 14. Glue to a wooden tag. Start with the biggest petals, ending with the smallest one on top.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-17Step 15. Add some leaves, if desired. Again, don’t hesitate to experiment with different washi tape designs and angles.

Once your washi tape DIY tags are completely dry, they’re ready to spruce things up. To transform them into gift tags or place cards, simply adhere a piece of paper onto the tag. You can also write directly on each tag using a white or light-colored paint pen.

Washi-Tape-DIY-Tags-Darice-19Looking for other options to utilize these washi tape DIY tags? Make a wall hanging or banner by tying the tags to string or yarn. You can also use them to dress up a spring basket by tying them on the handle.
