Washi Tape Bunting. Learn how to easily make a cute washi tape banner to display all your favorite washi tapes.
This summer has been so busy! I have been soaking up all the time I can with my big boy before he goes back to school and starts 1st grade! (How did this happen?) I am finally getting around to decorating my front table for summer.
How to Make a Washi Tape Bunting
I thought using some of my latest favorite crafting supplies would be fun: washi tape and baker’s twine. If you haven’t picked some of these up for your crafting supply, you should! There are so many uses.
Supplies:
- Washi Tape, various colors
- Baker’s Twine
- Scissors (smaller ones work better)
Pick Out Washi Tape
Decide which washi tapes you want to use and determine your pattern. I chose six summery colored washi tapes. I laid them out in a pattern that looked pleasing to me.
Cut Washi Tape
Cut a piece of washi tape.
I eyeballed the measurements, but they were about 1″ – 1 1/2″ long once folded. So, it would be best to cut a 2″ – 3″ long strip.
Attach Washi Tape to Twine
Fold the washi tape around your baker’s twine. I left the twine attached to the roll until I was finished adding all my tape pennants.
I wasn’t exactly sure how long I wanted it to be. Be sure you line up the side edges of your tape when you fold it over so it doesn’t look messy!
Trim Washi Tape
Trim the edge straight across.
Cut an upside-down notched ‘v’ at the bottom of the tape. This will create your pennant shape.

Repeat the above steps until your bunting is long enough. I repeated all the colors twice, so there were 12 pennants on my bunting.
Hang your bunting! I added mine to the mirror I have on my entryway table.
I taped it up with regular clear tape on each end. You could also add a smaller bunting to a handmade card or gift.
