We are excited to finally share that we are working with Oriental Trading in a new blogger series.  Along with three other amazing DIY bloggers  – Carrie from Dream Green DIY, Haeley from Design Improvised and Amy from Delineate Your Dwelling – we are up to a craft supply challenge of sorts. Each month Oriental Trading will challenge us to come up with a DIY project using a specific craft supply from their site. This month we had to dream up a project using a color your own washi tape pack.

The black and white patterned tape is just as much fun as you can imagine. You can create any color palette with permanent markers! We designed wood birdhouses with the tape and a little paint. These make the cutest little desk accessory or a nice accent piece on a bookshelf. Head over to Oriental Trading to get the full tutorial. Stay tuned for next month’s challenge!
