Colorful Magazine Files Embellished With Washi Tape

With washi tape anything can be instantly transformed from dull to brilliant. These inexpensive cardboard magazine files “Fluns” from Ikea and were plain white. But now they add instant color to the craft room whilst keeping all the craft magazines well organized.

 

 

Magazine Files With Washi Tape

For this project you will need:

- white cardboard magazine files such as the ones mentioned above or magazine files of your choice
- wash tape in colors of your choice
- scissors

Instructions:

Magazine File Tutorial 1
1. Apply the first strip of washi tape to the top of the magazine from right to left.

2. Continue adding the next strips, placing them right next to the previous strip. Use the scissors to cut excess washi tape away along the outside edge of the magazine file.

8. Continue until you reach the bottom of the file and you are finished. If you are making more files, you can either use the same color pattern, or as we did, use the same colors of washi tape, but in a different order for each new file.
