With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to give your love letters the attention they deserve. This year, we're ditching boring envelope seals and embracing the playful charm of washi tape to transform ordinary envelopes into little works of art. Whether you're looking for Valentine's card ideas, DIY envelope decoration techniques, or creative ways to use mt Masking Tape, these simple washi tape crafts will make your Valentine's post truly special.
Washi Tape Stickers – Quick, Cute, and Foolproof Envelope
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Enter mt Seal stickers – the ultimate shortcut to envelope perfection. These circular washi tape stickers come in gorgeous colours and patterns, making them perfect for sealing your Valentine's post with zero fuss. This envelope decorating technique is ideal for anyone who wants beautiful results without spending hours on Valentine's Day crafts.
How to do it:
Simply pop an mt Seal sticker over the envelope flap where it meets the back. Job done! But why stop there? Create a playful dotted pattern by placing multiple seals across the back of your envelope –randomly scatter them for a fun, whimsical look, or arrange them in neat rows for something more structured. You can even layer two different sized seals on top of each other for a dimensional effect, or dot a trail of smaller seals along the envelope edge like a line of love hearts.
Our top picks? The matte white mt Seal for timeless romance, or mix shocking pink with gold for a bit of glam. They're sticky enough to keep your secrets safe but gentle enough not to tear the paper when opened – the perfect balance, really.
DIY Washi Tape Shapes
Fancy yourself a bit crafty? This one's for you. Grab your favourite roll of washi tape and a pair of scissors, and you're ready to create custom envelope seals in any shape your heart desires. This DIY Valentine's craft is perfect for handmade cards and personalised Valentine's gifts.
How to do it:
Cut strips of washi tape and stick it to a cutting mat or non-stick surface. Using scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut out your desired shape – think hearts, arrows, or even tiny love letters. Peel off your masterpiece and stick it over the envelope seal.
This technique works brilliantly with patterned tapes too. Stripes, polka dots, or even those gorgeous florals from the mt artist collections can transform a simple heart shape into something truly special.
Intricate Washi Tape Details – Tiny Flowers and Delicate Valentine's Touches
Ready to take your envelope decoration up a notch? This washi tape craft technique requires a steady hand and a bit of patience, but the results are absolutely worth it. By cutting details from patterned washi tape, you can create miniature masterpieces that'll make recipients wonder if you've secretly been crafting all your life. Perfect for special Valentine's cards or romantic love letters.
How to do it:
Choose a patterned tape with clear, defined motifs – florals work wonderfully for Valentine's. Carefully cut around individual flowers, leaves, or other decorative elements using small scissors or a craft knife. Arrange these tiny cut-outs around your envelope seal, building up layers to create depth and interest.
You could create a bouquet of tiny washi flowers blooming across the back of your envelope, or scatter individual petals for a romantic confetti effect. Mix and match patterns for an eclectic look, or keep it monochromatic for something more refined.
