This season is the perfect opportunity to get creative, and nothing says 'personal touch' like handmade decorations. With mt Masking Tape you can turn simple cardboard into beautifully customised baubles that bring charm and uniqueness to your Christmas tree. Here’s how you can craft these delightful decorations in just a few simple steps.
What You’ll Need
- Cardboard sheets
- A selection of mt Masking tape in various colours and patterns
- Scissors and craft knife
- String or ribbon for hanging
Step 1: Create Your Shapes
Decide on the shapes you want for your baubles. Traditional circles are always a hit, but feel free to experiment with stars, hearts, or other festive designs. Trace your shapes onto the cardboard using a template or freehand, then carefully cut them out.
Step 2: Plan Your Design
With mt Masking Tape available in a wide variety of patterns, colours, and textures, you can let your creativity shine. Mix and match tapes to suit your festive theme. Will you go for minimal elegance or vibrant patterns? The choice is yours!
Design Ideas:
- Striped Elegance: Layer different tapes to create a striped effect.
- Modern Geometric: Cut tape into triangles, squares, or hexagons for a striking mosaic.
- Personalised Touches: Spell out initials, names, or short phrases with tape for a heartfelt touch.
Step 3: Decorate with Tape
Trim the tape to your desired lengths or shapes using scissors or a craft knife, experimenting with straight cuts, angled edges, or custom shapes to match your design. Carefully stick the tape onto the cardboard, smoothing it down with your fingers to eliminate air bubbles. Punch a hole near the top of each bauble, thread a piece of string or ribbon through the hole and tie it into a loop for easy hanging.
Step 6: Display Your Creations
Hang your baubles proudly on your Christmas tree, or use them as unique gift tags or decorative wall hangings.
