Colorful DIY Washi Tape Keyboard Tutorial Part 1

Well, I am not even sure this qualifies as a tutorial.  It is just too easy peasy!  I'm pretty sure you'll be winging this yourself with a style all your own! 

I could give you all kinds of to-do's, and I will give you a few . . . but this is one of those crafts you just can't really mess up!   

Example: This is a photo of my laptop keyboard.  Still pretty cute, huh? ♡  I washi taped it almost 4 years ago, come this July!  (And now you know the secret to my rather large washi tape collection . . . years of collecting AND I've only bought two new rolls, when I was at my sister's house last November!)  

So you see it's quite durable and even though it's looking a little scruffy due to my gamer grandson playing on it non-stop for a week.

So here are the tools and materials you'll need:

1.  Keyboard

2.  Washi tape.

3.  Exacto Knife. (optional, use only scissors)

4.  Scissors.

5.  Self-healing cutting mat (optional, use a bread board if you want)

6.    Mod-Podge (optional, but this does make it semi-permanent and

      way more durable.  You can make your own "mod-podge" too 

      and save a little bundle of casharoo!

7.   White gel pen.

8.   Q-tips.

9.   A ruler. (Optional)*

10. A photo of your keyboard before you start covering it in cute

      washi tape!  Or you could get one off the internet like I had to 

      because I hadn't written this tutorial yet!  Hahaha!

*Even though I did my cutting on a mat with measurements printed on it, I didn't use them.  I winged it. (wung it? sp?)  I am so not an exact science kind of crafter . . . I cook the same way.  That could be why sometimes my creations are so wonderfully crafty and at other times they are just plain crappy!  :)

That's it!  I had to get up and go look at the photo shoot in progress for Part 2 tomorrow, to see if I was missing anything and NOPE . . . that's really all it takes to achieve this techno-yumminess that will make you smile every time you look at it!  Seriously!  I am still in love with mine!

So are you wondering why in the heck do I need a part 2 for this tutorial, if I say it's so darn easy!  Mostly cause I'm still catching up from gbaby #10 ♡.  I'm getting back on track, but pacing myself, ya know?

You probably won't even need part two, cause you're good at winging it too!  But, I am going to finish it for you tomorrow anyway!  

And yes, I know.  It's seems like just a big, fat excuse to do a fun and crafty photo shoot! ♡  I'ts my other addiction along with the washi tape, but you already knew that too, right? :)

So, I'll see you tomorrow guys!  It's good to be back!  Let me know in the comments what you would like to see me do a tutorial about next.!  Or let me know what I can do to improve on this one!  Do you have anything you've been wanting to try?  Let me know!

Oh, and a BIG, GIANT, HUGE THANKS ♡ to all the ladies who purchased the Mixed Media & Scrapbooking Kit last month! 

CRAFT HAPPY!
