Oh, the Things you can Washi

I've seen a zillion things on Pinterest about what to do with washi tape, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I finally found some the other day and I'll admit I covered my phone charger with it before I even got home! I've used it for a few things, (phone charger, calculator, notebook), but there are probably more to come, unless this is another one of my short-lived passions. (I've had a lot of those).

Inspiration ➽ Creation

     A week or so ago I had paper cranes on my inspiration board. I said I'd make some for my room sometime, and what do you know, I actually did something I said I'd do for once!

     I share a bedroom. A 10x10 bedroom at that. My sister and I are close, but that doesn't mean we like to decorate our 100 square feet the same way- giving me only the space right by my top-bunk bed to express my style and personality. It's small, but I work with it pretty well in my opinion. I've got Christmas lights, a collage of sorts of tumblr pictures and my drawings and paintings, and now, a pair of (probably incorrectly-folded) paper cranes!


     I really do have a thing for paper cranes. To me, they represent courage and freedom. Those things obviously bring about large-scale thoughts of their importance. But lately, they've been important to me on a personal level, which is why I love the reminder when I see them hanging by my bed.

     A tutorial to make origami cranes can be found here.
