Tutorial Tuesday-Washi Tape Weaving

Hello all!
I'm starting a new series of tutorials on my wee blog here. I've already recorded two videos and have a few fun ideas that I can't wait to share.
The first is Washi tape weaving. Washi Tape, for the uninitiated, is a Japanese art paper tape. I have quite a few rolls that I purchased from the Paper Place in Toronto, and hardly ever use them. I recently came across a tutorial on weaving that was lovely, but completely baffled me. So I put my crafty OCD to good use and developed a new way to play with it. I them filmed a cheesy video to share with you all.
Here is a couple of cards I made with the technique. The circular card is made from the sample I did in the video.
And without further delay here's the video...enjoy!!

Returning

Hello Blog World!
I have been absent for far to long from this place. I miss blogging very much.
I've spent some time lately re-designing this site a little, so if you looking at on your reader, pop over and tell me what you think. It's still a work in progress, but I'm having fun with it!
I want to start posting some tutorials on here and I just finished a video tutorial and will have it up in the the next few days.
In the meantime, here's a little crafty jewellery project I made the other day, based on This Button Bracelet Tutorial I found on on Pinterest. (By the way here's my boards, come follow me and I'd love to follow you back!I am completely addicted to Pinterest. I'm sure this addiction is part of the reason I haven't been blogging). I made it with some antique buttons that I inherited from my Grandma. The are a bit old and worn but that makes me love them more.

Thanks for stopping by!!
