Wishy Washi Tape: Decorating Make-up

I have recently encountered Washi tapes. Yeah, I am now a bit late in the fad but to my defense, it's fame just reached Manila a few weeks or months ago. I don't know for sure. Ah. You get the point anyway.

I have decided to use washi tape to cover my cracked eye shadow palette from H&M. That palette was my favorite handy dandy palette but then its cover cracked. I hesitated bringing it and putting it in my make-up kit because it does not look good anymore. Shallow, jam. So when I received my washi tapes, I covered it!

ITEMS NEEDED
  • washi tape
  • scissors (optional)
  • cutter

Here are my newly-bought washi tapes. They are priced at around 60 to 70 php or $1.3-1.5






First Project: Broken H&M eye shadow palette



I covered the broken plastic case with the washi tape. I added a few centimeters on each end for the sides. Remember to flatten the washi tape so there are no bubbles on the surface.


Overlap the washi tapes a little bit so that there will be no visible blank space.



After fully covering the case, I trimmed the excess washi tapes on the side using a cutter. 




After trimming the sides, the cover now looks clean and neat.

Second Project: Lipstick palette

I created this watercolor turned eye shadow palette. It was previously covered with ugly stickers. Yeah, it didn't turn out like I wanted to. Check it out here

I stripped stickers off the lipstick palette.

OTHER WASHI PROJECTS

I covered my iphone charger right after getting my washi tapes so pardon the poor application. I just love this Eiffel tower design.


Don't worry if you have holes on things you want to cover. Just pop it out using a cutter. 



Here, I covered my 20,000 mAh powerbank with 3 types of design.




TADA!

All are now very colorful and fun. This makes me so happy lol!
