It's time for a little brutal honesty, guys: I see that overflowing stash of Halloween washi tape you have squirreled away, and it's time to do something about it.
I see it because I have one too. Washi tape has long been one of those things I impulse buy. I love the prints. I love that I can use it as tape. I love the price at my favorite craft stores.
But my problem is I buy it...and then I don't use it because it's too pretty or I'll be sad when it's gone.
Can you relate? (I'm assuming you're nodding right now...)
The whole point of craft supplies is to MAKE something from it, so today we're going to do just that with these 15 DIYs you can make with Halloween washi tape.
15 DIYs to Make With Halloween Washi Tape
1. Halloween Washi Tape Wreath
This is such a simple DIY using just a paper plate and washi tape, that even the craft-challenged or youngest kiddos could make this. (I'm thinking my four-year-old niece would love it!) SEE THE DIY

We all know I love a good banner, and adding washi tape to a simple craft like this is perfect! The prints add a bit of pizzaz and texture to these paper cards. SEE THE DIY
