Sticky & Stitched - PART 2 - "Washi" Tape & Stickers
Beehive Bindery & Crafts, 432 N CLARK ST #204, CHICAGO, IL, USJoin us for a cozy, stress-free, and FUN afternoon of making your own "Washi" style tapes, hand-made stickers AND a Hand-Bound Tape & Sticker Book (NO SEWING EXPERIENCE NEEDED)
This is Part-2 of a Two-Part series dedicated to making tapes and stickers for journaling, gift wrapping, crafting or whatever your creative heart desires.
Be sure to check out our other class: Sticky & Stitched - Part 1 - Fabric & Decorative Paper Tapes AND a Hand-Sewn Storage Envelope!
What Youâll Create- The Hand-Bound Tape & Sticker Book: We will start by making a hand-bound organizer to keep your tapes & stickers safe and sound. Each Sticker Book will be made with a cover of durable Kraft-tex⢠and filled with poly sheets for easy organizing of your tapes and in the back we'll add in an envelope to keep your stickers. Then they'll be hand-sewn by you with the thread color of your choice along with a coordinating ribbon and button to make the closure for your book.
- Custom designed "washi" style tapes & stickers: With tons of tapes sizes to choose from the skinniest to wide, and everything in between, you decorate your stickers with a HUGE selection of colors and patterns. Then we'll scour magazines and books and papers to find images and designs to make two different kinds of stickers.
Highlights
- No Experience? No Problem: Whether youâre a seasoned maker or you havenât picked up a needle since grade school, weâll be right there to guide you through every stitch and stick.
- All-Inclusive Creativity: We provide everythingâthe needles, the adhesives, and that "large assortment" of gorgeous fabrics and papers youâve been dreaming of.
- The Joy of "Made by Me": Thereâs a special kind of pride that comes from using something you made with your own two hands. Youâll leave not just with beautiful items, but with the skills to keep creating at home.
