[Drawing Log] Masking Tape Art Making #7

How about trying to make a picture using masking tape? Start by sketching on your favorite paper, like drawing paper.

Then stick masking tape over the sketch and, using a craft knife, cut along the lines to remove the excess, shaping it as if you’re adding color.

Use your favorite masking tapes to represent hair color, eye color, clothing colors, and so on.

Masking tape can be peeled off, so even if you make a mistake, you can reapply and recut—no problem! One thing to watch out for: if you cut too forcefully with the craft knife, you might slice through the paper underneath.

Work slowly and apply the blade lightly so it only cuts the masking tape.

Princess tiara made with pipe cleaners

[Party Craft] Easy with chenille stems! Princess tiara you can make with 100-yen shop items: cosplay & makeup. How to make a tiara and princess makeup. [Christmas / Halloween]

This is a cute pipe-cleaner tiara that girls who love sparkles and princesses will want to make on their own.

First, hold the pipe cleaner by bringing both ends together, and stretch the opposite side with your fingers.

Wrap the middle around a pen once and remove it, then use the pen to help form a heart shape.

Layer another pipe cleaner to create a gap, and twist the overlapping parts to join them.

Twist the ends of the heart-shaped pipe cleaner to refine the shape, connect it to the other pipe cleaner, and your adorable tiara is complete.

The best part is you only need three 30 cm pipe cleaners and a thin pen—all available at a 100-yen shop!

accessory case

A handy small-item case craft using an empty tissue box

Here are some ideas for making a small accessory case that lets you showcase your individuality.

The process has three main steps.

First, remove the plastic from the opening.

Next, make slits at the key points and shape it into a small container.

Finally, add decorations as you like to finish.

Try making your own unique case by pasting origami paper or adding stickers.

Since you decide the design yourself, you’ll likely feel even more attached to it.
