This cheerful little project came straight from a Pinterest rabbit hole, and with some leftover decorative paper sitting around from the Mason Jar Makeover post, it felt like the obvious next item to tackle on that ever-growing list of pinned projects. You know the one.
What You Will Need
- A tape dispenser
- Decorative paper
- A pencil
- Scissors
A couple of notes on materials: Choose a paper that is thick enough to hold its shape and stand on its own without flopping. For the best results, look for a pattern that is printed on both sides so the finished piece looks polished from every angle.
How to Make It
Step 1: Create Your Template
Take the paper insert out of the tape dispenser and use it as a tracing template. Place it onto your decorative paper and trace around the outline.
Step 2: Cut and Insert
Cut carefully along the traced outline, then slide your newly cut decorative paper piece back into the dispenser in place of the original insert. That is genuinely all there is to it.
With double sided patterned paper, the result looks just as polished from the back as it does from the front. A tiny detail that makes a big visual difference on a desk or workspace
