Do you love sorcery and deceit? Then you’re going to love today’s DIY project: washi tape accent wall ideas.


If you want to sass up your plain walls but can't paint or apply peel-and-stick wallpaper, washi tape is your new best friend. Why? Because she comes in all sorts of sizes, costs $3, and can be removed instantly. Today, I'm showing you five quick and easy patterns to create washi tape wall art.

As the icon Dita Von Teese said in her Architectural Digest Open Door home tour, “I really loathe white walls,” and I do too. So, if you're like me and white walls make you feel institutionalized, then try out these washi tape wall decor hacks.


Tools and materials:

  • Washi tape
  • Scissors
Cutting washi tape into strips

First, cut your washi tape into strips of approximately the same length.
