DIY Stationary

Today I have a few pen-pals I need to write back to and I decided to make my own stationary for fun! I thought I would share with you a couple of ways I'm making it.

To start out I take however many pieces of paper I need (I just use copy paper) and fold it in half to find the middle then cut them in half with a paper cutter. Of course, you could leave it the regular size if you want to but personally I like the little size.

   

So far my all time favorite way is with washi tape! I love washi tape!! I just take a strip and put half of the strip on one side, flip the paper over and fold it over the other side. Then you do that to each side and voila! You have some beautiful stationary!

Once I put the washi tape around the edges I take a ruler and make a line of dots with a pencil (DON'T us a pen, trust me I did it and you could clearly see the line of dots and it looked awful. If you can see the pencil dots you can go back and erase them) a quarter inch apart. Then I use the ruler and make a line where each dot is, now you can use a pen. 😜 Or you don't have to make lines if you want to save on time or just prefer the look. I like it both ways.

 

You can also take a lined sheet of paper and put it behind the piece of paper to simply trace the lines. That's a simple, easy way to get nice looking lines. I think I might try it this way sometime soon.

The last way I have to show you is with stamps. I think stamps are very fun to use and very pretty when used! This one is pretty self-explanatory. 😜

I hope these were helpful for you and that you try them sometime! I would love feedback on what you thought of this post, did you enjoy it? Would you like to see more crafty posts? I hope you have a blessed rest of your day!
