FIRST POST!! Washi keyboard

     Well, I became interested and intrigued with  pinterest when I started seeing it pop up on my facebook news feed a lot. I finally caved and joined. Within minutes I was hooked! I could not believe all of the cool stuff I was missing. I really enjoyed the DIY and crafts section. I consider myself a wannabe when it comes to crafts and projects. I love to look at them and want to complete my own but, usually have a hard time getting motivated. I think that is the reason I am starting this blog, whether anyone sees it or not. I want to motivate myself to become crafty. I figure if I can do it and blog about it, then maybe others will be able to attempt the projects too!


     My first attempt was a washi taped key board. Washi tape is similar to that blue painter's tape only it is sheer. I saw that someone made a washi keyboard and I was hooked. I ordered some washi tape from a shop on etsy and patiently waited for my tape to arrive. A couple of days letter I was set. I had ordered 10 different tapes but only ended up using 8. I measured the keys one at a time and stuck the tape to the key. Overall I'd say it took me 45mins to an hour (I put on a some housewives and enjoyed some washi). I loveeeeeeeeeeee my new keyboard! I completed this project about a week and a half ago. If I could change anything I would make sure to cut the corners of the square pieces of tape because the stick out a little. Not a bid deal but a little tip for next time :)


     Check out my colorful new keyboard!! Another tiny hint is go for light colors so that you can see the letters through the tape. I don't feel like I have to look at the keys when I'm typing but I do have a hard time with some of the numbers. For instance #2 (gray) is a little busy and hard to see through but I am really happy with this project and how it turned out!
