Image
What do you need: Masking tape (3/4") Piece of letter sized acetate (or letter sized glossy photo paper) Printer Check with the manufacturer to see which kind of acetate you can send through your printer The steps are fairly easy. If you are not a video watcher just follow these steps: Print one of the washi tape pdfs   Washi Tape1   Washi Tape2 Somehow tack it to the piece of acetate. You should be able to see the coloured strips through the acetate. Put the masking tape on the acetate on top of he coloured strips. Line it up as best you can.

It would probably be fine being 2.75" wide (and then folded in two) and 11" (or 12") long. That would mean that you could get 3 per piece of felt. Here are the results: I am going to make the rose ones next. They will look so pretty together. Here is the video I am going to try for the rose felt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhIILNFsLr8
