I have had a long love affair with DIY jewelry. I’ve made Glitter Watches, Clay Rings, and Wooden Bracelets.
This month Oriental Trading Company challenged us to create something with colorful patterned Washi Tape and I knew I wanted to use the tape for another DIY jewelry piece! Today I am sharing how to use fun washi tape to create Striped Washi Tape Bangles.
This is a project that I immediately fell in love with. Oriental Trading’s wooden bangles are such great quality. I didn’t have to sand them at all, they were ready to use right out of the box.
Another plus for me, was how just a few supplies are needed to create such colorful and modern looking jewelry.
What supplies do you need for color block bracelets?
- Wooden Bracelets
- Paint + Paint Brush
- Washi Tape
I love wearing these bangles individually but when worn together as a set of three, it makes quite a bold fashion statement!
How to make color block bracelets
First pick your paint and washi tapes all with cheerful colors. Begin to wrap the wooden bracelet at various spots around the bracelet with your tape.
My tapes were purple and white check and white and bright pink stripes.
Next up is adding the color block paint details.
You can use washi tape to help keep your lines crisp and straight just like you would with painter’s tape. Apply two lines of tape on each end of the desired paint area. Be sure to push those edges down well. Then paint away! Before the paint has dried, remove the tape for a clean line.
In some sections of the bracelet color blocks, I added gold stripes for a fun twist.

Great bracelets! Totally doesn’t look like washi tape. Very pretty and perfect for spring! Visiting from Tutorials and Tips.
Thanks so much, Victoria! They were fun to create. 😉
Can’t believe these are just made with washi tape! When I first saw them I thought you painted them. Such a fun and easy project!
The tape adds a fun pattern to the bracelets, for sure! And I added sealer on the inside so the tape hasn’t come off.
These are the cutest Amy!
Thanks so much, Tan!
