Bible Journaling: Washi Tape to Cover Bleed-Thru
As a little kid, I loved stickers. I was obsessed with them. There was no sticker that I wouldn't collect. And most of them ended up on my headboard. And half of those ended up in my hair. But I didn't care. Stickers are the bomb! And what is washi tape except one long, pretty sticker?
This is my first attempt at using washi tape, and you can expect more posts to come! This stuff is sticker-tastic fun. You'll find a free "washi tape" printable at the end of this post. Or you can find the washi tape I'm using here.
Today we'll take a look at how to cover bleed-thru with washi tape. If you've ever used markers or paints in your Bible only to flip the page over and find your art has leaked through, then this is the post for you!
Step 1: Locate the offending page and begin cutting strips of tape to fit over the bleed-thru. I wasn't worried about getting them all perfectly straight or exactly the same size. I kind of like the messy look. It's like a messy bun for your Bible.
Step 2: That's all. There is no step 2! You just cover it up! How easy was THAT? And it's cute and pretty and effortless. The end.
Okay not the end. I actually decided to add some words over my washi tape, cuz hey, I like words. And words in the Bible are pretty important. So, I printed out a few words from a pretty great verse and cut around them, gluing them over the washi tape.
All done!
And there you go! A beautiful, colorful, quick fix for bleed-thru in your Bible! I was hesitant to give washi tape a try, but I'm so glad I did! And I think you'll like it, too!
