Washi Tape Shadow Box to Display Your Found Treasures
Thursday night my oldest sister arrived from Washington for a few days of creative girl time. After giving her a tour of my favorite shops in the Sellwood neighborhood on Friday, we settled down at the dining room table for an evening of creative exploring. This is what led to me creating a washi tape shadow box!
Washi tape is so much fun to play around with. And it is an easy way to personalize everyday objects and crafts! If you want some more washi tape ideas, make sure to check out my top 10 washi tape projects. Now, on to the creative process for today’s DIY project…
Here’s how it all started. My Friday outing with my sister included going to Collage craft supply store, where I picked up six new rolls of washi tape from their vast selection to add to my collection of greens, blues, and teals. With my sister practicing her zen tangle (she creates amazing frameable “doodles”), I began to “doodle” with the washi tape. A few hours later my creative play became a piece of art, and I knew it was something I wanted to share with you today. So I created a second piece to share my step-by-step crafting process for this washi tape shadow bow!
This project is so fun and simple. It is something you could do with kids. Though I show you how to create this washi tape shadow box with diagonal stripes, you can certainly create it in your own style!
Below is a photo tutorial of my process. I started with an array of washi tape and the Ikea Ribba shadow box frame. I then added some of my favorite shells and corals into my shadow boxes. Go gather the little treasures you would like to display. . . and washi tape doodle with me! ~ Lia

Leave a Commentyes, i’m, i live in Haarlem, in the old historical centre of the town, that’s nearby Amsterdam;-D
I hope you had a nice stay.
It’s mostly dependend in which provincy you were staying.
I have lived in more provincies as well, but now i’m back to my roots.LOL
I had a wonderful stay! I was out on that little Island. . . KNSM Laan. . . and spent most of my time in the canal area and at the art museums. I loved Amsterdam and want to come back soon.
Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss and
would really like to have you share some stories/information.
I know my readers would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
I have thought about it. Possibly in the future.
wooow this is beautiful, and lovely, not only the strips of the washi tape but the colours as well with the shells in front. thank you for your sharing and the greate tute you’ve made.;-D
So happy you like it! By your email address I am guessing you are from the Netherlands? I am heading there on Sunday.
I every time emailed this webpage post page to all my contacts, since if like to read it next
my friends will too.
That’s great! Share the love. 🙂
Divinos. Es posible en español.
Gracias.
Thanks!
I absolutely love these washi tape shadow box. Would you be interested on selling them? Reason I ask is that my sister in law is re-opening her restaurant that was damaged by Sandy here in Ortley Beach, nj. Her theme for the newly renovated restaurant is seaside beach theme. The colors combination and the seashells would be perfect for her wall. Please let me I would love to get them for her as gift. I always love your work.
Thanks Sue. I can make two more for you through my Esty shop. These were shells I have been collecting so I would want to keep them. It would be fun to incorporate shells from that area or I could find some similar to what I used too. Send me an email (lia@liagriffith.com) to talk more details.
Hey Lia, I bought a bunch of your paper flowers and I absolutely love this, too. I’m going to be trying to customize this to fit my wedding, too. If it wasn’t for you, I’d be completely lost. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
Great idea. I would love to see it when you finish! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing.Your work is amazing and you make it so easy for us all!
You are so sweet Helen. 🙂 I am here to inspire.
I have not worked with washi tape. This looks amazing! I really like your choice of colors. The sea treasures add a special touch. Thanks .
Beware. . . it is addicting once you have a place to use them. I just bought another 8 rolls.
Really Nice! Thanks for sharing :).
Thanks Alex!
