3 Sets of different colored earrings are hanging from a wooden skewer. Rolls of washi tape can be seen in the background.Make some bright colorful washi tape earrings quickly and easily using recycled plastic. With different washi tape you can customize them to any colors you want!

I wanted to have a go at making some more of my own earrings and I wanted them to be easy to make. In the past I have made some using milk bottle plastic and tomato sauce bottle plastic but I wanted to make some that were bright and multi-colored!

I was looking online for inspiration when I came across this link (sorry link is broken now 🙁 ) that used card stock and washi tape to make some pretty nice earrings. So I decided to apply the same idea but instead of using cardstock I used recycled plastic.

Two earrings decorated with pink, purple, and white zig zag patterned washi tape are pictured hanging from a wooden skewer. For two of my designs I used an old (clean) plastic take away container and for the other I used an old plastic soft drink bottle. I covered a section of plastic with strips of washi tape (front and back) and then cut the plastic up into the shapes that I wanted. I was really quite easy you can make squares, rectangles or even circles if you are game!

A pair of earrings is pictured lying on brown paper. They are decorated with zig zag washi tape in shades of blue. Rolls of washi tape can also be seen.

Then I used a hole punch to make holes in the top and attached jump rings and earring hooks. I think that they look really cute and they are so quick and easy to make. They are perfect for casual summer outings where you want to add some colorful accessories but don’t want to wear something too flashy.

A pair of earrings decorated with blue and white washi tape is pictured hanging from the side of a white coffee mug.Also the number of earrings you can make with washi tape is endless! I haven’t got any holiday themed washi tape but if you did you could easily make Christmas earrings, Easter earrings, or even St Patrick’s Day washi tape earrings!

I know that I will be checking out the local craft store for some more colorful washi tape designs very soon!

    Do you use any sort of sealant to your washi tape earrings such as modpodge or minwax? Like your ideas, made some myself. Thanks!

      No I didn’t use any sealant with these earrings Jeannie but you could if you wanted to. Actually I have noticed that some brands of washi tape stick better than others so sealing them with modpodge would probably be a good idea. Thankfully the washi tape that I used with these earrings hasn’t peeled at all so far!

    How did you cut the plastic and how did you keep it straight?

      I used thin plastic Stephanie, so I was able to cut it with regular scissors. As for how I kept it straight, I’m assuming you mean flat? The flat designs were made using the flat sides of a rectangular takeaway container. I hope this helps!
