This is an idea I wrote down a while ago in my craft journal. It's been so long since I came up with the idea that I'm not even sure what made me think of it. I suspect I was brainstorming things I could make with Japanese masking tape but who really knows. Anyhow, these twist ties are super easy to make. I think they would be great for favors, especially if you have a specific color theme.Supplies:
Japanese Masking Tape
Wire
Wire Cutter
Pinking Shears
Cut a piece of tape to the length you want your twist tie. Place on table, sticky side up.
Cut a piece of wire slightly shorter than your tape. Place in center of tape.
Place another piece of tape on top, sticky sides together.
Trim twist tie with pinking shears or regular scissors. Done.

Oh my gosh this is such a clever idea! I think I'm going to have to make a whole lot of these!
Those ties are cute! I may have to look into purchasing some of this tape.
This is so great! And so simple. I really need to get myself some of that tape. But I'd imagine I could do it with double stick tape and ribbon as well...use up some of my ribbon stash.
Thanks!
