I know it is crazy snowing in some places. But here in California, the weather has been so nice and warm. The high has been in the 70’s most days this week.
We really need the rain, so hopefully it will be coming next week, but in the meantime, it feels like spring.
Plants are blooming early and birds are chirping like it is May.
So I decided to add some flowers to my desk in the form of Washi Tape.
Here is the stapler before….
Then with a little tape here and there…
And before you know it, my stapler was Spring-a-fied!
Now my home office is a happier place. Do you use washi tape? Â I could go crazy with this stuff. If you use it, let me know what you have made with it in the comments.

Now this is a really cute idea! I love sprucing up office tools!
Raquel says
Thank you Sinea!
Tamara says
Nice! Those office staplers are so hideous. You made it beautiful. I’ve never used Washi tape, but I can see myself having a lot of fun with it.
Raquel says
Thanks Tamara! The tapes is really fun and there are so many patterns and colors!
Ann says
I’ve used Washi Tape a couple of times in making some cards; what a great idea to brighten up your desk. OK, well I think I need to brighten up mine too! Thanks for a great idea, I wonder what else I can use it on……My desk will look so colorful!
Julie says
What a great use of Washi Tape, This would be great at work to stop people “borrowing” my stuff! (apparently the fact my name is sellotaped on is not enough!!!) and my things would be pretty too – win win!
Raquel says
Thanks Julie! I love washi and yes – my hubby won’t be borrowing my stapler now LOL!
Barb says
That stapler looks like it should swagger down the streets! Beautiful. What a difference some washi tape made. I use it to seal letters and cards that I write (I’m a bit of a paper junkie), it adds something a little different to the envelope. Visiting via SITSShare Saturday linkup.
Raquel says
Thanks for your sweet comments Barb!

I love this idea. I was just rummaging around in a drawer the other day when I can across our old stapler just like this one. Now I know what I will be doing this weekend.
Raquel says
Thanks Kimberly!

Hi Raquel! Oh, do I envy you your beautiful weather! I just love this idea and it’s a perfect way for me to brighten up my boring stapler at the office! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing at Best of the Weekend! Hope you have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week!
Karen Schulz says
visiting you from I should be mopping the floor. I love this. My stapler is as boring as yours was – but now look at it. I have not gotten into the tape, but maybe I will need to….
Raquel says
The tape is really addicting Karen…you have been warned 😉
