How To Easy Washi Tape Flags
Using Washi Tape flags is one of my favorite ways to embellish cupcakes, and making them is super easy. Simply lay a toothpick on a roll of wash tape, fold the tape over onto itself, and then cut. Then, fold the ends together and snip a little “V” going towards the toothpick so that you get a flag at the end with the same angles and lengths!
