Nothing wishi-woshi about washi tape







I have known of washi tape for a while, but it was a ps-mhe kind of thing for me. I have now rediscovered it and think it is so cool! I suddenly appreciate paper stuff, origami, envelope making (which I used to do when little), present wrapping, etc. It is funny how one changes. (Also, years ago I preferred to staple the bottom of my trousers to get close to a needle and look at me now!)




So, I got some of this tape, which not only is great because of its lovely designs, but because it can be used on glass, paper, etc and its low tack means you can take it off if you make a mistake without tearing the paper underneath.

My first project with the tape was to make this rather dull notebook from Muji into something a bit more interesting. Those that know me know how much I like Muji....


And so I put the tapes in rows. And don't you think it is quite an improvement?


Here is a bit more detail. I can think of lots of ideas for using this tape, specially since the time for sending lots of cards and wrapping presents is just round the corner....



Have you done or going to do anything crafty or creative today?

Awesome! I love washi tape. I hope to buy some more soon because I only have pretty colid coloured ones at the moment. :-)
