If you are unfamiliar with it, Washi Tape is Japanese masking tape printed on rice paper. It comes in all sorts of yummy colors and patterns. It's repositionable and reusable, so it's perfect for pretty much any kind of crafting application you can imagine.
I finally had a little time to sit down and play with our new batch of tape (plus a few old favorites) and thought I'd show you what I made.
I gussied up some plain pencils with wide washi tape, made some stir sticks for drinks, fancied up a mailing envelope, made a little garland, decorated a gift box, created some gift tags, embellished some ice cream spoons, and made some cupcake flags. Even better, not one of these projects took more than 5 minutes to complete. So fun and simple.
Would you like the chance to play with some new Washi Tape too? Simply leave a comment here telling me what you would do with it! One lucky winner will receive their choice of any one set of our new washi tape duos! Winner will be chosen on Thursday, April 19th at noon(ish) CST.
Best of luck to you!

ReplyDeleteI just love tape! I am anxious to try some of your tape because I've never used Washi tape before. I would decorate lip balm tubes with it to add to my line. Pick me! lol

Goodness, so many lovely options with this fab product!! I would use it to make mini banners for my mantle in celebration of Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI love washi tape. I use it on my handmade cards, I use it to label things, I use it to seal up my glassine bags filled with baked and decorated cookies, I use it when I need a temporary adhesive for something. It's just lovely and I want more of it.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to use Washi tape to decorate some of my baking goodies. I'm a make of cake pops, and the tape would really jazz up the look of my plain ole' pop sticks, and give my over arrangements and real spice up!

ReplyDeleteI would love some washi tape to use in my daily calendar. I saw online where you can put the tape across multiple days and then write on top of it to say what is happening during that time period. It really makes your calendar stand out and look pretty at the same time :)

ReplyDeleteI would add it to my journal, make tiny banners for my girls' bedrooms, and on and on!!!!! I was just looking at the new stuff last night. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm planning a circus themed 1st Birthday party for our B/G twins and Washi tape would be amazing for so many of the DIY projects I'm working on for the big day. If I win, I'd use the Washi tape to embellish the wooden ice cream spoons (purchased from shop sweet lulu of course), the baby food jar vases, the mason jar lemonade glasses, the cotton candy cones, the sweets table cake plates and platters, the high chair banners and the 12 month picture birthday banner. It would also be perfect to make the cake bunting for their 2 little smash cakes!

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try washi tape! I would give some old furniture a colorful makeover if I were to use the washi tape!
ReplyDeleteI use washi tape for packaging. My customers always comment on the gorgeous packages they get. I like them to feel like they are getting a gift in the mail. It's my "thank u" gift to them for their support.
ReplyDeleteI have started hanging my son's art work with it. It comes off easily and allows us to easily create art galleries all over the house!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using Washi tape in your planner; where you use different tape for different events and writing over the tape. The original idea came from here: http://take2theyresmall.com/my-calendar-from-overloaded-to-energized/
ReplyDeleteI would also use the tape for gift wrapping and to seal envelopes filled with mail for friends and family!
i'd make plant markers for my seed starters. thank you for the chance!

I saw an idea on Pinterest to use Washi tape to decorate the individual keys on your laptop keyboard. I love that idea -- adds some color, fun and whimsy to a workspace (:
ReplyDeleteI use it to make packages pretty and my girls love to use it in their artwork.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw someone use it to cover paper mache letters, that would be fun to do!

ReplyDeleteI would use this in photo collage/goals board
ReplyDeleteI love using washi tape for just about anything. I love making mini bunting with it to use on cake. Too fun! Love the new colors!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I would use it in wrapping gifts, around glass jars with some jute string, labeling categories of recipe cards, in my garden for marking my plants and herbs, labeling my homemade biscotti gifts, and use it on my kraft envelopes that I stamp with my return address. The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteI love washi tape! I have been using it to make my student's folders snazzy.
ReplyDeleteI would use it to decorate letters and gifts. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteEverything and anything! I would love to decorate some vases with it.
ReplyDeleteI am using my washi for everything! My favorite is gussying up my mail to friends! :) Always makes the packages and letters a bit more exciting!
ReplyDeleteI am having a laid back wedding and would use it to decorate the centerpiece vases, some around the bottom, othermiddle and othes top. I would use it to decorate the bottom of our transaparent plates, forks, even around the bottom edges of the tablecloths!
ReplyDeleteI am SWOONING over those STRIPES! There are so many pretty uses for washi tape, but the first thing that comes to mind is using it to tape the utensils to the plate at a children's birthday party I have coming up. So much better than expecting those tiny hands to hold it all. While i'm at it, i'll use it to label their cups so they won't get mixed up. I think I could do an entire washi party!
ReplyDeleteLove washi tape! I use it to seal invitations, thank you cards, etc. I would love to win so I can use for flags for cake toppper for my daughters birthday party! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI want to try making some washi tape flowers! I think they would be fun to decorate gifts.
