Washi what?!


washi tape {masking tape made from washi paper} Japan
1: Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper, and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive  2: Washi comes from wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper, and the term is used to describe paper made by hand in the traditional manner.

If you follow the scrapbooking scene then you know what washi tape is.  If you frequent the stores you have seen it labelled as Trendy Tape.

Whatever you call it and wherever you buy it, it's all the same.  CUTE!

Some inspiring projects

covered light switches

cover vases, candles, etc


Use on scrapbook pages

Kari found a store on Etsy that sells this otherwise expensive new trend for CHEAP!
This lady sells Washi Tape in small amounts for just a few dollars.

This stuff is sooooo cute!
Can't wait....

Never seen it before, but I LOVE the idea! I can just imagine the things I would cover up if I had unlimited washi tape!
