Washi tape is a staple for bullet journals and no kit is complete without a set of washi!
Washi tape for journaling
If you like to do art or junk journals, then washi can be your ally, being used as painter's tape or masking tape for clean edges on your paper.
You can also integrate it into your layouts by creating patterns and textures using your washi.
Washi tape for gift wrapping
Adding a splash of colour to your gift wrapping can be a great detail. It’s also very important to know that since washi can be repositioned, people often save the little bits of washi and reuse them in their journals or for other gifts (it is a great improvement from cello tape).
Washi tape for painting
Have you ever watched those satisfying masking tape peeling videos on Instagram? Did you notice most of them use washi tape? Painter's tape can be harsh on paper, so a lot of artists began experimenting with washi tape to get clean edges on their pieces.
Especially, washi tape for watercolour artists is the key to clean edges. This kind of tape is a lot less harsh on the paper surface, preventing paper tearing.
Washi tape for walls
This was a use that we were both surprised and amazed by! Of course, you can use washi tape to hang pictures on your wall or bedroom door, but how about making a nice design on a wall using washi tape? That’s new!
Washi tape for envelopes
Treating every envelope that leaves your house as a planner spread is a form of art that has taken off lately, bringing a whole new level to envelope design and customization.
You can of course use washi tape to seal envelopes, but also to embellish them and turn them into a work of art! Not only washi can be used, but various forms of stencils and stamps to create a special look for the envelopes. Use watercolour for an extra pop of colour and flair!
