What's up with the washi tape?!

We're almost two weeks into the new year (how did that happen?) and every year around this time, I find this extra little bit of motivation where I ponder, 'Hey, how can everything I do be easier, prettier, and more fun?' This answer: Washi tape. Washi tape is an acid-free, subtly sticky, decorative paper tape. You may be thinking, 'Wait, what the heck am I suppose to do with that beautiful tape, and how is it suppose to make anything easier, prettier, or more fun?' Well friends, I've done a washi tape round up. Here are some of my favorite ways to add a little color to the everyday.

 Above (clockwise from left): Add washi to a planter for an extra bit of color. // Washi tape garlands are the cutest, just fold the sticky sides together over some string and trim the ends. You could use a couple of colors to match a theme or go wild and do one of every roll you've got. // Add washi tape to your keys and instantly become more organized. // Who knew keeping that soup can from lunch would look so good and keep your desk organized too? // Never let your charger go rogue again, and know what you're plugging in by color coordinating your chords. 

   

Make your very own washi tape stickers. Put 'em on your notebooks like this photo, or stick 'em where ever you want. Just place a few pieces of tape of waxed paper, cut out your shape of choice. DIY stickers!

 
Washi tape is a great alternative to a traditional picture frame. It's totally removable too, and without any holes in the walls. It's also pretty fantastic for kiddos' artwork.
 
How adorable are these washi windows? Such a fun way to create a big impact on these white walls. Other ideas: washi furniture or light fixtures, patterns like stripes, dots, chevron, swiss-cross or triangles or kiddo washi tape art!

Use washi tape for marking your drink! 
 

Make your in-case-the-power-goes-out tea lights extra-special. Add a quick strip to the side and fold the extra sticky bits over the bottom. Then wait for the power to actually go out sometime so that you can spread them all over your house!

And last but certainly not least, you should probably washi tape your car.


So, who's excited? We have tons of washi tape at the shop right now (patterned, solid, and even glitter). Come stop by and we'll show you the whole washi stash!
