So what IS Washi Tape?
Washi Tape is pretty much just Japanese paper tape. Because it's paper, it can have pretty much ANYTHING printed on it, from patterns to words to cartoons, really anything. Its amazing and lovely, and because its so unlimited in what it can have printed on it, you WILL find yourself a roll to compliment any project you're working on if you look.
Things to know:
It's pretty damn strong for being made out of paper, but its not really intended for intense holding. It's more for decoration and crafting. It's not the most adhesive of tapes, but sticks just fine to paper, glass, and even painted surfaces. It feels and functions a lot like masking tape. I wouldn't say with any confidence that its waterproof. It's paper. It's not going to be waterproof. Lastly, it comes in just so many designs, it's impossible to not find something that will suit what you're working on.
Now, Washi tape is Japanese, but it's easily obtainable here as well. You can find it in most craft stores now, but its usually a small selection and overpriced. Here's some of my favorite places to get it with HUGE selections!
Definitely the best selection out there.
There's a million people selling this stuff on Etsy. Shop around for tons of designs. I linked my favorite seller. The picture bellow is my latest order from her!
