What is washi tape?
Washi tape is a decorative tape made from traditional Japanese paper, known as Washi. Washi is made from natural fibres such as bamboo and hemp. Washi tapes are known for their colourful and distinctive designs and are often used for scrapbooking and journaling. Washi tape is easy to tear by hand, making it convenient to use without scissors. It is removable and repositionable, making it great for decorating your notebook, bullet journal or scrapbook.
What is the difference between washi tape and masking tape?
Unlike washi tape, masking tape is usually not designed for decoration and, as the name suggests, its purpose is to mask artworks. This way, you can create a beautiful frame around your artworks by first creating a canvas with masking tape and then removing it once the paint has dried.
Is washi tape reusable?
Washi tape is removable and repositionable, but not infinitely reusable. You can move it several times without it completely losing its stickiness, ideal for experimenting with your layout before sticking it down permanently.
Does washi tape leave marks on paper or walls?
No, washi tape is specially designed not to leave adhesive residue on most surfaces, such as paper, wood and wallpaper. However, be careful with sensitive surfaces and do not remove the tape too long after sticking it on.
Which washi tape width should I choose for my bullet journal?
For outlining headings and creating tabs, a narrow washi tape (5-10mm) works best. For decorating entire pages or creating a border, you should use a wider washi tape (15mm or more).
Decorations for your bullet journal/planner
Are you looking for creative ways to add more colour and decoration to your bullet journal or planner? Then washi tape is the perfect solution! Washi tape is not only functional, but also incredibly fun to use.
With washi tape, you can easily decorate and personalise your bullet journal or planner. There are countless prints and designs available, allowing you to create your own unique style. Use washi tape to decorate the edges of your pages, create tabs or add extra colour to your most important notes.
It's also fun to choose special themed washi tapes. For example, think of cozy, autumnal washi tape for your planner or journal or bullet journal to completely immerse yourself in autumn! Of course, there are many more fun themes such as spring, Christmas or Halloween.
Wrapping gifts
Wrapping gifts becomes much more fun and personal with the use of washi tape. This decorative tape comes in all sorts of colours and patterns, allowing you to vary endlessly and give your gifts a unique look. To brighten up your gifts, you can use strips of washi tape as decoration. For example, wrap a thin strip of tape diagonally around the wrapping paper for a subtle accent. Or go for a striking effect by using multiple colours and patterns mixed together. You can also make bows from washi tape and attach them to the gift for an extra festive effect.
