Washi Tapes

Washi Tapes are a kind of tapes made from a special material—Washi paper. As Washi papers are made in a Japanese style, those tapes are originally from Japan. They were first created mostly for the purpose of keeping oil paint in place as plasterers applied the colors. However, some people with creative hearts—crafters, let’s say—discovered some possible usages of Washi tapes. Thus, they took a trip to the factory that made Washi tapes, and suggested that colors and various patterns could be printed on those tapes. Therefore, this whole industry was changed and the Washi tapes we see in the present were created.

There are countless kinds of Washi tapes we can find in different shops and stores. Whole-colored Washi tapes are the basic ones people turn to as beginners. They can either be used on their own or together with other ones to create various collages. Washi tapes with geometric patterns are also common purchases. A great way to use them is decorating walls by arranging them in proper orders and positions. Through this, your creativity can be expressed, and they are absolutely cheaper than real wall papers. If you are a stationary addict, then GOOD NEWS! You will definitely love those beautiful Washi tapes with little pieces of patterns or artworks printed on them.

 

Washi tapes are simply something crafters cannot turn down. They are one of the best companions for you if you are interested in crafts!
