Those of you who have been following me here for a while, or over on Insta, will know I am slightly addicted to stationary. I have a sizeable plastic tub in which I store all sorts of pretty gift wrap, gift cards, ribbons, twine, markers, and a truck load of washi tape. I LOVE washi tape!! What’s not to love about washi? If you’re not a convert yet, you will be soon!

Here are 3 reasons why I love washi:

  1. It is easy to be creative with washi and for crafty-challenged mums like myself, it makes me feel like I am oh-so-clever.
  1. It peels off easily from walls, without leaving a mark. Most washi tapes are strong, and functional as well as pretty, making them wonderful for practical as well as decorative use.
  1. There are SO many things you can do with washi, but it’s slightly addictive. You’ve been warned.

    Washi tape comes in all shapes, sizes and colours!

However, most washi tapes are strong, and functional as well as pretty, making them wonderful for practical as well as decorative use. The only downside is that it’s slightly addictive.
