This video is your complete guide to creating washi tapes for manufacturing! I’ll be sharing a second video all about how to find a certified manufacturer, but first - let’s get designing! In this video, I go through each step, such as:
how to design your own washi tape - tips and tricks
what canvas size to use - including bleed lines!
what programs to use - which work best for each stage
+ how to keep a high resolution in your artwork.
I go through each step on photoshop and how I incorporate procreate into my process. There’s also a free downloadable washi tape template to make the process much easier and precise for you. You can download it from the link above. Let’s get creative!

Omg this information is so useful! Designing washi tape is like climbing a mountain for first-timers. Thank you so much for all the tips😊❤

[@fizzandflourish]

So glad it’s useful! I found it really hard to find info when I started so it’s a video I’ve wanted to make for a while! I tried to share as much info as I could think of 😆😍 good luck designing!

[@AaaaNinja]

Another tip that you haven't mentioned about scaling I thought I would mention: scaling looks nicer if it's halved or doubled, rather than something that isn't a nice clean fraction which contributes to blurring. If you know your final output size, you can make your canvas size twice, or four, or eight times that. Notice how my scale suggestions are an exponent of two.

[@fizzandflourish]

Thanks for the tip! I’m not sure how many times scaled the canvas is exactly, but this is the size recommended by manufacturers so I think it’s as high res as possible. Great tip about it being an exponent of two though - didn’t know that!

[@KatieCannonDesigns]

Good Job Meg thanks for sharing your process.

[@fizzandflourish]

Thanks Katie! Now to get working on the manufacture video! 😆😍

[@user-ip5vr8gi7l]

This was such a helpful video. Looking forward to using the template in the future. ❤

[@fizzandflourish]

Aw I’m so glad you found it useful! ❤️❤️

Thank you! 🤩

RGB is lovely, I agree. It's designed for monitors and screens, uses white as the toner. CMYK you're right dulls, that's because printers use black ink. Pity the printing industry hasn't worked a way to use white instead of black.

[@fizzandflourish]

You're right, you'd think there would be a way by now to print RGB! I just find the colours so much more vibrant. I never knew the white and black ink part though - learn something new every day! Thanks!

[@melinnamba]

Printers can't work in RGB. It's due to physics. There are two diffrent types of colour mixing, addative and subtractive. Addative colour mixing is possible when you add more light to crate colour, i.e. when you put up RGB lighting. You start with black, aka no light as your base colour and add diffrent coloured LEDs to create diffrent colours. However most objects don't emmit light, they can only reflect it. That's where subtractive colour mixing happens. When you are drawing in a sketchbook for example you start with a white page, that's capable of reflecting the whole spectrum. By adding dyes you are restiricting the wavelengths that can be reflected from the page, therefore subtracting light to mix colours. Everthing that dosn't emmit light will never be able to work with an RGB colour profil. And everthing that emmits light can never use CMYK. Technically screens don't use CMYK, they can only approximate it. That's why you should always do hard proofs before commiting to a large print run, there could still be slight diffrences between what you see an screen and what shows up in the finished product, because of the diffrent types of colour mixing. And by the way: The printing industry has worked out a way to pint with white ink. That's why it's possible to print on coloured surfaces. But why would you use white ink to print on white surfaces?

Thanking the Algorith. for letting this video to show up on my suggested videos. I sooo want to do stuff to sell at some point. Stickers, pins and now washitapes too...I just never get around to actually do them lol But this I so wanna try out, at least for myself, so thank you so much for the video

[@fizzandflourish]

Aw I’m so glad the algorithm found you too! I’m going to be posting more tutorial videos like like in the future so keep an eye out! Next video is about manufacturing them and hopefully that will be ready by Monday! I’ve got so many things I want to make too, but they also seem to be things I never get around to! Maybe this year is the year…😆😍

[@LifeLostSoul]

Is there a reason you aren't just using a vector program? Like illustrator So the image can be sized up or down as big or small as possible without losing resolution or becoming pixelated. And if I remember correctly, you could put a pixel image into illustrator and convert it to a vector image.

[@fizzandflourish]

Hey! I’d always thought that you couldn’t achieve the same textured and traditionally realistic look with vector - I could be totally wrong though because the last time I tried was years ago! I always thought vector worked well for certain styles but not when trying to get a traditional look (and when importing paintings etc). But will definitely give it a go if it’s an option 😍

[@SuperCutealien]

Painters also use washi tape. It removes without damaging the paper.

[@fizzandflourish]

Yes you’re totally right! It’s not as sticky as some other tapes so it’s perfect for that 😍

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so much fun ☺☺

[@fizzandflourish]

Yay I’m glad a tutorial can be made fun 😆😍

[@kqxx]

What ipad program did you use for the washi tape? @6:18. ?

[@fizzandflourish]

Photoshop :)
