Best washi tape tutorial I've watched. Subscribed

[@danaalkhmis8333]

How do we stick it ?

[@ivanatubic5322]

great idea, thank you. What did you use for bonding tapes?

[@mettenorheim2329]

Thanks for sharing a great and easy way to make washitape 🤩 It's not a lot of different types of washi to choose from here in Norway But now I can make my own 🥰

[@scrapcrafter75]

This is awesome! I love it. I never want to buy washi tape because I don't think I will use the full roll. I don't want all of my projects looking the same. So this is perfect for making just what you need!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Cool idea. Another method is to use white fabric first aid tape or paper tape and using alcohol inks or even stamping a pattern onto the tape to decorate it. Sharpies would be perfect if you want to write words or draw doodles. There’s no need to immerse in water, scrape off paper and in most cases, it isn’t necessary to add more adhesive. In truth, you’re likely to want to reduce the adhesive a bit.You can reduce the tackiness by sticking the dry tape to your skin a few times. If you go too far, you can use an adhesive roller to reapply adhesive but the tape won’t be moveable like real washi tape. An alternative but pricier option is to use the kind of adhesive that is low tack and formulated to be movable.

[@barbaragreve4957]

Thank you so much. What a great idea!

[@paintnknitter]

Great tutorial! Thank you. I made some tape today and it is amazing how it works. It is nice to use the same papers in the project for the tape. I used the tape runner to adhere it to the project.

[@mademoisellegala]

I used this technique to do stickers, I never imagined that I can do washitape XD Thank you ♡

[@VirginiaDeb1]

I like this technique. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@tuaparulian4975]

very good demonstration, thanks for sharing

[@sweetpuppy120489]

I love the idea of this technique! But will regular school glue can adhere the washi tape? I am quite cheap... So I dont usually buy those adhesive because I felt it is expensive and I dont do craft that much to buy it.

[@47bettie]

Thank you for sharing that's a great idea! Liz...

[@montrealstars60]

What a great tutorial, thanks for sharing!

[@rosanasereiboth83]

I don't have any Scotch tape like u what can I use instead of that tape? Place tell me

[@helenabiju7291]

great tutorial but how do you stick it on papee

[@starlord4440]

Helena Biju you have to glue it on i think?

[@maryannedozois2097]

that is awesome, I'm goingtry it. I don't have but two rolls of washi tape. thank you for the video.

[@_aiko020]

Woe this is so awesome!! I can't buy washi tape because my mom always says no. I love this video!!! So helpful! :-)

[@LabbyLabrier]

I used to have your pic as my profile pic.

[@magikdust2095]

Because this paper is double sided, and thicker, would it work to put the scotch tape on both sides, and then pull them apart from the middle after they've been in the water? I would think it might work, because each side has patterns, but the middle is still just plain white...

[@dianjiang4540]

How is it going to stick?

[@altheabii]

what tape did you use again?

[@lleslieeh]

I don't have tape what other thing should I put?

[@afreen.]

Does it stick?.....i mean do we have to apply glue?

[@21cool23]

Does it stick?

[@goinggreenandsavingtheworl3872]

Washi tape is recyclable! (Which makes me love it even more!)

[@sandeepsingh3806]

Can you also use masking tape?

[@SaraBeauty-kh5vp]

[@sixtiesmusiclover58]

[@neptunevlogs7152]

do you have to use scotch tape

[@lbchristensen8732]

what a great idea, thank you

[@dollysnails5493]

How can i make it sticky ?!

[@b.creativeworkshopbyfranci6859]

Hi Becky. Just curious. Is there a way to make a small roll of it so you don't have to keep making the one you like repetitively?

[@ambermostowyj9398]

can you use any paper and draw on it than put the tap on? and instead of putting adhesive on, can you just put on double sided tape, or just glue it?

[@goodness9400]

Double sided tape is more convenient .

[@tuaparulian4975]

true, but she says she wants to achieve that transparent look that washi tape has, so I guess it really depends on what we want to get.

[@realrobertsmith-d8i]

How does it stick though?

[@ohanniehaha]

can you use a different tape?

[@estelyssajewel]

Hi Beckie! I'm wondering if I could use a non-flat or slightly rough surfaced paper for eg. embossed or glitter paper? And does this technique work on a normal tape as well? Btw this is such a great tutorial.. TYFS!! :)

[@miss.crafty6597]

can we use paper instead of the one you just used and great job by the way

[@marinaboules4624]

Can we just use construction paper

[@arturcunha8393]

U also make Washi tape with scrap paper and two sided tape

[@mz.chocolate1740]

I know I'm late but is this paper still available?

[@_aiko020]

[@agila1313]

[@_aiko020]

[@lapoe4429]

[@angeljadebautista8668]

what is the needs

[@malihaaneeqa2343]

how to stick it on the paper?? should i use glue or smthng else??

[@estelyssajewel]

You can actually use a double sided tape besides the one used in the video :)

[@phuonglinhnguyen1434]

no don't use glue

[@Krenzer99]

That is so cool!

[@renewalof48]

This is good information.

[@elizabethann1828]

but how do u stick it .the stick goes off right?

[@vanessafong9443]

you can use double side tape :)

[@CardiffCrafter]

Did you not watch the whole video ?!? She tells you how to adhere it

[@preethis2939]

Can we use a normal tape?!

[@Jannat.Javaid]

How does it stick

[@rallyvw9264]

Puppylover023 Queen of the world You need to use some type of adhesive to attach to you the paper once you have made the washi tape. I used a double sided adhesive called Tombow but you can use any type of glue or tape that won't show through.

[@Tschij]

Great idea! Thank you for sharing! Must it be a scotch or can I use another tape? Many greetings, Tschij ;-)

[@joannedonovan9489]

That's cool! Thank you!

[@vanessafong9443]

how about another paper? I'm using print paper and wrapping paper but it doesn't work

[@nicholety3467]

Thanks foelr everything!!!

[@melodyshush7660]

I dont have any store near me that sells card stock what can I use

[@winniecheng2720]

Print a a pattern, cut out a strip of the pattern, then cover the front with tape, then soak it in water for about 6 hours. After that rub off the paper and now you have decorated washi tape

[@Sugarplum2525]

Does it work with white paper

[@natashia4891]

Yes

[@abdulezan6166]

this helped a lot thank u soooooo much

[@usagitali]

[@yonacarmentorres3849]

[@lotreynes9036]

[@katherinehaught7950]

Do you know the difference between "transparent" & "translucent".

[@starlord4440]

Kathrine Haught actually, it is transparent.

[@peacestartswithin]

Hey great vid but you kept saying transparent but transparent means u can see all the easy through what I think you mean is translucent im(I'm not trying to be rude at all ) but thanks this video helps alot

[@kayleebrown4683]

transparent is when u can transfer one thing to something else like for instence making a transparent shirt use transparent paper then u can peel it of and it sticks on the shirt thts the same thing with washi tape

No its not transparent means u can c all da way through it

[@oliviamaxwell3699]

best

[@eduardoortiz3572]

it tape like washi tape

[@taylornorris3729]

UM HOW IS THAT STICKY?

[@jessr.8317]

No, when it's completely dried, it is sticky

[@c.c123wwe6]

I'm sorry that YOU TALK TO MUCH

[@supernova6354]

Dion Hudson well, I'm sorry that you didn't know of something called a MUTE BUTTON And, it's 'too', not 'to', smartie.

[@ingridvega483]

That does not look cool

[@c.c123wwe6]

BISH WHET!

[@zieglersass8904]

washi tape is supposed to be sticky dummy

[@sarahthenerd]

2 things, first of all you don't need to mention your products and merchandise every 5 seconds and second all of this stuff you need costs a lot more than a 2$ roll of washi tape from Wal-Mart. Honestly just buy it. ****opinion****

[@lorirogers5356]

I don't have tape what else could I use

[@catherineearnshaw8973]

Is it possible to use a regular tape?

[@nehamalik1977]

[@azkaa.z9385]

ok thanks
