Washi Tape/Ribbon Storage Book Tutorial

[@arizonahippiechic]

I made one of these books because I don't have a lot of room for bigger storage anymore in my craft area so I found this to be so cute and way useful with all the assortment of things you can add to it! I have all my washi tapes both purchased and made in it and a ton of ribbons and trims and even some paper strips. I keep the bulk of the items stored in my attic and when my book runs out I can go up and get some more to put in it! Great idea! So glad you did this video!!

[@CalcioDramatica]

This is fabulous!!!! You'd never know by looking at it that it all started with a pill box! Love it!

[@Anniestamper]

Wow Jennie, another fabulous video, so easy to follow and inspirational. Can see lots of uses for this and maybe a way to tidy up that big box of very untidy ribbons and lace I have. Thanks xx

[@sixtiesmusiclover58]

You make everything so easy ! It is such a pleasure seeing your work thank you very much

[@sandiwedemeier4853]

Jennibellie...I just wanted to let you know that I think this is brilliant. I've been wanting a quick and simple way to use boxes pitched in the recycling bin and you've come up with my solution! thank you for posting this viddy!

[@newtrudythings]

Bookbinding always seemed to be so difficult and 'insider-like' and you make it look like a very fun and easy thing to do! I have actually almost finished my version of this booklet, but I wonder if the middle signature shouldn't be stuck into INSIDE FIRST and not the other way around. Also: I think this would be a wonderfull math project. Would raise lots of questions and puzzling, but in the end, no one would lose. Thanks for making seemingly heavy things so much more easy.

[@MsJoyceG]

Just found you. I'm a late bloomer and love, love your talent. Love the make the book from a box idea. Simplifies having to much "stuff" around. ... chipboard and the like. Thanks tons for sharing. ~~~Joyce

[@colleenhathaway64]

I absolutely adore all of your videos and I LOVE your accent! You are an amazing artist and I am very inspired by what you do! Please keep up all the great work!

[@narlesnave]

Wonderful & very creative video...the storage book is fabulous...love watching you!!!!

[@stephanieprice8247]

That's really cool I love the colors and design of the book. Kudos for recycling as well!

[@therealbarbi]

Thank you for the great video. I will definitely try making one of these. I am always looking for more storage ideas and this one is excellent! I love the fact that I can use these cereal boxes that I keep hoarding (so I can eventually use them for my crafting of course... lol).

[@mandywooding524]

I love this book and have spent the evening making one (did not know what washi tape was before today either!) - it occured to me that rather than using waxpaper (that i did not have) and glue that using double sided tape and not removing the backing would work - it seems ok so far - also as i only had paper gold adhesive photo corners I decided to glue them on before sticking in the front papers - this covered more of the ugly self adhesive black back. love love love your tutorials x thank you

[@ElizabethKilbride]

What a cute idea. Thanks Would have never thought to do such a thing, but I love the concept.

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Wow Jennibellie - think how many migraines could be recycled as these beautiful little books lol! I love this project! I simply must stop throwing things away... Love your Washi tapes too. Really pretty! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous project. Shoshi

[@CraftyGirl5146]

so the wax paper keeps the washi tape sticky? I guess all my washi tape is in rolls already so not sure if I would you this idea for washi tape but definitely for fibers and ribbons. Great video!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Lol Jennibellie! I thought of you in the small hours this morning when I reached urgently for my migraine tablets... Must save the empty box!! Shoshi

[@ChelleBeeby]

Oh my gosh, I need to make one, I'm only just starting with Washi (yes, last person on the planet as per usual) and I bought a set on all these little wooden reels, super cute, but pain the rear to store... so.... DA DA! I needz to make one of these super cute little books! TY so much again, always you blow me away - happy holiday too and cannot wait to see the washi tape tut!

[@juliann031388]

I love your videos! I just found you recently and I'm going back and watching all of your videos. Love all of them you are so talented : )

[@jennibellie]

awww thank you, glad you enjoyed =D thanks for watching x

[@CreacionesIzzy]

Todo lo que haces es hermoso, acabo de encontrarme con tu canal y llevo horas viendo tus videos son geniales.

[@mapdtuber]

really nicely done! you do beautiful workmanship. Thanks for the inspirations - I have several videos downloaded to RealPlayer and in my Evernote for when I have no internet.. Great stuff you do here. Keep up the great works of love :)

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Saw a video where someone pulled tape out of a book like this and I was distracted from the video! The creator was kind enough to tell me about this video. Love these washi books.

[@Ikimification]

That was utterly amazing!! Thank you for showing us this idea!

[@edith2535]

Absolute geniusness!!!! I think this is brilliant.

[@cknlittle1]

Jennie- your books are so beautiful. Your colors and materials go together so well- and are uniquely you. I have problems with bubbles under the papers and bowed pages even after using a bone folder. What is your secret for keeping your pages so flat? do you weigh them?

[@jennibellie]

Hi Christine, it's a crop-a-dile 3 =) thanks for watching glad you liked it =) x

[@Fancylooks]

Absolutely and completely beautiful!

[@jennibellie]

Hi arizonahippiechic, yeah I'm space-ally challenged too so have to be craft about my solutions, so glad you enjoyed the video & made a book =) much love xxx

[@Mumugrrl]

How cute are these?!!! Adorable!

[@sallyallen7869]

love this...very creative and wonderful..thnxs for your instructions

[@jennibellie]

lol thanks Barbi, glad you liked it =) I'm not a hoarder either, just someone who sees the potential in probably too many things lol thanks for watching x

[@cknlittle1]

Thank you- I notice on some projects you use glue stick, liquid glue and double-sided tape. I have never seen that done and it is a great idea!

[@jennibellie]

hiya, thank you :) the by definition of the tape it shouldn't lift off as masking tape is designed not to remove anything underneath it & it's never removed any of mine but I think it also helps buying a tape with a porous (non-waxy I call it in the video) surface tape - that way the paint sinks into the surface of the tape, rather than sits upon it, therefore it's there for good. Hope that helps :) x

[@jennibellie]

you're welcome =) glad you enjoyed it xoxo

[@colleenturner1556]

what an awesome idea for all day crops or a weekend! thank you!

[@EvangeliseGood]

What a brilliant tutorial, just found you and love your videos, pls can you tell me what you did with the metal corners was that a edger tool you used on them? Thanks so much.

[@jennibellie]

Hi cknlittle1, no I don't weight them but they are quite think papers so that may help. I also think using two kinds of glue helps - the wet glue seems to act as a 'moveable' agent to the dry glue - which once sets has a permanent effect. Also I cover every single mm of the paper with glue, I've always been a bit ott with glue but I really think it means there is no room for bubbles to form. Hope I've helped :) xx

[@AngieHolden]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@LibraMoonScorpioSun]

Okay, this is starting to get weird. I just made tape using the wrapping paper from the zine I rec'd today. You are becoming supernatural. ☺Thanks for the tip...can't wait to make this. Enjoy your vacation! Adriann

[@IzzyBeeCrafts]

What a lovely idea! I've made a slightly different holder for my washi tapes (which I posted a video tutorial for on my channel) but I think I'm going to make one of these to keep my ribbon in - I've got loads of short pieces currently stuffed in a box, and this would be a perfect way of displaying them so I can see them all :)

[@beckysteffens3976]

So fun!! I must make one of my own!!

[@dianapease7243]

Love it. Thanks for creating and sharing.

[@jennibellie]

you're welcome, thanks for letting me know - makes me happy :)

[@karenpruz]

How do you keep the tape from lifting off the paint on itself as you peel it? Do you seal it with something? By the way.....amazing videos....you are so talented.

[@DharmaWorkChannel]

Your tape and book are broth brilliant. I do have a question. You used watercolor to make some of your tapes. Doesn't that smear? Or come up when you remove the layer of tape over it? Thanks!

[@rodrigomafra1645]

hi Jennibelle, love all your inspiring ideas and also the soundtrack, who is it? thanks

[@lionpaw55]

Okay...I will never come out of my scraproom again! Just send food, water, soap, and a bucket! LOL Enjoy your vacation....I'll be pretty busy while you are gone! Tfs Hugs and much love~Lisa

thank you, glad you enjoyed =D thanks for watching x

[@hudsonsailor54]

love your videos enjoy your holiday

[@Majjie24]

Great video, well done! You make things look so easy. How long did it take you to make this little booklet? if you don't mind me asking? I love things made out of recylcled cardboard. I keep most of my boxes & anything else I think may come in handy for this same reason. Keep up the great work Jennibellie. *(ha ha I'm Jenn & my darling puppy is Belle)* close, well almost

[@jennibellie]

haha you sound excited, hope you enjoy making it much love xx

[@angel292005]

[@Joke1958]

[@susanjones7872]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@kehlenn1]

Terrific as usual!

[@jennibellie]

Hi Joyce, thanks so much =) I'm afraid it's a double-edged sword - when you see everything as something you can make something out of you tend to collect more and more stuff lol so I wish I could say it's limits what you have around but unless you use it promptly you end up building quite a collection haha which is both a blessing and not sometimes. Thanks for watching, much love xx

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

This is gorgeous!! Thanks!!

[@eklipsnoiredinence]

^Thank you very much for this tutorial! I really like the idea that you can still add more signatures to the book if needed, even after finishing the book, as long as it fits in - it's an evolutive book! :)

[@jennibellie]

thanks Sandi I'm glad you enjoyed =) thanks for watching happy new year to you =D

[@jennibellie]

Aww thanks juka9206 for your sweet message, pleased I could make you feel that way and I hope you enjoyed your well-earned crafting treat =)

[@slavicavucinic4056]

GREAT video!Thanks for sharing!

[@jennibellie]

thank you glad you enjoyed it =)

[@craftymouse]

Where do you get the corners for your books, and what do you use to attach them?

[@WhichCraftDoYouDo]

beautiful!!

[@melindadoran9620]

Great idea! TFS 🌸

[@kerriemortimer121]

Can you do this with tracing paper instead of wax paper?

[@jennibellie]

you're welcome x

[@jennibellie]

lol @ you and your pups name, very cute =D I can't remember exactly how long it took to be honest it was quite a while ago now that I made them, I think may be an hour? It takes longer than a normal book because of the cutting and prepping of the papers with wax paper but I'd guestimate an hour or so, hope that helps =D

[@paintingstars]

Just so yummy!! Ahhhhhh!!!!! Can't wait to watch how you create your washi tape!!! xoxo Wendy

[@jennibellie]

Lol I think that's subliminally why I used those boxes - make something good out of something not lol cheap therapy! thanks huns =) xx

[@Dream_M1]

Love this!

[@jennibellie]

thanks so much steelblueeyes :) xx

[@angelaoneal5676]

Wonderful!

[@jennibellie]

haha great minds...now you've put the 'du der du der' x files music in my head lol xxx

[@kandaceellis318]

Love your tutorials, your an amazing artist! Are you selling these washi tape storage books??? If so I would love to buy a couple (with your homemade washi tape or without) .. If your willing to sell let me know just PM me..thanks!

[@KittehNow]

Beautiful

[@dianepierson4687]

Excellent!

[@jennibellie]

Hi it depends what kind of paint and tape you have usually they are compatible but if you get a tape that has a waxy surface to it then yes the paint will come off, but I haven't had any smearing so far. Thanks for watching happy new year to you =D

[@hipretty]

beautiful!

[@jennibellie]

thank you xx

[@L0vFunnieThings]

Brilliant!

[@jennibellie]

thanks

[@jennibellie]

thanks x

[@bellalutz7213]

Where do u get all of this stuff

[@sherryfingerlin7595]

Brilliant.

[@jennibellie]

I'd test it with tape before putting it in the book ie see if it comes off easy enough if so then yeah should work fine. What about greaseproof paper that's used for baking? They should have that in supermarkets & should work as well =) thanks for watching x

[@joglover8391]

Very cool

[@jennibellie]

you're welcome :)

[@jennibellie]

thanks Jo =)
