5 Ways to Use Washi Tape!

[@hota2hota]

A tip for anyone with tons of Washi tape looking for organization ideas... I found that the Muji 4 tier acrylic glasses storage case is a great way to stack and display rolls of washi. :)

Video ideas for washi: 1) brands that are easy to write on. 2) special reflective images (looks like gold) 3) signs your washi is to old(other ways to use washi when it will not stick due to age) 4) how to use washi as a barrier, when painting. 5) cutting images out of washi tape, and washi tape on canvas. 6) fixing curling washi(when you can not replace the tape) 7) fun ways to add washi to origami 8) best way to peal and place washi stickers. Designers of washi stickers. 9) gadgets you can use to make washi tape fun, easy 10) diffrent types of washi: hilighting tape, words planner specific washi, holiday washi, diffrent finishes, washi with reflective areas. Love this video. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Hi Daisy, only you could get a guy like me to watch a 21 minute video on 6, not 5, ways to use washi tape. You are such an excellent presenter. Always so very organized and of course your subject matter expertise is second to none. I may get my wife some with my next order from Yoseka. Keep up the great work. Phil😘

We all need a hubby like you

[@lead-dog]

@@potandpens Ahhh! Thank you. Have a great day.

Thanks for this video! I also like to use skinny washi tape vertically in my planner, to make divisions/columns/boxes on the page. Bonus cutting method: if you don't have a washi cutter, hold down the washi on your page with a metal ruler and tear along the ruler's edge!

I have a rather, ahem, extensive washi tape collection and have decided to make this year a no-new-washi one so I can use up some of my stash. Would love to see a video about how people store their washi (and stickers and other stationery items)! I’m always looking for fun ideas!

[@hota2hota]

I had the same problem! I found that the Muji 4 tier clear acrylic glasses storage drawer box fits washi tape rolls. Best part is that I can see which rolls are in each drawer if I need them!

[@regina5689]

I have a lot of washi and I store it in a make case (train case). And a Caboddle makeup case

[@tbayless8324]

I have a Parker Jotter XL ballpoint pen and mine is slippery where you hold it at the end, because it is metal, so that is where the Washi tape comes in handy, making a decorative grip at the end. It works so well and I found some black with lines that meshs so well with the pen.

[@Zaguzah]

Very clever!

[@tbayless8324]

I try-- I had to do something because I really disliked writing with the pen. Now it's great. @@Zaguzah

I love using washi in my journals and planners. I also use them around the house anywhere I might use masking tape. For example, in the fridge to label and date food. There are hundreds of uses! Carry a few around the house and throw one in your junk drawer! You'll be reaching for it often! Which is great because the more you use, the more you can buy!

[@barryporter6993]

I learned a lot. I never really understood washi, but now I know.

[@lornam3637]

I love using washi tape to make little pockets in my journal - especially my Travelers Notebook. You tape along the side you want as the base on the inside and fold your pocket up. Then tape the base on the outside and tape the right and left side. It makes a great pocket to keep tickets, little notes with quotes, postcard etc. Using washi means your precious ephemera don't accidentally get glued or permanently stuck down.

[@leanneland]

I like to add washi tape across the top and bottom of my Hobonichi weeks weekly spread. Just to give my pages a bit of decoration. Each week I use a different pattern and coordinate pens and markers with it in my spread for the week.

[@potandpens]

Daisy you answered questions I didn’t know I had

[@belwynne1386]

I need a washi tape cutter! I didn’t know it existed! Thank you!

[@sayuriakirayuu7944]

You can use an actual cuter, a really small one for cutting boxes it's perfect. I saw korean youtubers who do journaling using it all the time for super clean and precise cut for the washi. Just put your washi straight on the page and gently make a straigh cut with the cuter, just be careful with the hobonichi paper, once you learn how much pressure you have to put it's super easy and you will love it. If you are afraid, you can try doing it with a ruler, preferably a metal ruler

[@sealine8717]

HANK YOU for this video, so many good ideas!

[@ruthfeiertag]

Angela of Inky Converters makes adorable cards just to use for sharing tape. Those are all great washi suggestions. I like to use washi tape on plain, fountain-pen-friendly papers to turn the paper into stationery. Thanks, Daisy!

[@amyt6254]

Thanks for the ideas! It was interesting to hear why it is called Washi!

[@crystalpiolyn]

I got the wrong focus on your hair. I love how it's long, nice & casual maintained. I don't know how to say. I just love it 😀 ❤

[@ladyamalthea85]

I have 2 boxes full, I really need to use mine more!

[@dorisandujar8277]

Im a new subscriber and I'm excited over all the different ways washi can be used. I'm also new to junk journals and I know I will have more fun when I make my first journal. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@nancylee1625]

Great video and I got some good ideas for my washi tape. Most of my tape is used for card making but now you have enlarged my creative thinking. Thank you.

[@ChantelleArts]

so cute, what wonderful tips ☺☺☺

[@sishui9429]

I just used it to tape a small poster on the wall today. A couple of things about washi tape are that it doesn’t leave tape residue on the surface and doesn’t print your fingerprints.

[@danisbookshelf3167]

I use mine for labeling a lot, too! Also, they make great tabs for my notebooks. I like to either lay it along the edge of a page and wrap it onto the next one for a really noticeable marker, or take a strip and fold it back partway on itself and then place it so it sticks out of my notebook

[@TealDiana]

I use pull out spice racks for storing washi.

[@karenholden4740]

New to Washington tape great information Thanks

[@datasciyinfo5133]

Most of the washi tape I have are not from Japan and seems to be made of plastic or have high plastic coating. I generally use them as a temporary tape in my card making process. I only have 3 cute ones with metallic foil stripes in red, gold, and silver that I use on Christmas cards. These come with a backing paper and need to be cut with scissors. I also use them to hold a business card or index card in my planner as a temporary reminder. I have made clear pockets and envelopes with them (and acetate sheet), but you have to use the more sticky kind, ie the ones w a backing sheet. Regular wash tapes peel off after a while when handled a lot. I didn’t know I can write on them w permanent markers. I will try that. Cheaper wash seems to disintegrate when they get old and will peel only in pieces. I may have to throw them away. Thanks for the info. I could not get into the washi tape craze.

[@BH94112]

You can use new clean sponge to close letters

[@mizquilter]

I have just bought a ticket to hop on the washi tape train! Thanks for this video, Daisy.

[@katkaat]

These days, I hesitate to say that washi tape is really made from washi paper. I think that's why a lot of Japanese brands mostly call it Making Tape. 🤔 😊 Also that "Thank You 39" one is great. 😂

[@osirisgolad]

I frequently refill empty ink bottles with ink that comes in not-so-practical bottles, so I label my ink bottles/boxes with washi tape so I don't have to scrub off label glue residue every time I swap the ink inside the bottle.

[@sylviatan3583]

Now I know how you guys wrap the fountain pen box every time I bought it from Yoseka! #mysterysolved

[@TheWanderingFire]

The first place I ever saw washi tape was at a woodworking supply store. They sold a pack of 3 Christmas-themed tapes (red, green and white patterns of trees, presents and stars) along with a very large roll of brown packaging paper (intended for gift-wrapping by those who don't like overly designed wrapping paper). For the longest time I thought this was something they had invented (they just called it decorative tape). I had no idea it was an industry unto itself in Japan until many years later.

[@staceym8776]

Here's how I use old rolls of washi tape that I no longer like. I frame the outer edges (top, bottom, sides) when painting/watercolouring. Once I am done painting, I carefully peel the tape away and it leaves a nice even, white border.

[@gypsyfroggie]

I snorted out loud when you said 10 washi tapes! I love to place the washi in my journals, at the edge of the page, so I lay the washi vertically down the edge of the page at the halfway mark of the tape and then lift the one page turning it to the unwashi side and fold the tape over. This way when you look at the journal closed all you see is beautiful washi and colors throughout the journal. It is an addiction for sure.

[@gingerholloway9264]

@gypsyfroggie, I love putting washi on the edges of my pages, too! You are right! It makes the edges so colorful!

[@barbarajohnson3446]

I love to do this to flag important pages too - makes it easy to find from the side!

[@thatskam_butwithaK]

my washi tape isnt sticky.. help?..

[@Yoseka]

In our experience mt washi tape is the stickiest with the best adhesive. It's true that a lot of washi tapes are not that sticky, in which case they are used best for decorating. The less sticky washi tapes can still be enjoyed on planner and journal pages but wouldn't be as useful to, say, hang something up on a wall or keep an envelope shut before you put it in the mail. Hope this helps :)

[@BH94112]

You can licked letters closed

[@EvanLuke3]

I have over 400 rolls of washi tape. Am I going to stop buying washi tape. NO! But I am more selective in what I buy. I just love washi and use it all of the time in my every day journal, in my bullet journal, in my Hobonichi, to send letters and to label pens so I know which brush pen is a hard tip or a soft tip.

[@jillsipocz3582]

I just threw out many rolls of mine, they were all stuck together and couldn't be peeled apart.

[@Yoseka]

Oh no!!

[@cha4onda]

I like to decorate my phone charger with washi tape

[@karenholden4740]

Washie

[@elo5193]

Unpopular opinion: Washi tape is a waste of time. Out of all the marvelous things in the stationary world, thankfully Washi tape collecting is not an illness that I've caught.

[@Yoseka]

Hahah you have been spared from this addiction!

[@Supercre8ive1]

Way to give a gracious response!! Nice.

[@jaychhibber8920]

Too much talking and use of UMS, just show us the examples you are boring going bye.

[@CastroTheMexican]

We need a Stephanie video explaining her favorite pens tbh
