What is washi tape? Ideas how to use washi tape

by Alice Garten Writer

Washi tape is one of the many types of masking tape that you can use in your journals, pictures, cards and more. It is an excellent material to decorate your paper, create borders or use directly as masking tape.

Doodle Washi Tape is a set of 10 pre-made rolls of multi-purpose tape that are a wonderful addition to any craft box and a great way to add a special touch to all your craft projects.

Washi tape has hundreds of makes use of for arts, crafts and domestic DIY tasks. By no means buy some other card after you purchase our doodle washi tape. Upload borders, shapes and styles to any uninteresting paper and create some magic!

How to use washi tape in your planner

There are many planners and bujo washi uses, some people use custom washi tape as an accessory, holding other pieces of paper, while others use washi to make sections and lines to write on.

In the design of these colorful projects, candy and plant washi from our doodle washi set were used to outline the days of the week (mixed with pink and green respectively to tie them together).

You should find inspiration on the style of planning you want and try to imitate washi tape to use first. Eventually you will find what works best for you and your planning style.

Washi tape is a great item for a bullet journal and no bujo kit is complete without a set of washi!

Washi tape for writing

If you want to do art or junk journaling, then washi can be your friend, used as painter's tape or masking tape for clean edges on your paper.

You can also incorporate it into your designs by creating patterns and designs using your washi.

Washi tape for gift wrapping

Adding a splash of color to your gift wrapping can be a great experience. It is also important to note, since washi can be reused, people often save small pieces of washi and reuse them for their journals or for other gifts (a great improvement from cello tape).

Use craft paper and some of our doodle washi to create a fun and quick pattern - add detail with a cute bow, and voila!

Create a crisscross of washi tape over the gift box for a nice personal touch. In this beautiful star-themed box, we added our night doodles washi tape to keep the star and moon theme.

Masking tape

Have you ever seen those convincing masking tape editing videos on Instagram? Have you noticed how many of them use washi tape? Painter's tape can be hard on paper, so many artists have started experimenting with washi tape to get clean edges on their pieces.

In particular, washi tape for watercolor artists is the key to cleaning up the edges. This type of tape is very thin on the paper, to avoid tearing the paper.

Wash the wall tape

This was an application that we were both surprised and amazed by! Of course, you can use custom washi tape to hang pictures on your wall or the door of the room, but what about creating a beautiful design on the wall using washi tape? That's new!

Send a stellar themed art print using our night sky washi tape, or a cutesy teacup art print with candy doodle washi tape - the perfect doodles for your artwork.

Wash tape for envelopes

Treating each envelope that leaves your home as a planner spread is an art form that has been picked up recently, bringing a new level to envelope design and processing.

You can of course use washi tape to seal the envelopes, but also decorate them and turn them into a work of art! Not only washi can be used, but different styles of stencils and stamps to create a special look for envelopes. Use watercolor to add a pop of color and flair!

Is washi tape expensive?

Some said the tape was expensive. Is it because it's just a small roll, and not worth the high price?

I knew several people were talking about the high cost of just a small roll. To pay this kind of price, you could have bought a nice cup of coffee, a simple lunch, a movie ticket, or even a new wallet. Why should you buy masking tape, especially if you don't know how to use it? It would be a waste of money!
