Washi Tape Bug!

Just a few of the new washi tape designs in stock!

Have you been bitten by the washi tape bug?  We certainly have and can't help ourselves from stocking the Shoppe with lots of colors and patterns of washi tape.  

So, what is washi tape?  Washi tape has its origins in Japan and refers to tapes made from Japanese rice paper.  Over the past few years the term has expanded to include decorative paper tape that comes in a wide variety of manufacturers, widths, colors and patterns.

So , what can you do with washi tape?  Washi tape can be used in a variety of ways - from the simple envelope embellishment on a birthday card to a friend to more complex mixed media projects.  

Above are just a couple of the pins that we have on our "Wonderful Washi" Pinterest Board.  Click here for more inspiration.
