Not sure how the rest of you are doing with the pandemic going on but I truly hope all are well. I have been cooped up in my home for far too long & there's only so much cleaning I can do before I hate it (which is like 1 minute of cleaning) and I've been watching far too much TV as well. I am blessed to be working my butt off from home but I do miss engaging with my coworkers and customers face to face. So I've been trying to find other crafty things to do to keep me inspired.

Now those of you who know me personally know I do these things called Decos. These are booklets that are sent through the mail that are either themed or not. It is made for a particular person & you decorate a page in it, then mail it to another person, they decorate a page then mail it to another person, and so on until the book is full. Once it is, it gets returned to its rightful owner to enjoy. I have been doing this for years. It's kind of like scrapbooking through the mail.

What I usually use my washi tape stash for is my Decos. Adding a colorful pop, or a nice decorative border to a page I have done, but I have been dabbling in using it for other things. So I was happy to get this washi set & below I have a bit about the product, what I used it for, & where you can get your hands on this great deal!

What I Thought: Included are some pictures of things I have done & the list below. These are definitely vibrant & come in fun design, & a small case with a plastic cover to keep them in place. Besides the obvious, borders on my Decos I do & sealing envelopes, I'm posting some different things I tried using these tapes. I found it was really easy to remove right after applying if you placed it a bit off and want to get it right, but after a day or so, if on thin paper, the bond seems to be more sealed & it will tear the paper.

Made a bookmark. This turned out pretty cool. I had some decorative plastic I wrapped the washi around, punched a hole in to to add some ribbon (probably the hardest part, and wrapped the washi around it. Can you guess the book I'm reading?

Made a pretty pen grip. These pens I like to use can be quite slippery at times so the washi added some nice decoration to them & made them easier to grip.

Placed the washi tape around a paper tube (toilet paper or paper towel tube) & add a little gift of money or candy on the inside & pinch the ends. Great for little holiday gifts & even can be recycled! The size of the tape didn't work well for using it the way I did, but if you go around, instead of up & down like I did, it would work a lot better & easier to trim excess if needed.

Used it to frame photos and keep them easily attached to the wall. Frames can be a pain to hang, don't usually come in fun designs or colors, and you usually have to put a nail in the wall to hang them. This was a simple way to showing off some photos in a more creative way. I had some OLD photos of me & my besties I put up near my work area.

Made a card using the washi as birthday cake layers & adding my own touch. The photo is of the card in process. It didn't turn out exactly how I hoped but it's a cute idea & the best gifts are always handmade.

I decorated the cork board I had laying around. It was pretty ugly on its own but the washi added a really nice touch to it! It's now more enjoyable to look at when I use it! I was cutting it with a craft knife at first, but found I could just use my nail to cut through by the edges & it actually was much easier.

I would buy this! You can use them for a multitude of things & I really liked the designs. You can currently purchase this for $14.99 at Amazon.com. That's like $0.75 per roll which is an GREAT deal!
