Washi Tape: What is it good for?
 | ||||
Washi tape is known as "masking tape" in Japan but they have brought masking tape to a whole new art form. Each roll of tape is made from rice paper and has a low adhesion, meaning you can place the pretty pieces on things and lift them off easily. Washi Tape AddictedI am so addicted to these pretty rolls of tape and make lots of excuses to buy them and use them whenever I can from wrapping gifts, my online art sale and then I even incorporate them into my art work.
