Tape it

Washi tape, or also know as masking tape, might be the biggest hype in DIY land at the moment.
The idea is actually quite simple: it's a tape made of rice paper, in a fun color or print. Because of the material it is easy to tear, easy to remove, you are able to use it multiple times and you can easily write on it.

So it's a cute looking tape. But what do you do with it?
Lemme show ya...


Tune up your dull keyboard into something colorful and fun




Make pretty labels! You can use them for gift wrapping, labelling your cookie or candy jars...



Super easy to make and so much fun as a cupcake topper or as decoration in a drink



Empty bottles or old vases become funky in a flash



Block time slots in your schedule



A temporary collage on the wall



Even phones and mp3 players aren't safe anymore


Still not convinced?
Then you should definiteley visit Pinterest for many, so many other fun DIY ideas.
Just type in washi tape or masking tape and pictures will keep coming.

Wanna get started?
The tape is sold at several online shops such as ebay, etsy and lots of individual stores.
Not such a fan of online shopping? Then you should definitely try shops for the creative arts in bigger cities but in Holland also at our one and only Hema!
I already bought a few different ones there and besides the fun prints they are also a bit cheaper than most online shops, really worth your while.

I hope you will all have as much fun with this 'piece of tape' as I do, enjoy!

Love,
Noes
