Yes, it’s true! Washi tape is made from paper. The paper used
can be made from a variety of materials, including mulberry bark and hemp.
Washi tape is typically made from Japanese rice paper. Washi tape was originally a masking tape that was
produced by a Japanese company. They received requests for different colours
and the washi tape phenomenon took off. The glue on the back of washi tape is made from rubber
that has been kneaded and heated. It is mixed with a resin and then applied to
the back of the tape. Next, the decorative designs are printed onto the tape. Washi tape is semi-translucent and comes in a wide range
of designs and patterns. It is easy to reposition. You can tear it. You can
write on it and it works on many different surfaces. Washi tape is used in scrapbooking, journaling, crafting,
home décor and cardmaking. Because it is easily repositionable, it’s perfect
for your own designs and creations. It you don’t like the look, simply lift off
the tape and try it in another spot. Lots of people have tried to make their own washi tapes.
Some of them look lovely, but none of them have that “je ne sais quoi” of a
true washi tape. A word of warning: Washi tape can be highly addictive. I
mean, really, it’s just so gorgeous. Maybe it’s not really an addiction,
though, but rather a curated collection. Yes, that’s it!
