Tape It Pretty {japanese tape ideas}
I love when you can use very simple and mundane items to perk up a gift or decorative piece. One item in particular that I can’t get enough of is Japanese Washi Tape, also referenced as deco tape! The little gems are adorned with some of the prettiest colors, patterns, and typography which can add a lot of character to something very simple. I am actually quite surprised to see that there were not more photos of DIY projects using this tape. I know that I have tons of ideas swimming in my mind. Maybe that calls for another tape it pretty inspired post! Nevertheless, here are a few ideas that I love and have collected from around the web. Just click the links below the photos for more info and pics!
Here are two of my favorite shops for deco/japanese tape: Happy Tape and Pretty Tape

[...] The great thing about this tape is that it has so many purposes, and it’s just calling for you to be creative with it. It’s also really practical because it’s functional (as tape) and fun! It can be used to wrap a package, design cards, or decorate things around the house. Here are a few ideas I found on JuBella’s design blog: [...]

Washi tape has an addictive power. At least, that’s what I feel. Since we sell it in our own online – shop in Germany it’s even more crazy than before. Having more choice let you want to tape more!
