What is washi tape?

Washi tape is a type of tape used for decorative purposes.

The word washi comes from Japanese and it is a type of thin paper. So washi tape is a versatile material that is thin like paper but is adhesive as tape. It is almost like masking tape with a design on it but it is not as adherent as masking tape and peels off easily in general.

They come in many different designs making washitape great for craft projects, scrapbooking, as decorative items and also for bullet journaling ideas.
