Art Journal: DIY "Washi" Tape
Admittedly, this tape doesn't have the wonderful translucent quality that makes washi tape so awesome, but it's a great way to get the cool look of the tape without the big bucks! This video was made for Mission Nine of the 30 Day Craft Cleanse. If you aren't already a member of this FREE art journal class, you should check it out!

Thanks so much!!! I saw some washi tape in a sketchbook I saw today in an exhibition and it of course made me want it even more. This vid helps - THANKS!!
ReplyDeletei can't wait to make some of my own. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou could also use double sided tape for this technique, so you can skip the step where you need to glue the tape.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you could make your own washi tape by using micropore tape or masking tape or kraft tape and painting on it. I stick some on a plastic placemat for painting, and then when it's all dry I transfer them to baking paper and put the paper in a pocket in my art journal, right there and ready to use when I want to.
So simple, fun, and effective! Thanks for the video. I also appreciate Eveline's additional suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever & the results are stunning! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
