    One of the more popular uses of washi tape is decorating. Whether you're looking to spruce up a bulletin board, cheer up your boring laptop, add some colour to a picture frame, or create your own personalised wall art, washi tape is the perfect tool for the job.

  2. Gift Wrapping

    Washi tape is a great option for wrapping gifts, especially for those who are looking for an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wrapping paper. Simply wrap the gift in plain paper (thin uncoated paper or tissue paper is best) and use washi tape to add some colour and pattern. You can even create your own custom patterns by combining different tapes!
