Washi tape is
essentially masking tape made from Japanese washi paper. Washi comes from wa
meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper, and the term is used to describe paper
made by hand in the traditional manner. Washi paper is commonly made using
fibers from the bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrubor the paper
mulberry, but also can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat.
Washi tape comes in pretty colors and patterns and comes in a roll like regular tape,
and is often translucent. It’s been the “in” thing since it was launched and so
many companies in the US and the UK have been producing their own designs and
brands of washi tape. And yes, I am in love with washi tape and would love to
have rolls and rolls of pretty patterned and coloured tape *snickers*
And yes, I do hope to one day use it instead of just keeping it in my drawer.
