Washi tape / Masking tape

This type of tape is relatively new in Denmark, but because of the endless possibilities for using the tape in creative projects, the colourful rolls have quickly gained a foothold in the Danish market. Originally a Japanese concept, like many others we too have fallen for the many fun possibilities this beautiful tape has.

So you'll find a huge selection of both single rolls and beautiful packs of themed or colour-coordinated rolls for all your projects. Read on to find out why washi tape is an essential in your creative kit.

What is washi tape?

In a nutshell, it's a Japanese concept. The tape is made from rice paper and has a mild adhesive on the back, making it ideal when it comes to creative projects and decorating because it's easy to both put on and remove.

Washi tape - or masking tape - is an easy and quick way for you to decorate gifts, books or even walls. Masking tape on walls can brighten up an entire room, and kids and teens in particular will find it great to be able to decorate the room over and over again both easily and quickly.

What can I use masking tape for?

If you're interested in those beautiful tape rolls with cute and fun designs, but you're not sure what to do with them, here's some masking tape inspiration.

Usually you buy masking tape in small rolls - either a single one or several different ones in a pack. We always have both classic versions, but also fun and more occasion-specific motifs to choose from.

We think some of the most popular projects with washi tape are:

• Decorating gifts
• Decorating cards
• Decorating books
• Funny details on pictures or drawings
• Decoration of shelves
• Decoration of walls
• Decoration of postcards
• Decoration of binders

Masking tape, then, is very much a form of decorative tape and lends itself incredibly well to many projects where you just need that finishing touch. For example, you can use it for the following projects.

Christmas or greeting cards

By printing out a picture and putting it on the front of a card with washi tape, you can give your Christmas or greeting cards a boost and make them even more personal and fun for the recipient.

At the same time, the tape is easy to remove, so the image can be taken off the card and put in a frame or hung on the fridge without damage.

An extra touch for school books

Although there is a lot of great paper available for binding, there is something extra fun and cosy about decorating your books yourself with the fine tape and making them unique. Make it a surprise or let the children decorate their newly bound books themselves.

Decorate your child's room

The tape is also great fun to use in the kids' room, where walls, cupboards, ceilings and floors can all be brightened up with a few stripes in fun patterns and colours. An obvious idea is to use the tape if you need to mark out a lane for the racing cars, or perhaps if you need to mark out rooms for the dolls' house.
