Washi Tape Workshop

What the Heck is Washi Tape?

You've probably seen it on Pinterest a million times or read about it on your favorite DIY or crafting blog, but what is washi tape anyway... and why is everyone so in love with it? Well, be prepared, because your washi tape obsession is about to begin!

The best way to describe washi tape is that it feels like masking tape — very, very pretty masking tape. It's made of paper, but is not as delicate as you would expect. Plus, it comes in exclusive patterns and designs that will...

make even the most dedicated crafters swoon and varying widths to allow you to create some fun and intricate washi tape designs.

Come to my 1st ever Washi Tape workshop!

* White Craft Ink is creamier than regular ink, it has a rich permanent pigment that requires longer drying time, which is why it is more expensive.
