This may be the best diy washi vid I've seen so far.

Your music while removing the paper was DREAMY! Why can’t more KZfaqrs use pretty music like that?! I love this idea!❤️

I love the way you’ve made it transparent so it’s different from just cutting up a piece of paper & sticking it on. What an awesome idea. Thank you 😊

What a great idea. I craft with mostly vintage papers so I could make vintage washi tape, probably the matte side up. You could also just make a whole bunch of strips and store them right on the wax paper. I use cereal bags for everything.

What a brilliant idea Deirdre! That’s a great way to use up the dregs in your patterned paper stash - which is what I shall be doing. Thank you for the idea. Stay safe x

Awesome idea! I have so many pretty papers and scraps I could use this way. Thanks!

Oh my gosh, this is WONDERFUL! I LOVE washi tape, but can't justify the expense of tape tailored to each project. This is PERFECT!! Thank you so much!!!

Love this idea; I make it with scotch tape for a matte finish.

grandma your good crafter! 😍😍

This is a great idea. I recently discovered Washi tape and enjoy adding this extra touch to various things, mailings, etc.

What a brilliant idea! I love this, saves money and landfill waste...The possibilities are endless 🌹 Thank you for sharing this amazing idea with us!

Great idea! What a wonderful tutorial....Diedre, you would make an awesome Art Teacher. I've learned so much from you. You truly are an artist...you think outside the box, and have such original ideas. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

I love this demonstration and such a money saver! Brilliant!

Absolutely amazing! I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for showing this.

You're going about it the hard way. If you cut the strips and just put the double-sided tape on the plain side then stick it to the parchment paper until you're ready to use it. I store a bunch of it in clear sheet protectors. Even easier just stick the double-sided tape onto the wrong side of the paper then cut the strips and store the strips on parchment paper in sheet protectors

You are the Queen of saving money with crafting tricks Deidra. What a great tip. As always thanks for sharing all your great ideas. 😊🤗😚😙❤❤❤

Love this. So helpful. I can see quite a few useful ways to use this. Wow!

The paper scraped matte side looks more like washy tape, this is a brilliant idea!

I so enjoy your videos. Your instructions are always so clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to try this idea! Thank you!!!📌

What a fantastic tutorial!

Very interesting technique! I taught diy washi tape technique years ago [in U S] when washi tape was first introduced. Instead of using pattern paper, in my workshop, I taught stamping on all different types of tapes. It's also fun to use your own diy carved stamps for a unique look. As an alternative, my fave base tape for stamping is Scotch Removable because it is so low-tack, just like store-bought washi. Next fave is Scotch Magic permanent, because of its translucency. In addition, I like to stamp onto clear packing tape [see video by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer], and clear or white medical tape. If you also like pops of white background, it's interesting to stamp on Post-it correction tape, too! I prefer the wider size. DIna Wakely also makes a good solid color [white] base tape - but it's a tad more opaque than Scotch tapes - and hers has a slightly rougher texture. I use Avery return address labels as diy washi stickers - but these are white not clear. For clear sheets of sticker paper I use full sheet clear shipping labels for the office supply store - 10 sheets per package, but not cheap. These sheets are easy to cut in strips with scissors. TO use with a die cutting machine, try stamping images with some kind of outline. Or use a black permanent/sharpie marker to outline the images. Always test and experiment first! Regarding Masking tape, due to it's extreme tackiness, I don't use/adhere Masking tape as the base for diy washi. Instead, when I use it, I prefer to adhere Masking tape directly to the paper/page/base. [US masking tape is like using E6000 to cement something to paper - not suitable for diy washi [i.e. low-tack tape], IMO.] Making diy washi is S-O much fun - as was teaching how to make it, too! tfs!

I love this way you have shown us. Thank you 😁

Thank you so much!I do do a lot of card making and it can get quite expensive.

You are amazing for thinking of these great short cuts and money savers. Thanks

Great idea! I only knew about using tissue paper. (Stamping onto it then adding the double sided tape.)

I absolutely love everything you do you are my favorite person to watch and learning from you thank you

What a great hack. I love adding washi tape to some of my projects. Thanks so much for another amazing video. 😊

Are you kidding 😳 me . What an amazing help for creative crafting. Thank you so very much 💓 ❤ 💛 💖

How clever and thrifty! Can't wait to use it on my paper scraps. Great tips!

I love this idea. And thank you for mentioning flipping the strip over for a matte side. I did not even give that a thought. I was having a brain freeze. Instead I paused video and was looking to see if I can find matte packing tape. Now I don't need to purchase that. Lol. Thanks again for sharing.

BEAUTIFUL & WONDERFUL Idea ! Thanks for sharing

Another unique lesson! Great teacher. Thank you! I'm going to use some music scores that I don't need.

Thank you for your prompt reply have a great day and a Merry Christmas

Amazing idea! Thanks so much for sharing!

What a neat little trick

Ingenious thanks for sharing this super idea

Wow! This is a great project 😀

You are amazing. Thanks for sharing the video.

Fantastic! You just got yourself a new subscriber!

Love this!!! I don't but Washi tape because don't use the whole roll.

Cool hack

Your a genius . I have learned so much from you already. Quick question. How do you decide whether to spray paint a project or paint a project? Any tips

Keep more stuff, yikes! LOL. Thanks for the great idea!

wow wow wow. how do you come up with these ideas.. definitely going to do this 🙂

If you soak it in vinegar the paper come off really fast

WOW! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

love this video.bit late for me as i have brought several kinds of washi tape most colours i will not use as the colours are dull.how i brought them they were in packs of 5 and out of them i might only get one i will use .so i will try what you showed on your video ,thank you .

Awesome 👍🏻

Great idea and video! You have converted a new subscriber.

i made tape with stripes of old maps (or as we germans say: "Landkarten")

Woohoo, love this channel!

Genius

Neat idea, but all of my washi tape isn't shiny. Great way to use the scrap paper we all have in our stash.

Love it :)

I'd be adhering the clear tape to the patterned paper, THEN trimming them down to size 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love this tutorial. Learning so much when I watch your videos. With regards to this one, can you use things like magazines, newspapers, comic strips, wrapping paper etc to produce the same effect? Do you know if that would work?

OhMyGoodness! Girl! Everyone makes fun of me for saving lids and caps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Our Upcycled Life • Deidra: Do you know whether there is an adhesive spray that could be used in lieu of the double-sided tape? An adhesive spray would allow more width variations, just like we get with purchased Washi tape. Thanks. 👍

Would this work with magazines and or comic books ?? Love this idea u r so creative. ❤

Have you ever tried putting strips of paper tape from the first aid section down on parchment or and old empty printable sticker sheet back and print the designs on them with the printer?

Store on old credit card or laminated cards.

New to this...what is washi? Love this channel

❤️❤️❤️

I've never heard of washie take. What do you do with it?

Maybe a silly question but is this just for paper & napkins, or can you use cardstock too?

Hi, do you know if this would work with printed art work like on a ink jet or laser printer on plain white paper? I have printed scrapbook paper that I wonder would work this way.

Hi thank you i am new with resin can i do this with UV resin and epoxy resin i just love your ideas i have subscribed to your channel thank you again

Where did you get the paper from would like to do this

Will it not stick without double sided tape.... Like u made labels ? Those were sticky after rubbing off the paper..

This is how my grandkids and I make homemade stickers.

Why not put the box tape on before you slice the paper?

I have so much washi tape Apparently after this video I will have a way to get so much more

The whole point of washi tape is that it's recyclable and doesn't really damage what is put on, like masking tape. Double sided tape is very difficult to get off things and your shiny top layer makes it unrecyclable. You could call this washi effect tape but it isn't washi tape.

Just buy washi tape, which is probably cheaper than having to buy two different types of tape and patterned paper. Life is too short for this amount of faffing around, sorry. Xx

Im sorry but this is s East of time. I’ll just buy it.

For me, not worth the time and effort...just buy Washi tape.

What you are making is NOT washi tape. It's just a decorative type of tape. Washi tape is made from real Japanese washi paper. If it's not made with washi paper, it's not washi tape.
