19 Washi Tape Craft Ideas

Washi Tape is ever so popular these days.  If you are not familiar with it, it is Japanese decorative tape.  There are a multitude of patterns and colors available.  It is not very sticky so you can reposition it easily which makes it perfect for craft projects.  Here are 19 ways to decorate with Washi Tape which include paper crafts, home decor, wall art, holiday decor, and how to make your own.
