What is it?
Washi tape is essentially decorative masking tape from Japan. It is useful for card crafting,gift wrapping, home decor and scrapbooking to name just a few.
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.
