A cute book with some fun ideas for washi tape crafts. Felt like a nice little scroll through Pinterest. Very sorry for the 20 people disappointed that washi tape did not manage to fix the gaping holes in their lives. But rice paper is notoriously thin, and its adhesive is not the strongest. Maybe try E6000? ;)

I digress. Some of my favorite ideas were:
The Catchall Plate
Bookshelf Harlequin Trim
Washi Nail Art
Pretty Twist Tie
Gift Box With Pocket

I saw it on the shelf at the library and was curious... Pretty sure I won't make any of the projects in this book, but some of them were quite imaginative, such as using washi tape as nail art or to make a fake headboard for your bed...

2 good ideas the Longaberger basket. And good directions for mini notebooks. But that's not specific to washi.

Otherwise I thought the ideas could be suitable for just paper or I found them silly.

Fun ideas

Lots of fun ideas, each with diagrams and photos to help you make them. I have tons of Washington tape so enjoyed this.

A few interesting ideas for stuff to make, but not that inspiring on the whole. You'll probably do better browsing Pinterest.
