It's fair to say Washi tape has the looks, but does it have any substance? You know what we say about all looks...

It's all very well possessing some of this pretty stuff, but what are we going to do with it?

I wanted to share some of my favourite images from around the web of fab things people have made with washi tape just to illustrate quite what a wonder product it is.

From simple but effective greetings cards to prettying up your keyboard, washi tape certainly has an amazing repertoire of uses. It is such a stunning decorative item, in so many available designs that no crafter should be without a few rolls. Not that I have shares in Washi tape (blimey, I wish I did) but I really think you all need some. If you are still not convinced, go check out the zillion other examples on Pinterest of stunning uses that clever people have come up with and THEN tell me you still don't need any.

Question is...what are you going to make first?

1. sweet notecard

2. decorative homewares

3. mini bunting

4. fab brooch

5. coolest keyboard

6. pretty pegs

7. cocktail sticks

8. more pretty bunting

9. neon noticeboard

I know I may be a little late to the party, but I have yet another addiction - Washi tapes.

I decided last week that I needed something to jolly up my orders. I've had a little change over from my long-time use of turquoise tissue paper to white. Don't ask me why. It was one of those split decisions at the wholesaler checkout.

So now more decisions were needed...what colour tape should i get?

To be fair, anything was going to go with white tissue, but have you seen how many washi tapes there are out there?

The first must have was this cross stitch effect red on white tape. I just love it.

And this red dot, below, was rather irresistible too.

I can't tell you how much I love washi tapes, but those of you that know my addictive personality will have a pretty good idea quite how much.

I was mightily tempted by this pair...maybe a refreshing addition in the spring.

Have you fallen to the charms of Washi tapes yet?
