Thank you for so many ideas. I’m not a paper crafter but I used washi tape as decorative trim on the bottom of a lampshade. It’s been in place for several years and it’s on a lamp that we use every night. It was nice and sticky so I haven’t had any problems with it lifting. I thought your viewers might be interested in this more unusual use 😊

Thanks so much for sharing, I have never heard of it used that way and am quite surprised that it is still in position. What a great idea.

As soon as I open new, or use a tape on a roll (of any type: masking, painters’, duct, electrical or washi) I find the end ONCE, then fold the end over about 1/4 inch, so I never, ever have to look and feel for, and look and try to find the end. The end is ALWAYS easy and fast to find ✅ Saves lots of time and boatloads of frustration 🤓

Love this idea!!! Thanks so much for adding it here 🫶

I have a non craft use for Washi tape. I have loved your ideas, l am just getting started with paper crafts. But before when l was traveling, l put washi tape on both ends of my cell phone charger cables, and the plug ins. That way if you are with friends that have same cables, you will pretty much always know yours. Plus on the charger plug it, it makes them really pretty. Just a thought.

That's a great idea!! Thanks so much for adding it here... it's nice to be able to use it outside of our craft spaces.

hello ^^ I have some ideas: - stick washi tape or sticker on cardboard and then stick magnets on the back or magnetic foil - stick washi tape on any paper and intuitively continue the patterns with any pens, markers or paints you want

Awww, thank you Carmen, your comment has made my day! ☀️ I'm so glad you found the channel.

Once you apply the washi tape you can make a cut from outside corner to the inside corner, remove the extra tape. Then tape the back of the corner and you have a perfect frame.

Hello Gwen. I am a new subscriber and love all the ideas for washi. So glad to find your channel. I notice you use your sewing machine a bit does the paper tear?

@CreatedByGwen

10 ай бұрын

Welcome Margaret 🤗 I'm so glad you found me too! I stitch on my layouts a LOT and have never had an issue with the paper tearing. I just go nice and slow and make sure not to force anything as it is going through. I do recommend you have a separate needle when working with paper as it does blunt quite quickly. You'd want to switch it out if you also sew fabric projects.

@andrealavigne7824

Also, using a somewhat longer stitch length helps not to tear the paper. I generally aim for at least around 3-3.5 mm long stitches. :)

@CreatedByGwen

10 ай бұрын

YES! Great tip, if you have too short of a stitch it can 'perforate' the paper which is not good 🫣 I like the look of the longer stitch too, it gives it more of a hand stitched look. Thanks for adding this tip here 🌸@@andrealavigne7824

Why do people ink the edges of cards? I'm new and not explaining this very well, but I saw someone put ink on the edges and not really explain why they did it.

@CreatedByGwen

9 ай бұрын

Hey Judy... it's actually purely decorative. Some people like the look of the inked edges. It can work really well with a vintage style project, they ink the edges in a brown ink to make the paper look more vintage. I'm not a fan BUT many many people love it. When I do it, I like it to look very subtle. Hope this helps! 🌸
