Do You Washi?

April 24, 2013 by sewfinefabric

I stumbled across these DARLING little washi covered tacks on one of my favorite blogs a couple of weeks ago. They inspired me to sit down for a mother-daughter project on a rainy afternoon.

The kiddo and I got to work messing around and whipped some fun up with one of these.

There are more ideas over on my Pinterest board!

My favorite part of the Days of the Week tape is that it actually offers TWO fonts! So clever!

What is Washi??

It’s a decorative tape printed with different patterns made with rice paper. These tapes originated in Japan in 2006 but are used worldwide. The tape has a mild adhesive so you can reposition it as needed, which is extremely helpful for a clumsy crafter like me.

What is your favorite Washi project?

This past week hanging out with my favorite six year old and her buddies reminded me how FUN it can be to have time to play and explore without the schedules of school! The weather finally warmed up today, enough for us to get OUT, take a walk and even have dinner alfresco (without a jacket!)!! Amazing!

Dressing for warm weather reminded me we don’t have enough Spring/Summer attire for the growing girl. When I went looking for inspiration I found this lovely pattern. Oh the possiblites!
