Washi tape is a high quality masking tape made of rice paper or other short, strong plant fibers. For crafters, washi tape is an embellishment material which is beautiful yet useful at the same time. You can tear it, stick it, reposition it, stamp on it, write on it... The low tack adhesive makes it extremely easy to use (and reuse.) it is so popular because it is so easy to use - and looks good while doing it!
