I can’t get enough of washi tape. I buy mine here or here or here
can’t. get. enough.
i love it…so much!!! (it’s basically like patterned tape..) but i’m finding an excuse to stick it on everything!!!
and I was wrapping up an etsy order and put washi tape on it…and thought..this would be so much fun if it said THAnk you!
and so i did…cause it’s easy.
hoped on the computer and printed all different sayings and fonts…cause i’m addicted to fonts!
then you pick your washi tape…you want light colors..and not too much pattern on it…and lay it over each line…
then peel it up..you can see the ink sticks to it!!! IT’s amazing
slap it on everything…packages…
cookie wrappers..
letters…
lunchbags, notes to your kids, scrapbooking pictures, anything you want a special little note!!!!
I love this washi tape:
and this one
this one is adorable
and this one:
edited to add: Some people said it won’t work with their specific printers. My printer is an HP photo smart
HP Photosmart D110A Wireless Printer (CN731A#B1H)
So..if it doesn’t work…you could follow these instructions and then before you pull up the washi…run it through your printer and have them print on top of the washi!!!! good luck!
go here to see more washi gloriousness…

That is so incredibly cool!
Ashley M says
Awesome! I have seen people print directly on the washi tape, but after trying it, I found that the ink just smears off – I like this way better. I’ll have to give it a try!
Kristin C. says
WHAT?!?!?! That’s awesome!

Cody Doll says
I love that idea. Could you try printing on top of the tape, would it work?
Shemi Dixon says
do you know this works with both inkjet & laser printers? What type of printer did you use.

Launie says
I have a LASER printer and this was a no go for me. Do you have an ink-jet perhaps? May want to specify in your above post?
pinkhandprint says
What kind of printer does it work with; inkjet or laser?
Barb Glasscoe says
Yeah — it did not work for me at all. It either pulls up absolutely nothing or if you press it really hard then it pulls up a layer of paper along with it.
Did you by any chance do your printing on something other than just regular copy paper? Was it something with a shiny finish that might allow the print to lift off?
Liz says
Hi! I wanted to try this super cool idea, but the ink doesn’t stick to my laser printed letters 🙁
Did you do this with an inkjet? Or is there another way to try with my laser printer…
Thanks!! Liz
Rowe says
Will this work on a laser printer?
jennifer says

Melissa says

Sinziana says
Great idea! Stopped by from Tip Me Tuesday! Pinning this.
Linda says
I have to try this…………….so cool!
Susan says
I was thinking that you could print it on the paper for alignment, then put the tape over the words put that into the printer and print again to get the words on the front of the tape. I’m not sure the tape isn’t too slick, but I’m going to try it. I’m like you, I love fonts!
Tracy Lucas says
Just a heads-up for any fellow readers with a laser printer (like me!) — sticking the Washi tape directly IN the printer to print on it? Sounds great, but it can melt and gum up and completely ruin your printer! Not saying it will; it depends on your model. But wanted to throw that warning out there just as a caveat!
Kimbo says
good heads up! Thanks!
Karen says
This is awesome – what a cool idea and great tip. Thanks for sharing it.
Holly says
Great idea! Shared it on my Facebook. Happy New Year- Holly 🙂

This is such a great idea! A whole new reason to buy washi tape.
Faye says
Girl you are a genius!!! Thank you so much for the tips. I’m in like flynn (old old saying from the 60’s that means I’m definitely going to do it). ? Smooches.
Janice Patterson says
Could you tell me the names of two of the fonts used here?
I love the font used for the “Limbo loves you” and the “Thank You” under it!
Please let me know the name of those fonts and or where to get them. Thanks!
Janice says
What is the font used for the “Limbo loves you” and the “Thank You” under it?
Kimbo says

Carmen says
Staz On Ink will not smudge if you use it on top of your washi tape. You have to let it dry thoroughly though otherwise it will smudge. This is the way I ‘print’ on my washi tape. You can buy plain washi tape and print your own patterns on it! Have fun with which ever way works for you. 🙂
Ranu Singh says
Thank You mam…………….it’s a Great Idea!
