My Thoughts

I love washi tape. I don't even want to admit to how many rolls of it I have around the house. It's one of those items I am always buying, but always wonder if I will ever finish a roll. Thanks to Paper &Tape: Craft and Create, I've got some new ideas on how to use the tape.

The book is packed with ideas and the instructions on how to make the items, so you're not left in the dark. It's a big book and I really like the binding on it. The pictures are gorgeous. They are bright, colorful, and eye catching. The pages are smooth to touch and pretty thick, so you don't have to worry about them tearing.

I also really liked in the back, they put templates in it. So some of the projects, you can go to the back and get the template. Such as with the homemade gift tags. They had a variety of sizes as well. If you're a crafter and lover of washi tape, or know someone who is, they will want this book.
