Washi Tape Wednesday

Hey Scrap Fans! Remember that time I said I was going to blog about washi tape every Wednesday? Haha then I went on vacation and did a bunch of other stuff? Anyway.....

Today's layout may be a bit of a stretch when it comes to using washi tape. It serves more of a functional purpose than an aesthetic one. 

On this layout (inspired by Diana Waite) I used strips of pattern paper in various widths from various collections, to create my background.  I stitched each strip with my sewing machine. Not seeing any washi tape, you say? 

I used washi tape to tape down the stray string on the back of my layout to keep it from falling out. 

I know, it's a bit of a stretch, but hey, it works and it's washi! 

Other great uses for washi:

     Masking tape

     Taping your paper to your plate when using a manual die cutter

     Taping your paper to your Cricut or Silhoutte mat when they lose their sticky

     Closing envelopes when you don't want to lick them

I could go on and on, but I won't. I have to save something  for next week, right ;)

Until then, Happy Scrappin'!!
