NotesDID YOU KNOW?
Washi tape can be used to make a variety of DIY wedding ideas. Have you ever wondered what washi tape is and why it has such an unusual name? The washi tape phenomenon began in Japan in 2006. A group of artists approached a Japanese masking tape manufacturer and presented them with a book of art they had created using the company's industrial masking tapes. The artists suggested the masking tape company should manufacture colorful masking tape for artists to use. Soon after, the company began making 20 colors designed to bring out the beauty of the rice paper (or washi) used to make the tape. The tapes were a hit in Japan, and over time, washi tape became an international craft phenomenon. Now, you can find washi tape in all different sizes, colors, and patterns, including the black and white design you see on this beautiful homemade wedding craft.
