My first washi tape projects

If you read my post on my shopping loot from 168 Mall last week, you know that one of the things I bought was washi tape - a LOT of it.

6 rolls for P100

Like I said, I didn't really understand the whole washi tape craze when it started. I found the tape really cute but it was too expensive for my kuripot self at about P100 per roll. But then, I went to Divisoria and saw these babies being sold for so cheap! The paper and fabric ones were about 4 rolls for P100. I decided to get the cheaper tapes being sold for 6 for P100 because there were more designs to choose from. I believe they're cheaper since the texture is plastic (so do you still call these washi tape?). Well, here's a closer look at the designs I got:

kiddie designs
prints & patterns
travel themed

I plan to use them mostly for wrapping gifts, but I couldn't resist spicing up some of the plain stuff lying around the house - like the kids' portable DVD player :)


And the charger as well! ;p


Now I understand why people are so crazy about washi tape! They make everything look so cute! ;p Now I'm so addicted with searching for other DIY projects you can do - and there's so many possibilities. But first, I want to go back to Divisoria and buy some more tape to add to my collection haha. :)

  1. Hi Helene. I wanted to message you but could not find a button directly to your mail. I just want to tell you that I love your blog. It inspires me a lot. I love all the stuff you do for your home (diy) and for your lovely kids (I esp love the birthday preps and celebrations). I'm in my mid 30's and a working mom of a 7-yr old adorable girl who is now in 1st grade. I get a lot of inspiring ideas from your blog that I want to explore and share with my daughter also (that is if only if I get to have spare time, hay!) Thanks again for all the inspiring ideas. Please continue doing them. Btw, I hope you don't mind, I just followed you on IG :) God bless you and your family. Have a great day! - Yaying :)
