Ever since the Happy Things blog giveaway earlier this year, people have been asking, โWhere do can you buy washi tapes?โ I got that question one toooooo many times I actually wanted to put it on our FAQโs section! I also get asked the same thing over and over on Instagram I actually wanted to build a separate section of Instagram FAQโs on this site ๐
On the other hand, Mansy of Hey Kessy and I would meet from time to time to do some random arts and crafts or visit art events for fun. I mentioned to her how much Googly readers would ask about washi tapes. Iโm pretty sure that if youโre a crafter or a washi addict like me, you already know about Hey Kessy. Hey Kessy also sells bakersโ twine and decorative straws. However, aside from being an online shop, Hey Kessy also aims to build a community that fosters creativity through its various workshops. Speaking of workshops, you might want to check out the Hey Kessy Messy Washi Party I attended last year ๐
What are washi tapes? Washi tapes are decorative multi-purpose tapes. We initially wanted to show you the many uses of washi tape but you might just get overwhelmed! So, Mansy decided to share with us how to make a washi coaster while I played photographer & calligrapher on this post ๐
How to make your own washi coaster? Youโll be needing the following:
a bottle of sealant (just mix equal parts of glue & water)
a foam
a base
your favorite washi tape!!
The reason why you have to make sure itโs dust-free is to ensure that the washi sticks to the base neatly.
Mansy says itโs important to cut the washi tape this way so that you wonโt end up having funny edges on your washi tape.
โฆand ta-daaaahโฆYou now have your washi coaster!
But wait, thereโs more! (โฆand I officially sound like a home TV shopping host). Hey Kessy is giving away 3 sets of DIY coasters which includes a washi tape, 3 cork coasters and a foam! ๐ To join the contest, get clicking below:
