Washi Tape Madness!
I will be honest with you. My life sort of gets overrun by my intense spurts of excitement over trivial things (I'm a gemini if that makes sense). I get real excited about a tv show, and then I binge the whole series in one week on Netflix. Then I jump into a deep dark moody depression because my "show" is over. Until the next new thing sparks my interest of course!
I get excited over music, movies, books, websites, social issues, clothing, jewelry, all the same way!
I go *overboard*.
Right now, I'm in the midst of washi tape madness. I bought tons from ebay Japan that was disappointing. Then I spent WAY too much at Joann's for my classroom.. and now I've found a happy medium of AllyDrew Washi tape on Amazon! It's the highest rate/cheapest/prettiest tape on the internet!
Here's my loot so far this week!
This tape is rich.. thick.. and there's a lot per roll for the price! The top polka dot roll is actually duct tape minis- which I got at Walmart for $1.47. The stripey turquoise next to it I also got at Walmart for a buck! The rest though is AllyDrew Washi Tape that I bought on Amazon! I will post the direct links below. Be aware that the price changes daily sometime. I got mine for 9.80/pack.. but I see it's gone up a tad... it's still the best washi tape I've found for the price!!
Those are the exact rolls I bought!
Here are the rolls on my new wish list!!
Beautiful right?
Beautiful right?
I plan on covering everything that is ugly in my classroom with it, so we'll see how it goes. My first mini project is my filing cabinet, but I may ditch the hideous beast all together. The next thing is drawing out squares and rectangles for schedules and standards on my boards. Last year I used masking tape (decorative), but it was really expensive at 4.77/roll, so this year I'm trying out the washi tape! I will be sure to let you know how it goes!
Take care Teacher Friends!
This is sooooooooooo me. I finally bought one...after learning it's not called wasabi tape. I don't even have a nice planner, yet still love using it for my notebooks. I now have 7...just from the last few days ha.
ReplyDeleteI am SO on the washi tape addiction right now!!! Darn all the teachers posting their beautiful plan books dressed up with washi! I was looking at a bunch on Amazon too, but a lot of them had arrival dates of September... and I definitely can't wait that long! I am checking out AllyDew right now!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I love washi tape for all sorts of things. I use it to separate my white board into sections. I just covered my filing cabinet in contact paper, and then I tried to find Washi tape that matched. I couldn't, so I used white masking tape, and I love it! There are pictures up on my blog if you are interested. I am kind of a pretty filing cabinet nut, so if you do one, be sure to post it!
