Washi Tape is a small accessory that can make a big difference in your diamond painting experience. Decorative, practical, and easy to use, it’s becoming increasingly popular among craft lovers. Here’s everything you need to know about it—and how to use it effectively!
1. What exactly is Washi Tape? 🧵✨
Washi Tape is a thin, decorative, and repositionable adhesive tape made from natural fibers like bamboo or mulberry. Originating from Japan, it’s widely used in scrapbooking, stationery, and home decor.
Its main features:
• Doesn’t damage surfaces.
• Can be removed and reused multiple times without leaving marks.
• Available in colorful, patterned, or simple designs.
2. What is it used for in diamond painting? 💎
In diamond painting, Washi Tape is mainly used to:
• Mark working areas: Frame off the section you're about to work on to stay clean and within boundaries.
• Protect sticky edges: Some canvases have excess adhesive beyond the design—Washi Tape helps cover those areas to prevent dust build-up.
• Work section by section: By creating a grid, you can progress methodically, square by square.
• Add decorative touches (optional): Some use it to embellish frame edges or the back of a DIY project.
3. How to use it properly? ✂️
Follow these simple steps for best results:
-
Cut it into long enough strips to outline or divide your canvas.
-
Stick it lightly onto the canvas so you can reposition it easily.
-
Move it as you progress—remove it from completed areas and reuse it elsewhere.
-
Do not stick over diamond areas—be careful not to hide symbols or affect the adhesive.
Conclusion: A small but super useful accessory! 🎯✨
