Want to be able to quickly jump between months, or find key pages in your journal? Simply fold a piece of washi tape over the edge of a page to form a handy page marker! You could even match it to a tape or colour scheme you’ve used that month.
1. MOOD / HABIT TRACKER
Looking for even more creative ways to use Custom washi tapes in your bullet journal? How about incorporating them into a mood tracker or habit tracker? This polaroid-inspired page was so fun to put together!
Each polaroid is 4 x 5 squares so it works best for months that are 30 days long. This method works particularly well if you’re indecisive and want to change your mind about that day’s mood, or if you accidentally use the wrong colour! Don’t forget to add a key so you remember which tape corresponds to which mood.
2. SPOOKY SPACE BAR
But of course, custom washi tapes can be used for so much more than decorating journals and mail! This “spooky space bar” is by the far the quickest and easiest “project” on this list, but mine’s been bringing me so much joy this week.
I’ve seen photos of keyboards with washi on every key, but I’m not sure I’m confident enough in my touch-typing to venture there yet!
3. PATTERNED PAPER CHAINS
Once you’ve decorated everything on your desk with washi tape, it’s time to attack the walls and furniture! I’ve always had a soft spot for the retro charm of paper chains, and I love that these work for any season, celebration or colour scheme.
Custom washi tapes I chopped some junk mail into 15mm strips, tore some slightly longer strips of washi in four co-ordinating designs and voila! No wasted staples, no waiting for glue to dry, AND you can open and close the links as needed: Very handy for altering the length, or attaching them to things.
