Description:

This is a swap for those of us that love washi tape, letter writing, and making people smile when they get our envelope decorated with colorful washi tape.

You will have one partner and you will:

  • write them a letter
  • decorate the letter with washi tapes
  • decorate the mailing envelope with washi tapes
  • include at least 3 different washi tape samples [Edited: please give a minimum of 12 inches (30.48cm) for each sample. I've given some examples on what to put your strips on in the comment section below.]

Here's a sample of a fun washi tape letter:

How do you make washi tape samples?

ArtyBeth3 07/ 1/2013 #

Washi Tape Samples - These are samples of 3 of your own tapes, sent for your partner to use.

Wrap them around a nonstick surface so your partner can peel them off easily. Examples of nonstick surfaces: a piece of thin cardboard, covered with wax paper; a piece of transparency or plastic sheet protector (office supplies); a coated/shiny surface piece of card stock; or I'm thinking a playing card would work nicely.

So, hopefully this answers your question, @Lila84

I usually put mine around an empty stickersheet-wrapping. I have taken a picture of it for one of my swaps:

Mine is ready even before i signed up... i put mine on a card tag and covered it with deco tape then rolled the washi around it. :)

I like to wrap my washi tape samples on popsicle sticks like they do here
