Why do I love washi tape?  Because it makes virtually everything cuter.  You can add a little bit of it to just about anything and it instantly has personality and flair.  Even the most mundane items, like office supplies, can benefit from a little bit of the colorful, sticky stuff – and since it peels away easily without leaving a glue-y residue, you can seriously go crazy with it.  Jessica from How About Orange used a wee bit of washi to liven up some thumbtacks and kiss the boring bulletin board blues goodbye; what other everyday things can you think of to decorate with washi tape?  [how to make washi tape covered thumbtacks]

Project estimate:

• Thumbtacks, on hand or $1
• Washi tape, on hand or $1 and up

Total:  Free and up
