Washi Tape Bookmarks
If you check my search history right now you’d find I’m obsessing with two things: Midori Travelers Notebooks and Washi Tape. OB-SESSED! Today you get a peek at my washi tape issues ;) I have a few washi tape crafts coming your way. They’re quick and easy to do and mostly inspired by posts found on Pinterest.
Let’s get crafting!
For this one, all you need is a piece of copy paper about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide, washi tape, magnets (magnetic tape in this case) and scissors.
Some variables to consider:
- Paper width: The wider your paper strip is the longer the bookmark.
- Washi Tape width: The wider your tape the wider your bookmark will be.
- Magnet strength: The more pages you want to mark the stronger your magnets will have to be.
Apply a piece of washi tape to the edge of the piece of paper allowing a little bit to hang over. Fold those edges over. Apply a second piece of decorative tape to cover the paper. This piece needs to be fairly exact with no overlay off the paper. Cut the taped paper from the rest of the strip.
Fold your washi tape strip in half with the raw edges on the inside. Cut two pieces of magnets and apply to the inside of the folded strip. Depending on the strength of the magnets adhesive, you may have to add extra glue.
TA-DA! Washi tape bookmarks! Mine are living in my Traveler’s Notebook for now. Watch for that post soon =)
What are you creating?
** I found my inspiration original! Thank you Christie of Lemon Squeezy Home for her Washi Tape Bookmarks and keeping me crafting!
How cool are these? They would make great stocking stuffers!
Thanks =) I found them on Pinterest and had to make them. The inspiration post had them on little cards to give as gifts.
awesome
Thank you. Pinterest fuels all my washi tape inspiration and obsession
Cuteee! I actually need a bookmark right now…. I’m reading Game of Thrones :D
Yay! Bookmarks for all! How is that book? I figure I should read it before jumping into the show.
Oh, love this! I like how easy these are because I would have to make about 20. Pinning. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday!
I am a HUGE fan of easy! If I can’t get it done in under 30 minutes I’m probably not going to do it. Thanks for stopping by!
Cute! Are you interested in new washi patterns? Check out my friend Meredith’s Kickstarter. She’ll be importing washi direct from a new factory in Kyoto. You’ll love her patterns: http://kck.st/1znV5fB
I’ll have to check it out. Love my washi so much it’s been added to my Christmas lists I give to everyone. I don’t care what size shape or color, give me washi =)
My two addictions brought together in symbol of love – reading and washi! Love this craft. Thanks for sharing – I will be trying this! #wakeupwednesday
=) it IS a great combo isn’t it? washi tape and books. Thank you for stopping by!
oh my goodness these are FAB! I am going to have to get some washi tape lol. I see it everywhere but have yet to jump on the bandwagon. This would be a great project for my daughter to make!
Thanks for sharing at Totally Terrific Tuesday! I have a special announcement to make tonight at the party!! Hope to see you at 10!

Why thank you! And they’re super easy to make. I made 3 this morning while I waited for things to run at work. I’ll be by your party tomorrow am =)
Sarah, that is easy-peasy genius!!! Of the variety that makes you think ‘why didnt’ I think of that?!’ They look great and are really practical because they won’t fall out! Brilliant.
Thank you for joining us at our linky party. I know you are a new contributor and I just wanted to say hi, and thank you, and that your wonderful contribution did not go unnoticed. Quite the contrary!
A new party will open in a matter of minutes and I hope to seeing you there again!
