Hi everyone! I uploaded a studio vlog where I walk you through my design process of making washi tapes. This video would be the perfect next step after you've found your manufacturer. Thanks for all the requests to make it and I hope it helps! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/R7U2b38Ou3s/видео.html

Thank you so much for these tips 😊 I've fallen in love with the idea of washi tapes and it would be awesome to make my own one day. I have one question tho when designing what size canvas do you use? I also only have access to illustrator
They were super fun to make 😊 I don't remember exactly the length (it was 150mm and 250mm depending on whether I wanted it matte or foiled) and a height of 18mm. This MAY differ with manufacturers so it's best to ask them to check 😊
Hi! Thanks for the video! ❤️ I'm currently working on some designs and looking for a manufacturer, but I have a question about the finish. I noticed many have that as one of the steps in the process and option for matte or glossy, but I didn't even realize that was a thing for washi! I'm not sure what all the ones I own are. Did this come up for you when discussing? Do you know if they default to one or the other? Thank you so much for any insight you have! 🥰
hmm i've never heard of a glossy finish. I've only dealt with matte and foiled washi. I'm assuming matte is the general non-foiled washi tapes and the most common type of washi (and also cheaper!). I do have a roll of washi tape (that I got separately) which feels like a thicker clear material so many that's what they mean by glossy? If anything, you could ask your manufacturer for some photos to see the difference between the two! Hope this kind of helps.
hi. Thank you for this video. But I was wondering how your page looked liked. Was it just one crazy long strand of design or just one line or one repetition? Or maybe the print page with many design lines under each other?
Do you mean how the design canvas looked like? It was basically one really thin horizontal canvas with my design repeated 3-4 times. It does look kind of strange on the canvas haha
Hey thanks for the tips. By roll does that mean like the individual tapes or 1 whole roll with multiple designs cut into diff sizes? Bec i see some with prices per roll then there's prices per pieces.
They should mean the same thing but it doesn't hurt to double check with the manufacturer! I would take it as one roll means one individual tape. Hope that helps! 😊
I'm glad it helps ^^ I start on the size based off what my manufacturer wanted. I can then export the file as a photoshop (psd) file to edit in Photoshop.
Hi! Thanks for the video! May I know when you do your design on procreate, do you draw them in cmyk or rgb? I usually do my artwork in rgb because they will be posted on social media by default. If I were to make them into washi tape, does that mean I have to convert them into cmyk first?
I drew mine in CYMK because that's what my manufacturer wanted and yes I converted it before drawing! My friends who studied graphic design said rgb is mostly used when doing art for online and CYMK for if you're creating physical items 😊
When the design is in jpeg then it was cropped into the size of regular washi tape then has the design for the length of example 3". What will I ask to the manufacturer to make the roll 5m in length with the continuous design? Will they edit them for me?
From my experience, you'll have to repeat the design on your own for a few patterns to meet their horizontal image requirements (mine was around 150mm). After that, they will edit it for you so it keeps going for the full 5m.
Hello , I was surprised for the cost of the sample I asked in alibaba. I ask 22 items of washi tapes for quotations and customized with my own logo. It’s 95USD for the 22 items of sample to be send here in Europe. It’s quite expensive to ask a sample
yeahh it was really expensive to get samples for me too :( i kinda just hoped for the best the first order haha but they did have a lot of good reviews already so i did feel safer ordering from them.
thank you for this video! i already sent out a design to my manufacturer and they just told me yesterday that they shipped out my rolls! i forgot to ask about packaging and i haven't designed a logo or anything like that. do you have any tips on packaging washi tapes or where to find packaging supplies?
You could probably buy some sticker paper from Walmart, staples, or target (if you're in the states). Then you can draw a small design on your apps and print it onto the sticker sheet. If you don't have a sticker cutting machine, you would have to hand cut it 🙃 but it's cost efficient! Just takes longer 😅 a quick little way to jazz up your washi tapes! Haha All the tapes SHOULD already come wrapped in heat shrunk plastic (although I can't guarantee 100%).
hello. what is the paper called used in making the regular washi? and what do they use to stick it? i want to do the washi tape like a regular one but i don't know the materials :(
Hi there! My dimensions were specific to my manufacturer. I cannot guarantee that what mine was will be the same as yours. It best to ask your manufacturer for their exact dimensions :)
I may be a bit late, but I was wondering what the average shipping cost is! I know that it can differ between the manufacturers and the amount ordered/weight, but it would be great to know an average! (This is of course if you'd want to share)
Hmm I'm not too sure how much it would be for everywhere else :( mine was $55USD. It would depend on how many rolls you get and where you live. Maybe you can use mine as an estimate. Hope it helps!
Did you have to worry about a freight forwarder and if so, could you explain how the process works for that? Do they pay? do you pay? Or is it included in the price? Also did you have to pretend you are a big company to make an order? Thanks in advanced! Great video! ❤️
Hihi! I'm not sure what a freight forwarder is so I'm going to say no 😅 also no I didn't have to pretend to be a big company. I don't even think they asked me why I was making it 😂
@@DoodlesnTea Oh wow! Thanks for the reply! When I watch other you tubers who specifically make videos on how to buy from Alibaba, they talk about getting a Freight Forwarder (basically it’s how the product gets from the manufacturer to your warehouse or home). I find it confusing so I’ve been so scared to order. They also say to pretend to be a big company b/c Alibaba will not want to waste their time on someone who won’t make big orders. I’m not a good liar so I don’t feel comfortable doing that - HA! I’ve seen other You Tubers like you order like it’s no big deal at all. I’m so glad I asked you because it’s been bothering me about how complicated others make it seem. I appreciate your reply so much! ~ Sorry, I’m long winded. It’s 1:30AM and I’m researching. 😁
@@CherryBlawesome haha no worries! Well at least from the few manufacturers I've talked to (and the ones I ended up going with), they had no issues with delivering it from their location to mine. All I had to do was pay the custom fees for it. Maybe it's something based off location as well? I'm based in Canada. Wish I could help more but yeah I've never experienced having to deal with that or manufacturers not wanting to work with me because I'm a solo entrepreneur haha they do have a minimum order quantity per roll but that's usually between 50-100 (depends on manufacturer).
@@DoodlesnTea - Thanks so much, Hun! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer in detail. This helps me so much and eases my mind. I was specifically searching for Canadians buying from Alibaba and your video came up - so I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ll be watching more now that I’m a subscriber! Wishing you so much success in everything you do! ❤️

Thank you for sharing!! I’m an avid junk journaler and I’ve often thought about making my own!
I'm not sure if I'm an acid journaler but I just love getting stationery and using it for different things 😅😂
Omg, I ordered my washi tapes and paying duties/customs didn't even cross my mind! I guess I'll see when I get them >.
Yeaahh it wasn't something I thought of too until I got the email for it haha
So kind of you to share all this! Incredibly helpful, thank you!!
Aw thank you 😊 I'm glad it helped! 💙
This was so helpful (especially the added bit about customs cost to Canada, as I also live in Canada so its great to know)! Thank you so much!
hooray! i'm glad to hear :) yeah i don't know why i didn't expect it based off the weight but it's something to keep in mind as an extra cost ^^"
Oh wow, excellent! Thanks for sharing this video!!
No problem! Thanks for watching 😁
I have a question do you end up using the same manufacturer for stickers to as well as washi tape? Thank you for your help

@@DoodlesnTea Thanks for your reply! Yeah, maybe it's a specialty thing. I'll definitely ask for photos!
This popped up in my feed just now! Very informative, thank you! May I ask from all the manufacturers you've asked, what the range is for the MOQ? :)
Yayy glad it helped 😊 usually the MOQ is 50 from my experience

@@DoodlesnTea I think I have to deal with it and try. Thank you for your helpful info it helps a lot! :)
@@Craftytionery no problem! I'm glad it helped! Best of luck :D
Do you copyright the artwork on your washi tapes?
No I do not but I do try to put watermarks on as many of my items as possible!
this is so helpful! thank you so much!!
I'm glad it helped 😊
Love this video!! Thank you for sharing this information 💙

I'm not quite sure what materials they use to make it. Sorry :( all the production is handled by my manufacturer!
@@DoodlesnTea oh. thank you :)
Do you talk with the manufacturer via mail / any personal contact?
And, is there a custom payment if I lived around asia also?
That I'm not too sure about :( sorryyy
can you do it without printer,doublesided tape,🥺🥺🥺
Yes! Send it to a manufacturer 😁👍
@@DoodlesnTea SORRY I DIDNOT UNDERSTAND😅
@@gurungprathana8950 do you mean if I can make it WITH a printer and double sided tape? I'm not sure how to make it like that 😅
Thank you so much, this was super helpful 🙏🥺
Aw I'm glad to hear 😊
Thank you for sharing your advice on this :)
Of course ^^
0.50c each, single sticker? For each role of washi?
Yes that's correct
Hi, can you please give me the dimensions of your design? The one you create on procreate...
Hi there! My dimensions were specific to my manufacturer. I cannot guarantee that what mine was will be the same as yours. It best to ask your manufacturer for their exact dimensions :)

sure! What questions do you have?
Can we chat somewhere else like on messenger if you don’t mind?

Not me looking at that Baekhyun sign for the whole video.. 🤦🏻♀️

it was a banner I got from the superm concert I went to XD
