I love this idea! You can use baking paper as a base instead of the plastic table mat. That way you can leave the tape on it and simply roll the whole sheet up using an empty paper towel roll.
I had a whole box of expired micropore tape so I looked up artistic uses for it rather than simply tossing it out. Very happy to have found your video, thank you!
I can not thank you enough for ending my quest to finding the right tape to make this! Excellent way of making washi tape! Thank you so much! I love how you stamped it! keep up the great work!
I love the translucency of the tape- and of course your artistic touches- I can see Tim Holtz coming out with a close facsimile!! And the touch of gold really makes it so elegant. You always inspire and amaze me- thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. ☺️
Thanks Lisa, the transparency of the tape is what I like about it. Oh gosh, imagine a Holtz version, it would be epic. I must experiment more, I have more ideas to try out!
Another great video. I bought some of that tape with the idea of making it into washi - going to give it a try. Love the book page technique too. Good idea putting it on a board and doing loads at once. That beetle tape - divine!!
Your home-made washi-tape is excellent, those colours are glorious. Loved how you did the book page one, I wonder what it would be like over a black and white picture in a book, ofc it would only have to be quite narrow cos of the size of the tape, but might be worth an experiment. Tfs xo
How Fun and what a fantastic way to make your own washi tape! Definitely going to try this! Thinking about doing the pull technique with printed papers, might be interesting. Or maybe trying a lift from the paper to the top of the tape.
Such fun, Kari. And to have the washi tape to use in the end is a bonus lol. I love the bugs! That was my favorite, I think. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Just now discovered you up here. I love this washi tape look with medical tapes. I've got to give this a try soThank you for the suggestion. Not to mention, I'm a new subie and I could listen to your voice overs for hours! :)
Thank you so much Kari that’s really really awesome. I really really love 💗❤️❤️❤️ the tape when turned into Washi tape. And I really really love ❤️ the bugs and swirls too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thank you very much, Mags, I am glad you like the tape, I think I could have made a better job of it and will try out some other ideas now I see how it works. Stay safe and well, too Mags xxx 💗❤️💗
I like to use washi tape but rarely find any that I like. This is a perfect way to get exactly the colors you want. I have a few new pads of distress oxide that weren’t the colors I had anticipated and now I think they will be perfect for this. How are you storing it for later use?
Thanks Kate, yes it gives you the control to do what you want. The distress oxides would be great, I am sure. I wrapped the red one around a piece of plastic the size of a credit card, but found it lifted some of the paint a bit. the insect one, I have left on the plastic sheet I used to make it and will leave it there until I use it, I think.
@@KariGibsonArt Maybe for my birthday in September - they are quite dear! (I have been using stamps that I got so long ago that some are cracking and breaking!)
lovely- I never trust washi tape, I always glue- I have some micropore tape and will try this -tfs- I wonder if we could use a very large acrylic block if we don't have a large piece of plastic.
Thanks Kathy, yes, I always glue washi, it just comes of at a later date otherwise. I suppose any surface that isn't porous would work instead of the plastic, probably best to test it out first! 💗💗
Everything which is translucent I just love! This is a fantastic project Kari, I especially fancy the second batch, I can't wait to see how you use it in your future journaling 💙
@@KariGibsonArt ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 Thank you for that Kari, I appreciate you mentioning my channel and most of all I feel very proud of having suggested something to you. something you love and would use on your beautiful journal pages ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
These look wonderful! Funny, I recently threw away some similar old medical tape!!! Can you tell me again what you were using for a base, on which to put the tape? TFS.
Darn, you could have used it, mind you, it isn't expensive to buy. I used a plastic place mat that I bought from B&M earlier in the year to cut down for book covers. You can also use glass or plastic chopping boards. Thanks for watching, Elaine!
Thank you so much, it was fun, I would make some more handmade washi, but I got given a load of lovely tapes for Christmas that I still haven't touched! 💗💗
Gorgeous tapes, Kari! I made some months ago and i used painter tape, it works well too 💖 I love yours, the second one is stunning with that gold touches 😊
Hello! Great video! I love it and i wanna going do it myself. In the video i saw a lot of thin paper, i think tissue paper: with that dragonfly on it. How did you made it and on what way do you use it? Very nice. Greetings Maartje
Ooh I missed this one, I keep meaning to have a go at making my own washi tape... They were lovely.. Not sure why the stamps didn't work on that blue... Very odd! Maybe it's that particular colour being a transparent blue... Still turned out lovely 😁😁💖
@@KariGibsonArt yes I've seen people use masking tape too... Or you could use double sided tape and stick things down, I suppose that's more like a snippet roll though 🤔😁 have fun xx 💖😁🌷
@@KariGibsonArt Wilkos do 2" double sided tape, it's in the hardware section.. Just FYI my Mum uses it to stick her cross stitches down to her card blank xx
@@KariGibsonArt I DID IT! So exciting!!! Just plain black using a sharpie for a trial run but I love it. So cost effective too and can tailor to what you need! I just need some masking tape now for the ones that may bleed. Thanks again… you’re simply amazing!!! 🤩
@@KariGibsonArt Thanks! I was afraid you wouldn't see my question since this video was a while ago. But I just purchased some of the surgical tape and your video is a huge help!

Kari- great technique! Katanya, What a great idea for storage! ❤❤
What a great idea
oh thanks for that info
I had a whole box of expired micropore tape so I looked up artistic uses for it rather than simply tossing it out. Very happy to have found your video, thank you!
Yay, you will put it to good use now! 💗💗
I Like when IT IS translusant. Thank you for charing. Watching from Germany ♥️🙋
Thanks for watching! ❤️

I liked it, Kari. I usually add gesso on my tape first, to get a better base. I use painters tape though. Yours were so gorgeous! 😍❤
Ahh, maybe I should have used gesso to start - great idea, Ulrika. You sent me some on painters tape and I love it!
Another great video. I bought some of that tape with the idea of making it into washi - going to give it a try. Love the book page technique too. Good idea putting it on a board and doing loads at once. That beetle tape - divine!!
Thanks Leanne - I can't decide if I like the book page one or the beetle one best. I am glad you are going to try it!
these look great, awesome idea using translucent tape! esp like the small detailed stencils on it...of course your colour choices are amazing!
Thanks so much, Becca, it was something different and I am glad you like it! 😊
Love it! I’m going to try it. Clear surgical tape is so handy in journals.
Thanks Jenn, it is, I love using it! 💗💗
Very fun idea! I like that you speeded it up :-). Hello from San Francisco 😎
Thank you very much! 💗
Great how creative and the result looks phenomenal, thanks for showing
Thanks so much, Isabel! 😊

Thanks Elizabeth, I am glad you like them. I love the book page one too and what a great idea to try over a B&W picture. I will try that! ❤️😊 ❤️
I tried the book page, but it didn’t work. I’ll have to try some different books.
How Fun and what a fantastic way to make your own washi tape! Definitely going to try this! Thinking about doing the pull technique with printed papers, might be interesting. Or maybe trying a lift from the paper to the top of the tape.
OH yes, that sounds like it would work, let me know how you get on, different inks will probably have different results, I think.
@@KariGibsonArt Will do, and yes I think so too.
So much inspiration! I’ve never heard of this tape, I’ll have to check the first aid kit! :) thanks Kari!
Thanks Cheryl, I hope you find some to try out!
Microporous tape is for us people allergic to plasters 🙄🙄😁
What a great idea! I bet small children would like ot on their poor lies too!!!
Seriously though its gorgeous and cheap! 🥰💕🥰
Thanks Toni, yes it will be good for micro poorlies! It is nice to have my own designs anyway! 💕🥰💕
Such fun, Kari. And to have the washi tape to use in the end is a bonus lol. I love the bugs! That was my favorite, I think. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! Like
Thank you, Annie! Cheers!
Wonder if watercolor would work?🤔
I have a feeling watercolour won't work, Suzanne, the surface is quite slick. 💗💗
what kind of paint do you use with the stencils?
Hi Linda, I usually use Daler Rowney System3 Acrylics when I am stenciling, although sometimes I use gouache, but that is rare. 💗💗
