I’m a kind of a washi hoarder, and I got a notification for this video while browsing for washi tape on ebay hahaha

[@WindyIris]

Washi hoarders unite:)

[@jasmindervirdee9973]

I love this '5 ways to fill in your sketchbook series'

My favorite is the girl with the bird and cloud Washi. All are so cute!

[@Mona-lz4ue]

Omg Windy you just read my mind I was just searching in You Tube “Art with Washi tape” and your video just popped at the to p of my screen.Thank you ❤️

[@WindyIris]

That's a coincidence . . . either that or my mind reading classes are paying off;)

[@Amy-Bo-Bamy]

My friend gave me a beautiful paper - covered lidded box from Japan with a floral design. At first I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for but I found a little leaflet at the bottom of the box that said it was a washi box. So now I use it to hold my favorite rolls of washi tape. Notice I said favorite because I have so many rolls that they don't all fit. So glad for this tutorial so I can play around with these ideas and use more tape! 😃

[@WindyIris]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial Amy. A washi tape box sounds perfect, I actually need a way of storing my rolls. I'll have to find myself a box - I'll probably upcyle something:)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I have a couple of videos with ideas for using Washi tape... but your ideas are much better!
I love each of them... um... I think my favourite is the backgrounds and the silhouette is a close second... colour block next.

[@royalrleenz9391]

❤️Flowers and silhouette are my favorites that I'm likely to try. TFS! 👏🏼

[@WindyIris]

Hope you give them a go:)

[@melodylin5058]

I love this so much! I’ve been thinking about what to do with all the wash I tape I have! Thank you thank you! You’re so creative :)

[@renunegi1375]

I like your ways to fill sketchbook it's easier and pretty looking

[@bellnorton4453]

I really liked the background and silhouette.

[@kalik6801]

Great video! The mosaic and the silhouette are my favorites. I use washi tape in my bullet journal, but I've been looking for art ideas, so thank you. :)

[@WindyIris]

Glad you enjoyed the video Kali:) Thanks for watching.

[@marinamontebugnoli4505]

[@iamaylarenee]

I love kawaii pen shop, so that’s so exciting that you got sent stuff from them!

[@lovelychaerin21]

I love drawing and I mostly draw sailor moon. But as soon as I color that pic, I don't like it anymore. I want to try to color it with washi tape. I just bought a bunch of tapes. 😍😍

[@reafriesen5618]

That’s cool the ways u suggest how u can use the washy tape different ways. I luv the way u draw the heads. Thanks. 🙋‍♀️🦒♥️

[@WindyIris]

Glad you liked the video - thanks for watching Rea:)

[@slimewarsmeganandchloe8315]

I think the third one and the last one are my favourites

[@WindyIris]

Thank you:)

[@BambiOlsonLexi]

I love using washi tape in my paper crafting, but never looked outside the box, I have used mine for back grounds and just to add some new media to my crafting so far. Great video. tfs! hugs

[@WindyIris]

I like to also use the washi tape in card making, its nice for borders and pattern strips:)

[@BambiOlsonLexi]

Yes seems we have the same idea at least for that........ :)

[@dianadevlin3717]

I actually like the first idea best, ie the frame

[@yasmk66]

Wow ...I love your channel so much , and thanks for these ideas.Surely ,I'll try all these ideas ♡♥

[@WindyIris]

Thank you - hope you try out these ideas, they're lots of fun:)

[@mythyk_4316]

thanks aplenty for explaining how to cut washi tape - I don't have/use any but I'm thinking about it

[@Katie934]

Loved the video! :D I recently found some washi tape I didn't even know I had, so this video came out at the perfect time! ;) My favorite page is probably the mosaic one :))

[@WindyIris]

Thanks Katie - the mosaic one looks cool in the end I think:)

I just found my pack of washi tape and wanted to use it last week, I swear you always upload the exact video I need to help me with my art!

[@WindyIris]

That's good timing:)

[@christinesebor3449]

Background is best!

[@lylamcconchie615]

i have a idea put skips of washi tape down you page but leave gapes and then color betteen the washi and then peel it of done

[@8Veevie6]

Amazing results and ideas, my favorite was the color block way☺️👍✨

[@WindyIris]

Glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@Beautyofcolors]

Very beautiful video, and congratulations for your 100th video😄

[@WindyIris]

Thank you very much!

[@StarGirl-ft1it]

I liked the color blocking and the geometric one ☺️

[@WindyIris]

Thank you:)

[@MoistCrumpet]

I’ve bought some rolls of washi tape just because it looks really pretty and I wanna find some uses for it. But I don’t wanna waste it by using it like masking tape for my water paintings. That seems like a waste of such pretty tape. I really love the ‘picture framing’ idea. It’s very simple, but makes artworks look so much prettier,

[@B4leful]

YAY soooo early!! Also this video was very helpful for my art! And I love the art in the video.

[@WindyIris]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for coming by so early:)

[@B4leful]

i use washi tape in my art to use it to colored the block

Using washi tape to color is lots of fun:)

[@WindyIris]

Wow that's a big compliment - I know how important Harry is:) Thank you:)

[@wolfvolturi8789]

Windy Iris Art 😂

[@jessicaletts9762]

Another way I tend to do is a reverse silhouette. I will make a circle of washo tape and then use an exacto knife to cut out a shape like a cat or whatever. It usually ends up really nice.

[@sandybeebe9149]

wow instant back ground !!

[@WindyIris]

Yes it's pretty cool:)

[@CraftyAliConfessions]

OMG Windy, you are now one of my favourite YT’s. 😍 love both 3 & 4. You have given me heaps of creative ideas. ❤️ crafty hugs. Xox

[@elmo8138]

I am really a washitape collector but i rarely use it 😅 so this video really helped me, thanks ♥️

[@WindyIris]

I felt like washi tape was a supply that many people may have around:) Glad you liked the video.

[@fruitpunch9544]

So helpful and AMAZING!

[@WindyIris]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@WindyIris]

Feel free to share the video if you have any washi loving friends, I always appreciate it:) I also use washi it for masking, highlighting days on my calendar and general decorating:) Do you use washi tape? How do you washi?

[@kaia7248]

Windy Iris Art whenever I color, I use washi tape as a border and when I’m done, I peel it off so I have clean, beautiful lines. (Windy Iris if you want to see my art it’s @fuqingpiggies on Instagram) thank you windy iris for the tips BTW

[@artsyavede]

Hey I love your videos and I was wondering if you could make a video on ways to use fine liners :)

[@midhatsyed1034]

Windy Iris Art one with the wahi tape background and the last one

[@ioannamichalaki3639]

Windy Iris Art, the last one was my favorite!!! I also use washitape like u just not in my drawings..☺☺But i will sure try it, it seems so cool!!!! I really love your videos!! Keep the great job!!

[@emmalkyle]

[@TheChryseis]

I have SOOOOOO many rolls of washi tape lol. I used them to make the tail for a mermaid in my sketchbook the other day :)

[@WindyIris]

A mermaid tail . . . . I bet that looked pretty and just in time for mermay:)

[@chouxetteowo6842]

11:20 at a 3D sticker that says something positive on it and it should look amazing!

[@WindyIris]

That's a good idea:)

[@susannegyllengard9250]

New subscriber. Awesome video

[@mystlady85]

Cool ideas! I kind of did two of the ideas in my work. It turned out like a wallpaper background and it went nicely with the artwork I made. Maybe you can make a video using washi tape to accent different shapes. Just a thought.

[@WindyIris]

That's a good idea, if I ever make a another washi tape video I'll try to remember it:)

[@pinkrain3501]

So cool thanks!

[@WindyIris]

Thanks for watching:)

[@pinkrain3501]

Windy Iris Art my pleasure. Love your videos. They really help.😁

[@rebeccarobertson84]

Iliked all of them and I do collect

[@AnaCrisisBlu]

omg, you are very creative to come up with all those ideas! I love them! I'll do some pages in my sketchbook NOW!! :D

[@WindyIris]

Thank you Ana:) I've used washi tape to stick pages in my sketchbook too! I also find washi tape less likely to tear the paper when using it for masking, unlike masking tape:)

[@crackle295]

thanks so much
i have a HUGE pile of washi tapes,i have nothing to do with them.still love them tho

[@kartikchopra218]

Another way to use washi tape is to washi tape a shirt or outfit!💕❤️

[@WindyIris]

That's a good idea:)

[@kartikchopra218]

Windy Iris Art ): ❤️💕

[@anthonygabrish]

What kind of marker utensils were you using to color in the women you drew? Looked like they blended really well when you did the hair highlights and especially when you colored in her skin/face. I’ve gone through many types of markers for drawing/coloring, expensive and cheap ones, but hate the heavy bleed through and not being able to blend dark colors but what you used seemed great and looked great! Let me know please!!

[@WindyIris]

I'm using copic markers:)

[@mayjohnson964]

Can you do another sketchbook session please xx

[@WindyIris]

I actually just filmed an art challenge for a sketchbook session video - it will uploaded within the next couple of weeks:)

[@shiraabby9629]

What name of the knife that u using to cut the washi tape? I need to find out.

[@GreenHairGremlin]

I like to cover the front of my book with it to decorate it

[@foreveryoung4980]

does it needs to be sealed?

[@KyraPace]

I loved this video Windy!!!!😍

[@WindyIris]

Thank you Kyra:)

[@fritz10101]

Can I know what knife are you using? I’m sorry I wasn’t able to heard it correctly.

[@Klokoloko5]

This is early for me! Hello! Do you have any recommendations as to where to get “cheaper” washi tapes?

[@WindyIris]

Well the Kawaii pen shop I spoke of in the video sell theirs for under 3 dollars a roll and that's pretty inexpensive for washi tape:)

[@favsongs7500]

Where do you get the sketch books

[@afiamuqaddas8841]

2:48 that girl is just staring at ya😁

[@annask11]

Can you do tutorials on drawing bodies or hands?

[@WindyIris]

Thanks for the suggestion:)

[@mayjohnson964]

We’re do you get th stickers on the front of the sketchbook?

[@WindyIris]

They are from a set of printable stickers that I sell in my shop - link in the description box:)

1. already do that. 2. already do that. I use it in my artwork.

[@LindaUrsin]

How do you make sure not to cut through the paper? Those exacto knives are sharp

[@WindyIris]

I'm gentle with the tool - I'm not pressing very hard so it does not cut the paper:)

[@LindaUrsin]

That explains it :)

[@millertms7]

Liked them all. But I can’t draw 😕

You could collage elements instead of drawing if you wanted:) Drawings from magazines or printable collage sheets from etsy would work well.
