Why Add Washi Tape to Your Planner?
Washi tape is a versatile tool for planner decoration. Unlike stickers, tape can be torn by hand, repositioned, and used to create custom borders, flags, or backgrounds. The Crafty Girl Washi Tape (product ID WT002) is a 15 mm x 10 m roll designed by Mama Cat, exclusively available at PaperDollzCo. Its playful pattern adds a personal touch without overwhelming your spread.
If you are looking for a sticker alternative that gives you more control over placement, washi tape is a great choice. It works well for both weekly and monthly layouts, and you can layer it with other embellishments.
Simple Ways to Use The Crafty Girl Washi Tape
These ideas help you get the most out of your washi tape roll. No special tools are needed—just your planner and the tape.
- Create a decorative border: Tear a strip of tape and run it along the edge of a page or a column. This adds a colorful frame that defines sections without extra stickers.
- Mark important dates with flags: Cut a short piece of tape and fold it over the edge of a page to create a tab. Write the date or event on the tab for quick reference.
- Use as a background for small notes: Stick a piece of tape onto a blank area of your planner page. Write a to-do or reminder directly on the tape. The pattern makes the note stand out.
- Layer over other elements: Place washi tape over a sticker or a printed box to create a custom look. The tape's semi-transparent quality lets underlying designs show through.

Tips for Getting the Best Results
Washi tape is repositionable, but it sticks best to clean, dry paper. If you plan to write on the tape, test a small piece first to see how your pen reacts. The tape's surface may work better with ballpoint or gel pens than with fountain pens.
To avoid wasting tape, tear off only what you need. You can always add more later. If you make a mistake, gently lift the tape and reposition it. Over time, the adhesive may become less tacky, so try to place it correctly the first time.
