tape that makes us happy: japanese masking tape
From the country that brought us Harajuku style, anime, and Maru comes this super kawaii (cute) innovation: Japanese Happytape, now available in the United States and making its brightly colored presence known around the blogosphere. Made from washi paper, Happytape has a million uses besides making me smile. Seriously — there’s an entire blog full of projects for inspiration. The tapes are perfect for low-impact crafts such as gift wrapping, card making, scrapbooking, and just making anything a little less mundane. — Katie D.

How resilient is this tape? My fridge handles are cracked and I am looking for an easy cover-up.

Since it’s basically masking tape, I’m not thinking it would be made to stand up to being touched over a long period of time. But I haven’t actually used it — readers?

I want to cover everything in my house with this! If only I could decide which ones to buy!

good-bye scotch tape! you can take your dull, colorless self out of my life. I’m tired of tape being so see through and awful.

I am in love with these tapes. I can use them everywhere and on anything! I got mine from a store called “littlehappythings1″ on Etsy. They are new, but their price is the best so far as I know and the owner is very sweet to deal with. If anyone is interested, you can check here:

I love shopping here, the prices are fair and selection is great. No hidden cost in shipping and I get free shipping from time to time depending on what I order.
