I don't know why but I really 'enjoy' these two items. I tend to lean on the 'frugal' side and save all kinds of strings, ribbons, etc. I'm trying to 'simplify' and frequently wrap a package with a brown paper lunch bag secured with washi tape or baker's twine. I think it gives the gift a simple organic look and it saves money!
Washi tape is typically made from natural fibers, such as bamboo or hemp, but most commonly from the bark of trees that are native to Japan — the mulberry, the mitsumata shrub or the gampi tree. Most washi tapes are strong (as strong as duct tape in some cases!) and functional as well as pretty, making them wonderful for both everyday and decorative use.
