Tired of the same old organization methods? Washi tape can help you revamp your organization game! Use different colored tapes to label and decorate your storage bins, files, drawers, crafting storages, or even cables.

Nathalie DeSousa, where did you get the narrow set of washi tapes that goes from orange to yellow? I have all the other sets but never saw this one in the store. I wish Altenew would come out with a set of purples, my favorite color. Like all the inspiration in the blog.
Hi Arlene! Thank you for your comment! I think Nathalie used a combination of products from the Red Sunset Slim Washi Tape Set and Fall Harvest Slim Washi Tape Set. Sadly, Altenew doesn’t have a set in purples yet, but let’s hope they come out with a gradient purple washi tape soon! <3
Love the way you used the washi tape on your samples…..i so love washi tape but have trouble getting it off the roll without it tearing apart ….so you have any suggestions please……thanks. Carol
Washi tape can be tricky to peel off, since it’s delicate! We’ve all been there 😭 For issues like those, we recommend sticking a piece of paper to the end of the washi tape, and slowly rolling all sides upward at the same time using your fingers (instead of pulling at one side like we normally do with tape). Hope this helps!
