Easy Upcycled Washi Tape Storage

Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make a big difference.  My washi tape storage method is one of those simple happy things. Like I said in the video, this is a system I've been using for years and it works really well.  I hope you'll give it a try!

As a side note, have you noticed that some washi tapes are just terrible in terms of functionality?  I have had to literally throw away tons of cute tape that (a) wouldn't stick and/or (b) wouldn't come off the roll.  It's so frustrating!  Let me know what your favorite brands of washi are.  I'd love to know!

Tonight I was frustrated with trying to reorganize my washi tape & some other craft supplies to make things work with a cart. Finally decided to search for ideas & here was yours! Ingenious simplicity & definitely still helpful 2 years after you posted this!! Thank you!!

Made these years ago as welI 😉… I have four full ones (I have way more washi in baskets lol), I decorated the outsides of the boxes. (Picture on my studio storage on Pinterest)

I was wondering what if a wooden dowl would work? They come in so many sizes.

GENIUS! I cannot believe I did not think about this before! TY for sharing!

Now I know why I keep my empty foil boxes!! Awesome idea!!❤️

[Mari-cres]

Fun idea! But I would need numerous boxes… instead I took an older style wire coat hanger, reshaped it to a circle, bending the ends to connect. I threaded the rolls onto it and hung it up. Now I can see the whole collection at once, and just move them around to ease the one I want off!

Absolutely great idea. I’m going to do this as soon as I have an empty parchment paper box. Thanks so much for sharing.

I do the same thing! I love my foil and parchment paper boxes for washi storage.

[ruthluther]

great idea. I heat gun the rolls that won't come off roll. never had a roll that didn't stick yet but I sometimes glue it down in my memory layouts

So glad you shared this! I have been wondering where to store my washi tape when I move it out of the handy little cabinet it currently lives in to make way for my growing number of distress oxides. You just gave me the perfect solution!

I have seen an online store that has created these boxes for embroidery stabilizer as well and I was thinking I could do this myself and you have shown that as well. Why pay $17 for a pretty box when we can recycle our foil boxes. Have an amazing day and thanks 😊
