Make bookmarks with tape
I'm still waiting for TV producers to create Hoarders: Washi Tape Edition, because I bet there are enough of us out there to make an entire series. Why in the world is it so satisfying to collect decorative tape?
Here's a way to put some of that stock pile to good use (unless you're one of those people who uses an electronic gadget to read books. Me, I prefer paper pages.)
I used some Jonathan Adler paper tape, plus a bit of orange washi tape, to make some easy patterned bookmarks.
I placed three strips of tape side by side on a sheet of cardstock and trimmed it into a rectangle. Then I printed up a little Groucho Marx humor and attached the quote with more tape.
To make your own, download the Groucho quote right here. Print the page, cut out the little rectangles, and attach them to patterned paper or taped-up cardstock.

Very cute idea! I totally hoard washi tape and this looks like a great use for it :)
I think I know what our Courtney project might be for this afternoon! BTW, if your tape stash gets out of hand, you can always share (with me), of course! ;)

Fantastic quotation! Haha! Believe it or not, I have yet to buy my first roll of washi tape. But I want to. Oooohhhhh, I want to.
I don't know if you'll be able to hold out much longer.
I think I would just glue the quote to the bookmark. The orange tape is distracting and doesn't look as nice...
Also, I haven't bought any either. Once I start my scrapbooks, I will get some though. :D
Love the whole shebang! And congrats on turning me from Washi-Curious into Officially Obsessed.

I like it! I want to make something like this for a bookmark but I will have to laminate it because I'm scared to destroy it. I'm so clumsy hahaha but anyway, it's a great bookmark! horray for decorative tapes!! :D
