{inspiration} washi pegs..

It's school holidays here at the moment and I always seem to get more creative with the little ones around.. probably because I just want them to enjoy what I do each day. We tend to jump from one activity to another as they are still very young.

So out came the wooden pegs and my washi collection the other day and I made a few more peg sets for my little store, simply by covering the pegs with washi tape and trimming neatly around the edges. 

The kids started off doing what I was then moved onto making the pegs into little puppets and dolls by drawing faces on them and making their clothing out of washi. Too cute.

{inspiration} washi tape

You may have noticed that the largest section in the ink. paper. cloth. store by far is the washi tape section. Some of my friends are wondering and constantly asking me what is the obsession with this fancy pants sticky tape.. and although there are so many ideas floating in my head, its kind of hard to explain a lot of the time. 

I've also been asked to do a workshop to demonstrate how washi tape works, what it does, and what you can do with it. Needless to say I've been busy busy making little goodies for the demonstration, but will have to wait to share the photos in a couple of months. Just to keep the workshop a bit of a surprise. 

So, I've hunted around and picked out some gorgeous ideas from around the web to share with you and get you inspired to create with washi tape.
