{Obsession Confession: Japanese Tape}

I have an obsession confession...I LOVE Japanese tape {I'd have to say my friend Ros probably loves it more...lol - inside joke - she's bought LOTS} but I really love the idea of taking a plain gift bag, or gift box and decorating it up with this awesome tape! BUT, you don't have to stop there - after doing a search around the web, I found several great photos of DIY projects that kicks using this tape up a few notches...check em out:

{After seeing some of the inspiration above, I made this candle holder last night by simply wrapping some wire around an old jar, adding a few beads, wrapping a few strips of tape around jar, and dropping in a tea light. I kind like it! What do you think?}

If you too have been inspired and are looking to buy some Japanese tape of your own, then you don't have to look very far - it's everywhere. My favorite shops are:
