washi tape

Another craft supply that was impossible to resist, even if I didn't need it: washi tape. I've seen it online but not in any stores around here. And I can at least refrain from buying craft supplies I don't need when it requires online ordering - but then I came across a bunch of it at a department store in Japan, and it wasn't too expensive...

aren't they fun? I kind of wanted to buy the whole display but restrained myself to these 5

I used them to jazz up some plain white candles I had sitting on the mantle. I always meant to embellish them somehow, so this is nice for a change, but not permanent, in case I ever want to do something different. You could also similarly embellish lampshades, vases, glasses, Easter eggs, and more!
