sticker paper for washi tape?

[gracielou]

Is there a printable sticker paper on the market that would give the feel and look of washi tape? I was wanting to try making my own washi tape. Anyone done this before? Any tips?

Jewelle had a great series on the blog not too long ago about DIY washi tape!

I've been meaning to try this myself!

There are printable washi sheets on the market. I know Silhouette makes some, but there are others too.

That would be cool to just print your own!

Those tutorials give you a pretty good idea what to use. I can tell you this from my own experience. I like the Avery labels best for stickiness. The Avery sticker paper is hardly sticky at all. Many times it would peel up on me. I'm not sure if this is because I live in a humid climate or not, but it drives me crazy. I admit I do keep going back to it though because I like the opacity of it. Now if you don't care about your washi looking totally authentic you could buy some half/full sheet printable sticker labels. I buy the OfficeDepot brand because it is cheaper and I love that stuff. I've never bought the Silhouette printable washi sheets because I find it WAY to expensive, and I can usually find an alternative that works just as well. Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions
