Description:

Follow these 10 easy steps to send your partner some happy washi mail:

  • Step 1: Read your partner's profile.
  • Step 2: Choose 4 different washi tapes from your tape stash you think will make your partner happy, and "wrap up 18-inch samples of each tape" on a surface the tape can be easily removed from (playing cards work well, or card stock covered in clear packing tape).
  • Step 3: Using those same tape designs, make your partner a washi note card. You can do the same design as the one I made above, or Google washi cards for other inspiration.
  • Step 4: Write a note to your partner inside this washi note card. Tell a little about you and your day. Feel free to write anything you want - my main point here is to write more than just "hi, here is the swap." :)
  • Step 5: Put the 4 washi tape samples into the note card.
  • Step 6: Put the note card into an envelope.
  • Step 7: Decorate your envelope with, what else? WASHI TAPE!
  • Step 8: Address the envelope to your partner and add your return address too.
  • Step 9: Put proper postage on your envelope.
  • Step 10: Send this happy washi mail to Partner #1.

Now repeat these steps for Partner #2.

Have FUN!! :)

Do we use the same 4 washi tapes on the envelope as well or does any kind work?

@guinstar you may use the same tapes on the envelope if you would like, but you don't have to. The main thing is you need to make a card using the same tapes you give as the 4 samples.
