  2. I would love to win the Washi tape book for my grandaughter. She is very interested in crafts.

  3. I have rolls and rolls of washi tape! My kids and I love it, and would love some new creative ideas!

  5. I have dozens of rolls of washi tape and would love to have this book and share fun ideas with my grand daughter.

  6. Would love to win this! Looks like a fun thing to share with my boss’s kids to give them things to do during the summer when they spend a lot of time with me in the office.

  7. I would love to win this book. I have accumulated many rolls of washi tape but don’t have creative ideas on how to use them.

  9. I am a program director for a Girl Scout day camp in June. This book looks like the perfect way to find ideas for craft projects. Thanks for the chance!

  11. I would love to get this book for the special needs teenager that lives with me. She loves crafts and art, but she has lots of trouble creating without step-by-step instructions. We went to the Dollar Tree this weekend and stocked up on craft supplies for Mothers’ Day gifts….8 different rolls of Washi Tape included (and there were still more designs from which to choose!). Crafts do not need to be expensive…you just need to think outside the Crayola Box 🙂 Most “Dollar Stores” have popsickle sticks, Washi tape, clay, glitter, paint, hot glue, baker’s twine, hombre string, pony beads, paint brushes, Mod Podge, construction paper, stencils, vases, plastic flowers, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, pom-poms, etc. For all of those grandparents and babysitters out there, use your resources wisely. I used to keep a medium-sized box of craft supplies bought at the dollar store in my closet for those occasions where my nephew came to visit. The craft station has grown over time, but if you just buy about $5 worth of supplies each month and add it to the box, then kids will find a way to use it creatively. Trip #1 = crayons, construction paper, water color palette and brush, scissors, tape (clear).

  12. This would be just the right book to have for the little ones I babysit! They
    – and I – all love washi tape!!

  24. Perfect book for our public library collection! I do twice weekly STEAM read aloud programs for tiny tots, and twice monthly adult crafts programs. Mahalo for the op to win a new book for the library.

  26. This looks like a fun and beautifully colored book that I would love to share with my 3yr old little boy. He loves trucks and things he can make with washi tape (and stickers). Washi is must for every household.

  37. My daughter loves Washi tape. She got a whole set for Christmas. This would be great for her!

Recycled Paper Cylinder Face Art – A Colorful Win for All Ages

I recently stumbled across this super creative project on Instructables – “Face With Recycled Paper Cylinders” – and I had to share it with you all because it’s just the kind of craft that checks all my favorite boxes: recycled materials, hands-on creativity, and fun for literally any age.

The idea is simple but genius—roll strips of recycled paper (think junk mail, old magazines, leftover printer paper) into cylinders, then arrange and glue them to form a unique abstract face. You can make it funky, realistic, Picasso-inspired—whatever your mood or style dictates!

What I really love is the blend of eco-conscious crafting with true artistic expression. This isn’t just another kids’ project—it’s something you could easily do with a group of little ones, a classroom full of teens, or even as an adult art therapy or weekend wind-down activity. It’s super relaxing and surprisingly satisfying seeing all those paper rolls come together to form something new and expressive.

The tutorial itself is easy to follow, with plenty of visuals to guide you along the way. You don’t need any fancy materials—just glue, paper, scissors, and a board or piece of cardboard to serve as your canvas.

I also appreciate how this project leaves so much room for personalization. Want to make it into a full face? Go for it. Prefer to focus on a single eye or mouth? Totally works. You can even play with color schemes by choosing papers with a certain palette, or painting over them once they’re rolled.

In short: this is a total keeper for anyone who loves crafting with purpose. It’s the kind of project that sparks creativity while gently reinforcing the idea that beautiful things can come from what we usually throw away.

Highly recommend giving it a go—solo or with a group. And if you try it, tag me or drop a pic—I’d love to see your recycled masterpiece!
