How to make and create with washi tape

I had no idea there were so many ways to make and use washi tape. Over at the blog Mel Stampz there is an amazing collection of more than 100 ways to make and use washi tape. One of my favorites is the idea of painting on standard masking tape. Another “washi tape” idea is a fun way to store your handmade tape on a vintage wooden spool. These look pretty as themselves even before you use it.
