Downtown Tape Giveaway! {giveaway closed}

December 5, 2012 By crafterhours 104 Comments

I think you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a crafty person these days who doesn’t love washi tape.  I’m not even a crafter but I love it.  Actually, I think it’s the perfect product for a non-crafter because you can tear it off, stick it on, and voila: instant cuteness!!  I love stuff that makes it look like I tried.

Downtown Tape is a new purveyor of all things washi tape and every roll is a buck ninety nine!  Pretty sweet, huh?  I also love how simple and uncluttered their website is.  It’s a joy to browse around and find all the washi goodies you need.  Did I mention they’re all $1.99??

They have some really cute designs, including polka dots:

stripes:

and my fave, floral!

Not sure what to do with washi tape?  Here are a couple projects from Downtown Tape to give you some ideas (Also, you could google “washi tape project” and get approximately eleventygajillion results.  Bloggers really love their washi.):

 

I’m giving myself a break this year and wrapping all my presents in brown craft paper and then decorating with some simple washi tape.  It’s cute and simple, and once again, makes it look like I tried.  Nothing like making life easier for yourself around the holidays, amiright?

So, who wants to win their choice of 10 rolls of washi tape plus 25 printable gift tags from Downtown Tape?  Just leave a comment on this post telling us what you’d do with all that washi goodness!

Also, it’s not required, but you should “like” the Downtown Tape facebook page to be the first to know about new styles and promotions and see lots of fun project ideas.

Even if you don’t win some tape, everyone’s a winner today because Crafterhours sponsor Downtown Tape will send you 9 free downloadable, printable gift tags just for signing up for their newsletter.  Just head over to their website and sign up and you’ll be sent these blank tags perfect for decorating with some washi tape!

Giveaway open worldwide, void where prohibited, one comment per person, please.  A winner will be announced on Friday, December 7.  Good luck!
