I constantly used washi tapes at home to create mood boards and at work when I style shots. As mentioned in this post, unlike blue tack, masking tapes don’t stain your walls so they are perfect if you are renting or flat-sharing. Since Christmas is around the corner, I have done a round-up of the best things I’ve seen to inspire you and the great thing is that you can also get the kids involved.

You can customize plain tealights and if you can’t face a trip to the big Swedish giant, you can get some from John Lewis or make an advent calendar. Make an advent calendar for the children and even jazz up plain Kraft paper.

A couple of years ago, our Christmas was white and gold so I made mini flags out of washi tapes to decorate some mini apple pies and did a Christmas tree on the wall.
