Looks nice! Hey, if it works, it works right?

It's worked for a while, and keeps my headphones on my head and out of landfill :)

I just bought some washi tape to repair a book - any advice? I haven't used it before.

Unfortunately I'm a novice with washi tape. I bought a pack for something last year and found it doesn't adhere well to a lot of surfaces. Whether that's the cheap stuff I bought or the type of tape in general I don't know. This has been layered over some stronger decorators masking tape.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try a couple of experiments and see how I go. I just tried to use spine tape and it was a disaster.

Washi tape is meant to come off, so that’s why it doesn’t adhere so well! I’d recommend a sturdier tape on bottom and then covering with cute washi tape ❤️
