What materials are used in decorative washi tape? This question is often raised by buyers, crafters, and stationery enthusiasts who want to understand why decorative washi tape has become so popular in recent years. Unlike conventional adhesive tapes, decorative washi tape is primarily made from natural fibers, most commonly derived from traditional Japanese paper known as “washi.” These fibers are typically sourced from plants such as mulberry (kozo), mitsumata, or gampi, which provide a soft texture, lightweight structure, and a semi-transparent appearance that makes washi tape visually appealing and easy to work with.
