Ever wonder how some people get their Washi perfectly lined up in a square or just cut so straight and not hanging out of the box or anything? I used to wonder too. Someone on the Facebook group-we love ec – asked this same question. And that’s where I learned this clever trick!
All you will need is your Washi tape and your EC ruler! Or any plastic ruler or laminated edge.
No scissors needed! Every time I use a scissor my tape ends up cutting diagonally!
Step 1: line up your Washi where you would like it
Step 2: place your ruler’s edge to the line where you’d like to cut the Washi
Step 3: hold your Washi close to the edge and pull upwards to rip it against the edge
Step 4: admire your perfectly straight cuts!
Hope that helps you out in decorating your pages quickly and easily!!
Happy planning!
Awesome! ^^
Your whole blog is very cool, by the way, I'm reading about planners, making my own, and your posts were very helpful, thank you for sharing your work! ^^
I used to do this in highschool for projects using masking tape. Makes me wonder why I didn't remember to do it this way until I read this post. Probably because I haven't been in highschool for 12 years and have forgotten how to use my brain. Haha. Thanks for reminding me!
Brilliant! I'm tired of cleaning sticky off of my scissors…
Brilliant. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. I was losing my mind trying to make mine pretty and straight.
For paper washis is perfect idea, thx
