Penning notes in your planner can be a tiresome task, but adding color to your calendar may make it more enjoyable to look at and to update.

The problem with highlighters is that you usually can't undo the marks without ruining the paper. Enter the washi tape — a type of translucent masking tape that comes in different colors and pretty patterns. Using pretty tape to showcase your different projects will make your calendar more visually appealing and easier to analyze. If there is an urgent project, you can always mark it with pink or red washi tape and mark more casual events in lighter tones. That way, you'll be able to prioritize with ease.

Move over, duct tape — there's a new crafting tape in town and both moms and tots are loving it. Washi tape — also known as Japanese paper tape — is similar to masking tape but much prettier. Made from natural fibers like bamboo and hemp, the strong tape comes in beautiful colors and patterns — and doesn't leave residue once it is removed from walls — making it ideal for kids' arts and crafts projects. Keep reading for some fun uses for the tape, as well as some cute patterns specifically designed for tots!

Easy DIY: Use Washi Tape For Party Decor

Do you want to create colorful banners or bunting for an upcoming wedding or party, but your sewing skills aren't up to snuff?

Do you want to create colorful banners or bunting for an upcoming wedding or party, but your sewing skills aren't up to snuff? Simplify the process by skipping the fabric store and picking up some washi tape instead.

This DIY couldn't be simpler. Start by picking up several rolls of your favorite washi tape — the washi tape shown here is from Lotta Jansdotter's exclusive limited-edition line. Lotta is offering several different types of washi tape, but my favorite of her designs is the Aqua Berries Washi Tape ($10.50 for three rolls).

You'll need something to "string" your washi tape to. I love the look of hemp or jute twine, but you could go for a more refined look by choosing circular or flat satin ribbon or grosgrain ribbon. Then simply fold your washi tape in half over your ribbon or twine at regular intervals. Finish the look by clipping the ends into your design of choice with a pair of sharp scissors. You could round the tape, add a point, or clip into it for a flaglike effect.

Easy, fun, and inexpensive — that's the type of party decorating I like best!
