another washi tape use: labelling of tabs

I've always found Filofax paper a bit dull in terms of colour and so I sought out ways to jazz it up. And this what I came up with: to use washi tape. 

Here is an example of a tab I've added colour too. Note that I only added a splash; I didn't cover it excessively as I didn't want to go too overboard.


And then page titles. Washi tape on washi tape!


Another example:


And yet another one; I added mini chevrons to fill in the resulting gap at the end:


And one more example. This time, I only used a little to write in the month and year; and then I wrote the title of the page a bit more decoratively instead.


What other uses have you come up with for washi tape?

  1. Hi
    I just came across your blog today - I love it! It is right up my street :)
    I now aim to have a diary decorated like yours! Are you doing medicine now? I am also a medic.

    I thought I'd share this site with you if you haven't already seen it. There are some lovely ideas:

    I'm not doing medicine though I have an offer to do this autumn. I haven't decided 100% on it yet though! x

    1. I use a Staedtler permanent Lumocolour (Superfine nib) pens in black. They also come in other colours like blue, green, red, etc. :) I find normal ball point pens aren't as effective unfortunately! x

  4. Love your blog posts :) Just wondering what tape you used on top of the washi tape. What is the name of it?

  5. Any chance you could post a picture of the pens you use on Twitter? There seem to be a lot of different Steadler Lumocolour pens out there? Does anything else work well on Washi tape, Sharpie for example?

    1. Will post one now :) Unfortunately, I don't know your username so can't tweet it at you! But hope you'll see it and it is useful :) I'm not sure about Sharpies - I've never tried as I found the nib not quite fine enough for my liking! x
