How can you tell if it is 'real' Washi tape?
Read the label? I don't know... Washi Tape has a waxy-based backing, not sticky. Please email Laurie, the swap host, for more information. I know there is a paper Washi-look-alike but it adheres even less than Washi tape... Honi
There's the original Washi tape and also a Scotch brand knock off, which actually sticks a better than Washi. Also there's a Duck tape Washi, which sticks better than the other two. Then there's also various Dollar Tree knock offs which stick similar to the original Washi. Hope this helps....Patti C
