Washi tape from mt — the original Japanese masking tape brand made from washi paper as well as a carefully chosen selection from independent artists.
The mt rolls cover character collaborations with Peanuts and Woodstock, illustrated designs from artists including Polly Fern and Léa Maupetit, and a few classics that are simply very good tape. The independent artist rolls lean British and natural — birds of prey, coastal birds, beetles, moths, mushrooms, bees and butterflies, all illustrated with the kind of detail that makes you want to look closely.
Good for journaling, planners, junk journals, gift wrapping, or just having on your desk because they're nice to look at. Pairs well with our sticker sheets and notebooks. Browse the full Shellflower range for matching stickers and washi.

FAQ
What is washi tape used for?
Washi tape is most commonly used for decorating journals, planners and scrapbooks, wrapping gifts, and embellishing notebooks. Because it's low-tack and repositionable, it can be layered, torn and moved without damaging paper. It's also popular for labelling, organising and general desk decoration.
Is washi tape the same as masking tape?
No, though they're made using a similar process. Washi tape is made from traditional Japanese paper (washi) and is thinner, more flexible and more decorative than standard masking tape. It's designed to be used on paper and surfaces where you don't want damage — it peels off cleanly and can often be repositioned. Masking tape is made for painting and DIY, with a stronger adhesive not suited to paper use.
What size washi tape is best for journaling?
For most journal and planner use, 10–15mm is the most versatile width. It fits neatly along page edges, around headers and in spreads without overwhelming the page. Wider rolls (20mm+) suit backgrounds, borders and scrapbook pages where you want more coverage.
Do you stock MT washi tape in the UK?
Yes — we stock a selection of MT masking tape rolls including the MT x Peanuts collaboration range and illustrated artist editions. MT is stocked as part of our washi tape collection and also has its own dedicated MT washi tape page.
