Washi tape can be used for line borders of different sizes and colors for around classroom windows, bulletin board display areas, library shelves and white boards. You can put washi tape on anything, even for smaller projects like customizing classroom stationery – binders, folders, pen holders, etc. Washi tape is better than adhesive decorative paper rolls because it is made from Japanese rice paper (which gives it that extra thickness and durability) and it peels off easily without leaving any residue behind.
I am ordering some washi tape rolls to start a new chevron theme in my classroom. I love zigzag chevron pattern because it looks so crisp! I also like tiny polka dots but I think that for me, it would be best to stick to one pattern. I love to find awesome classroom decor ideas.

Where did you order your washi tape from?
I am thinking of using it to section off my whiteboard. It shouldn't leave a residue and be easy to change when needed.
