I purchased Japanese masking tape at a boutique in Maine last summer and have been putting it all over my stationary ever since. I also made a flag banner with baker's twine, which now hangs from my mantel. So simply and pretty for spring!

All you need is baker's twine, scissors and your favorite Japanese washi tape. You you can find it easily online, the only difficult part is choosing from several colors and patterns.

Simply cut a piece of tape, fold it over and then cut an upside-down "V" at the bottom, and voila!
