Make your own DIY Washi tape dispenser. Reuse a foil container to store your Washi tapes, so clever!

Lately, I’ve been trying reaaally hard to be more organized in terms of my craft supplies. I am not nearly there yet but are making some progress.


I’ll share some creative ways in the next few weeks on how I organize these supplies. To start with: Tapes!
The small washi tapes(I don’t have much yet, because here in South Africa it is quite expensive because it gets imported), but my collection will keep on growing, I’m sure because nowadays you get the prettiest Washi tape!


I’ve used an empty foil dispenser, painted it, and placed the washi tape rolls around the original cardboard tube. The sharp edge is so convenient!


So from this:

To this:

Easy enough! If you have lots of washi tape rolls and have to make a few of these dispensers, you could cover up the cardboard with different strips of washi tapes, so you can see which roll is in which dispenser at quick glance.

I have my big tapes(cello tapes, painter’s tape, Scotch Duct Tape, etc.) on a standing kitchen towel dispenser. You could also use the ones you put on the wall to keep them organized against a wall.

    I’m going to head out to Michael’s or A.C. Moore today to buy myself some Washi tape and experiment with using it. I’m searching for lots of ideas how it can be used and I’m finding a lot of clever uses. Even have a 40% off Michael’s coupon from Sunday’s newspaper inserts.

      Thank you, but I’m in South Africa, and I know it is quite expensive to ship stuff;)

    I purchased a bathroom tissue holder to store some of my washi tape. It holds about 30-35 rolls depending on the width.

    You mentioned that you painted your empty foil box..which is my favorite color..spray paint? foam applicator/brush? Could covering the empty box with duct tape make it stronger?

      Yes, I just painted it two coats of paint with a foam brush. Great idea about the duct tape!

          It was a beautiful cursive font when I wrote my comment out, but it turned out to be regular print. What a disappointement. How did it do that?

    Thank you so much for sharing this!! What a fabulous idea!! So clever! I bought a mug stand -basically a vertical paper towel holder but with ‘branches’ to hang the mugs on. It is pretty, when I leave the tape on my desk, that is. I end up hauling my supplies to the living room so I can hang out with the rest of the family. Your way would be pretty AND functional! I am so excited about this. I got here from Pinterest. I also repinned so my friends know about it,too. 🙂
