Scotch Expressions Masking Tape, Black, .94" x 20 yd., 1 Roll

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This decorative tape has a slightly glossy finish and is really easy to use in projects. The tape is thick enough to be sturdy but still slightly sheer, so if you use it on high contrast things, the underlying patterns will show. I think it's best on a solid color background but you may like the shadow effect. Until it's burnished down, it can be moved to get the placement just right. Once it's burnished down, it sticks very well. What I like best about it is that it's easy to write on. The finish won't cause inks or paints to bead up. A permanent marker used on this tape doesn't smudge. I like it for crafts, but a few strips put on waxed paper or parchment with a marker make an excellent way to mark drink glasses as well. It comes off the glass easily. My own favorites are the comic book effect one and the faux bois green.

The first roll of Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape I bought was a disappointment. The first several layers were stuck together, and I couldn't get it to peel cleanly for the life of me. After posting my initial review, Scotch kindly sent me a replacement. My mind is completely changed about this product! It must have been a fluke or how the tape was handled by the retailer that caused the problems with my first roll. Thank you, Scotch! I'll be buying again!

I discovered Washi tape is great for the various paper craft projects I make to sell at holiday boutiques. However, I am extremely disappointed that there are no Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall or Christmas themed tapes to purchase. I would like to see Washi tapes for all seasons and holidays - Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter will be coming up soon and I hope there will be some tapes I can use by then.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Scotch Brand Expressions Washi Tape as a free sample. I love the colors on this tape. The repositioning feature works wonderfully. However, I took 3 separate sections of the tape to check out the writing on it feature and was slightly disappointed. Using a marker worked fantastic with bold clear writing. Pencil was not so good, could tell there was writing there but very faint. The ink pens were a sad disappointment. Regular ink just would not flow onto the tape. A gel pen did slightly better. Overall, I am impressed with the tape and will use it for decorating packages and crafting projects. Will just have to remember to use a marker to write on it.

I bought this tape to use on the white board in my classroom. It did't stick for more that 10 minutes until it started to bubble and droop off completely. So then I took the remaining tape and tried to stick it to my metal filing cabinet and to a wood shelf, and still it stayed for minutes before peeling off. I threw it in the trash where it belongs!

I used this tape for a chore chart in a white board...worked great, but the. I tried to use it other places (cell phone case, headset at work) and it won't stick!!! Definitely doesn't stick to itself either...fell in love now I'm suffering a sad break up... 3M...please save yourself and me the time...don't reply with your generic response to call your customer service center...take the time to manufacture a better product!

I really love the color geometric pattern of this wide version of washi tape and couldn't wait to use it for art journaling; however, it refuses to unroll smoothly. It tears off in tiny shreds, or, if by some miracle I get a larger piece pulled off the roll, it tears down the middle. I do not have this problem with the thinner width, only the wider width.

This is not at all functional! I bought some thin, glittery silver tape today for my daughter's Valentine box. I thought it'd be perfect to help keep the wrapping on and decorate at the same time. It does not stick at all, and keeps coming undone. My daughter is so disappointed, and I'm upset I wasted the money on this dysfunctional product.

The glitter tape does not stick well at all--I even put it under weights for a time to see if pressure would help. Continues to pop up, ruining the project. Maybe it's just a ploy to sell an add on product since I've had to use clear tape to hold down the glitter "tape"--the finished project is not as finished as it could be.

Bought three small glitter rolls this am. Went to use them to identify black flashlights to make them easier to find at night. Tape would not stick to the plastic or metal flashlights. Could not use it. Thought maybe I was doing something wrong, maybe it has to be wet? Anyway, a waste of money, and time.
