Customer Reviews for Scotch 0.59 in. x 10.9 yds. Cracked Expressions Washi Tape (Case of 36)

I am a washi tape expert. I use it daily and was so happy to get a gorgeous roll by Scotch Expressions. It is awful and completely shreds on the role. Are they melting in a hot warehouse? Waste of my time and mney.

I bought this tape to make Christmas pens for the residents at the senior living community where I work. The tape did not stick at all. Not even a little bit. I am so disappointed. I tried to stick the tape to different types of surfaces to see if maybe the problem was in the surface I was trying to adhere it to. The tape would not stick to any surface. So very sad that you spend the extra money on a brand you trust and it turns out to be very disappointing, a waste of time and money.

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.

used expressions wash tape and masking tape to decorate gift wrapped packages-- easy to use and makes things more fun!

[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.

[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.

Such a pity that Scotch brand Washi Tape is made from synthetic and is acrylic. Washi is by its name known for being made from natural fibres. I would prefer to use proper Washi tape. This one is Washi in name only, making use of the name and the tape's reputation of being biodegradable.. I would not recommend this.

I have a large collection of this tape - stored neatly in a lidded plastic tub in my craft room. Imagine my disappointment when I took some out today (almost a full roll) and when I peeled some off, the sticky was almost entirely gone. :-( All of my rolls in this brand are the same. I spent a lot of money on these and they are totally useless. Shame on you Scotch brand for putting out such a low quality product!

Such a deceptive country/world we live in. Wish l would have did my homework and read these reviews. Just "assumed" l was buying a thicker electrical type tape. Oh, well, shame on me.

After using the travel washi tape for a couple of years, I decided to buy the glitter. It does not stay down like the other tape did; it is too thick.

I purchased the Awesome Ruler Tape I'm learning to sew and quilt. I put it on my table edge and across my sewing machine for a quick reference. I'm happy with the tape!! Enjoy your day!

I got the gold Washi tape for a project for my grandson and it would not stick. I had to use glue to try to get it to stick to the foam core board! Very disappointed. Didn't have time or money to go get something else.

I bought the glittery tape for a project. Itvwas useless. Does not stick to any surface except plain paper with no sheen.

I like many other reviewers find that I cannot get the tape to unroll. It breaks off into tiny pieces when trying to use it. Sooo disappointed since Scotch is a trusted brand with other products I have purchased. I do not have this problem with other brands of washi tape I own. I also own the glitter tape and while it unrolls easier it does not stick even after trying multiple ways like others have tried. Scotch needs to reevaluate these tapes.

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.

If you can’t get it to unroll zap in the microwave for about 10 sec (use your discretion). I wish I would have found this tip before I threw away two rolls. Now that I know this I’m super happy with the product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a roll of the tape a year ago and it's amazing. Flash forward to this year and 4 rolls of tape later and they just shred to bits when I try to unroll them. So frustrating!!!!

I love the cute color of the tape, but it doesn't stick! I tried to use it around photos on a wall, and 30 minutes later, most of them had fallen off. Such a pain to see all my work fall off and see my money wasted. Would not recommend.

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.

I was so excited to buy this tape. I bought a glittery washi tape. It did not stick to anything. I like to put the tape on items to show where to return in my classroom. I will not but buying this tape again.

I bought 4 rolls of the 4 inch polkadot tape last week hoping to use it to accent my file cabinets. I was so excited, until I tried to use it, the tape shredded so much as I tried to unroll it, that my frustration outweighed my excitement. They ended up in the trash.

I bought the glittery kind and it doesn't stick to anything! I'm using them to decorate stems of fake flowers and I have to go over it twice with a clear tape over it for it not to come off. Not good at all.

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 bought this for a journal and it is fantastic! Lovely colours and patterns. Easy to use as well. But rather pricey. It is still worth it.

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.

I bought a roll of purple washi tape today to use for labeling books with my name, but I think I got a dud roll. Very disappointed. Unrolled about two feet of shreds before giving up. I'm not sure if the adhesive was too strong or the tape was too fragile or what. Definitely not what I'm used to quality-wise from Scotch/3M. Too bad..I was looking forward to finally doing that project!

absolutely love this tape! I use it for everything I would use regular tape on and more. My favorite to decorate is; pencils and pens

I'm an avid washi tape user (I journal with it). I bought one little roll today and I was so upset when I opened it and it was so hard to peel. I kept getting tiny shreds and could NOT get a a full clean peel for use on anything. What I did peel up left behind sticky residue. I really expected more from this brand; I'm going to stick with my "go-to" after this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't unroll this stuff. All it does is tareally in to little pieces can't even get it started, had 3 different people try. Will need buy again.

I received a free sample of this washi tape, must confess didn't know what to do with it. Until a post in pinterest bright my light and since that day I couldn't stop using my washi. I like it is really easy to stick and take off. So none of your projects are like forever. I also found it really convenient because when you are in a hurry and need to decorate a card or a gift it comes on hand perfectly.
