Sardines Washi Tape – Shelley Couvillion

A whole school of tiny troublemakers, ready to stick around.

Sardines Washi Tape features a wonderfully playful lineup of illustrated fish by artist Shelley Couvillion, with colorful sardines swimming their way across journals, planners, packages, collages, and whatever else could use a little more fish.

Made from semi-transparent Japanese washi paper, the 25mm-wide tape tears easily by hand and is perfect for layering, decorating, gift wrapping, scrapbooking, and everyday paper craft.

Why We Love It

Because apparently what the craft drawer was missing was sardines. We love the tiny illustrated fish, the generous 25mm width, and the fact that something this simple can add an absurd amount of personality to a journal page or wrapped gift.

Why We Love the Maker

Blackbird Letterpress makes paper feel special.

Founded in Louisiana around an 1,100-pound Chandler & Price press, Blackbird Letterpress has grown from a tiny back-room printshop into a working studio filled with vintage presses, rescued type, beautiful paper, and a couple of famously frisky shop dogs. Their work celebrates the tactile character of printmaking and the pleasure of making something thoughtfully by hand.
