Planning Week 4

Using washi tape in planner spreads, especially in Hobonichi journals, is a fantastic way to personalize and brighten your daily organization. After my recent Hobby Lobby washi tape haul, I found that a single roll can drastically change the look and feel of a weekly spread. I love how the washi tape adds color and texture without overwhelming the layout, making it easy to highlight important tasks or events. In addition to simple borders, try layering different patterns of washi tape for a more dynamic effect. Mixing florals with stripes or polka dots can create a playful yet cohesive theme for your journal pages. I also like to use washi tape to create functional sections within my spread, such as to-do lists, priority notes, or even mood trackers. One tip I’ve found useful is to plan your tape placement lightly with a pencil before sticking it down, as repositioning can sometimes tear delicate tapes. For extra flair, combining washi tape with coordinating stickers or stamps can elevate the entire look of your Hobonichi 2026 journal pages. If you’re new to washi tape, start with small accents and gradually build up as you become more comfortable. Hobby Lobby offers an extensive range of tapes with varying widths and designs, making it easy to find options that match your personal aesthetic and planner style. Overall, incorporating washi tape is a simple, affordable way to customize your planner and make weekly planning enjoyable and inspiring.
