Make your mail a masterpiece: celebrating World Letter Writing Day with mt Masking Tape

There’s something magical about opening the letterbox and finding a handwritten letter waiting for you. In our fast-paced, digital world, a real letter feels personal, heartfelt, and timeless. World Letter Writing Day is the perfect excuse to pick up a pen, pour your thoughts onto paper, and send a little joy through the post.

But why stop at just the words? With mt masking tape washi tape, you can transform your envelope into a colourful, creative piece of art before it even reaches your recipient’s hands.

 

Why Decorate Your Mail?

Washi tape is perfect for this because it’s:

  • Easy to use – just tear by hand or cut neatly with scissors.
  • Removable and repositionable – no sticky mess, and you can try out different layouts.
  • Available in endless patterns and colours – from soft pastels to bold geometrics, there’s a style for every personality.

 

Ideas for Colourful Envelope Decoration

Framed Fronts: Outline the edges of your envelope with a contrasting washi tape to create a frame. This draws the eye to the address while adding a polished finish.

Playful Patterns: Use different tape designs in stripes, chevrons, or checkerboard patterns. Try alternating bright colours for a cheerful, confetti-like effect.

Mini Collages: Layer tapes of different widths and patterns in the corner or along one side. This works especially well with floral and nature designs for a vintage feel.

Hidden Surprises: Decorate the inside flap of your envelope with a patterned washi tape. It’s a little detail that’s revealed only when the letter is opened.

mt Seal Accents: Use mt Seal for a quick but pop decoration. Just peel and stick for an instant touch of charm—whether it’s sealing the back flap or adding a playful accent on the front, it’s the easiest way to make your mail stand out.
