Japanese masking tape in unexpected, pretty pastels hit the market last winter and sold out almost immediately. Bloggers everywhere were crushed, and had to use glue sticks to pull themselves back together again. By spring, however, the Japanese decorative tape was back, and it brought with it an almost endless supply of copycat alternatives. Now you can pick some up at Design Within Reach, shortly at the MoMA Store and even at L.L. Bean. If it's available at the 'Bean, it has officially hit the mainstream.

Start your search at Happy Tape for a bunch of colors at $5 a roll, TapeSwell for baroque and faux bois patterns and Ginko Papers for pretty little sets. Check out some more of our favorite patterns, and sources, below.
