Have you ever wondered what to write about, or how to make your techo more lively?

The Deco Rush is a great answer.
All you do is pull it across the paper, and it will leave behind a strip of colorful decorations to bring some life to your techo.

We’re excited to announce the arrival of the Hobonichi Techo Original Deco Rush!
There’s one theme that contains topics for you to write about, and others for food, animals, designs that match Hobonichi Techos, and more.
You can stick to one, or use a combination of several together—there are a total of 7 designs to choose from.
Here’s a look at some ways to use this original Deco Rush.

If you keep track of your meals, there are two designs that could be right up your alley. Each contains a long string of delicious-looking meals, so you can use it to decorate pages where you talk about what you’ve eaten. Or, if you’re unsure of what to eat, pull a strip across the paper and see which comes out next in an exciting game of deciding what to eat!

(Here’s what I used!)What shall I snack on? & What a feast!

Stick it in your daily page in your Original or Cousin, or in the weekly page for your Weeks! You can follow the theme that shows up on the next strip of tape, and write about something that happened that day or a memory. The look of the page will be so nice that it will be a joy to read back on later. Every design has different colors, so they’re an easy way to add an accent to a page. *Japanese

If you’ve had an active day with friends or family and have lots of memories to write down, make it a page that brings you happiness just looking at it. And if you want to send someone a thank you note or include a note with a gift, one easy pull of the design across a sticky note and you can transform it into original stationery.

(Here’s what I used!)Skateboard Penguin & Camp Every Day

If you’ve got empty space on your page, let this panda roll across it. That will instantly transform this unassuming space into an adorable design. If you pair this with the Petit Moji Liner to make your writing stand out, that will really spruce up the page.

If you’ve got plans for tea or a snack at a cafe, decorate it with Deco Rush. We recommend pairing this design with the matching Bow & Tie: Café Weeks book when keeping a diary about your experiences or memories when cafe-hopping. Using these alongside the Hobonichi Frame Stickers can really make the page something special.
