What is BGM Pieni Stitch washi tape?
It is a 20 mm foil-stamped washi tape whose designs are drawn to look like embroidery. The Journal Shop says each pattern mimics the raised texture of real stitching and is finished with touches of foil; bungu.store says “pieni” is Finnish for “small”, which fits designs such as Small Forest, Small Sea and Small Cafe.
Paper Whisper calls the tape thin, soft washi paper with just the right amount of adhesion, re-stickable and suited to journals, planners, cards and gift wrap. BGM is a Japanese brand; its own site could not be read, so the facts below come from retailers.

Which Pieni Stitch designs are there?
Six at bungu.store, and Paper Whisper lists the same six. The shops use two translations of the names, “Small” and “Little”.
| Design (bungu.store / Yoseka) | Also listed as | Where listed |
|---|---|---|
| Small Forest | Little Forest | bungu.store, Yoseka, The Journal Shop, Paper Whisper |
| Small Wildflowers | Little Wildflowers | bungu.store, The Journal Shop, Paper Whisper |
| Small Sea | Little Sea | bungu.store, Yoseka, The Journal Shop, Paper Whisper |
| Small Cafe | Little Cafe | bungu.store, Yoseka, Paper Whisper |
| Small Room | Little Room | bungu.store, Yoseka, Paper Whisper |
| Small Party | Little Party | bungu.store, Yoseka, Paper Whisper |
The Journal Shop describes Little Forest as squirrels and toadstools beneath tall trees, Little Wildflowers as a dark green meadow of blossoms and leaves, and Little Sea as a rolling wave with gulls overhead. Paper Whisper also lists a 2026 Christmas Limited Pieni Stitch design, which we have not seen at the other shops.
How much tape do you get?
One roll is 5 m, which is about 9.9 A6 page borders. An A6 page (105 × 148 mm) has a 506 mm perimeter, and 5,000 mm divided by 506 is 9.9. That is our arithmetic from the listed size, and it ignores corners and waste. At US$5.00 a roll, Yoseka’s price works out to about US$1.00 per metre.
What is it good for?
Backgrounds, borders and collage cut-outs. bungu.store says the designs work as a background strip or cut apart for collage, and The Journal Shop suggests planner headers, gift wrap and the edges of a scrapbook spread. The Journal Shop adds that the washi tears cleanly by hand and lifts away again.
At 20 mm it is wider than BGM’s 5 mm Slim Washi Tape and the same width as the BGM Life clear tape, which is see-through film rather than paper.
Who is the Pieni Stitch tape for?
It suits people who want an embroidery look without needles, as a wide decorative strip on journal and card pages. The 20 mm width covers a margin or a heading in one pass.
Skip it if you need a thin divider (use 5 mm tape) or a tape you can write on: no shop states that it is made for writing.
How does it compare with other BGM washi tapes?
It is wider than the slim tapes and sits in the same price range as BGM’s other foil washi.
| Tape | Width | Yoseka price | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pieni Stitch (this guide) | 20 mm | US$5.00 | Foil, embroidery look |
| Tokimeki Flavor | 15 mm or 20 mm (sources differ) | US$5.00 | Foil, cafe treats |
| Kusahanafu | 20 mm | US$5.00 | Foil, botanical |
| Slim Washi Tape | 5 mm | US$2.50 | Mostly foil |
Where is BGM Pieni Stitch tape made?
China, according to the two retailers that say. Paper Whisper lists the Little Forest roll as made in China, and The Journal Shop lists the country of origin as China. Yoseka and bungu.store don’t state an origin, and BGM’s own site could not be read, so BGM being a Japanese brand tells you where it is from, not where this tape is made.
