Hobonichi x Plus: Deco Rush - Candy Dream

The Deco Rush "Candy Dream" is a decorative tape dispenser from the collaboration between Plus and Hobonichi that glides across paper like a correction roller. As you pull, colorful candies line up in sequence – a continuous pattern in bright, playful colors. The tape lies flat on the page without volume or show-through – even on the tissue-thin Tomoe River paper of the Hobonichi Techo.

Special Features

• Rolling application principle: The dispenser works like a correction roller – simply pull it across the paper with light pressure, and the tape adheres immediately and cleanly. No gluing, no aligning, no drying.
• No show-through, no unevenness: Because it's a transfer tape and not ink, there are no waves or shadows on the back – ideal for double-sided pages and thin paper.
• No added bulk: The tape builds up hardly at all, so the Techo stays slim and closes easily – even when many pages have been decorated.
• Compact format: The dispenser fits in a pencil case and is just as portable as the Techo itself.
• Hobonichi original design: The "Candy Dream" pattern was developed exclusively for the Hobonichi Techo – candies in a playful, colorful sequence.
• Single-use product: The tape is not refillable. A special eraser for accidentally applied tape is available separately in the Hobonichi product range.

Application & Tips

• Application on smooth surfaces: The tape adheres best to smooth surfaces. Hold the dispenser almost perpendicular and press the roller head firmly against the paper – this creates an even pattern without gaps.
• Clean finish: At the end of the desired line, stop the dispenser briefly and then lift it upward – this creates a sharp, straight edge.
• Writing pad recommended: When working on very thin paper, it's best to place a Pencil Board underneath – this gives the page stability and improves the tape's adhesion.
• As line decoration: The tape is perfect for underlining daily entries, framing sections, or visually organizing weekly columns – without a pen, without a ruler, without drying time.
• Combination with pen: You cannot write on the applied tape – place text before or after it and use the tape as an accent.
• Also usable outside the Techo: Works equally well on notebooks, journal pages, and other smooth paper.

For Techo Enthusiasts

The Tomoe River paper in the Hobonichi Techo presents many decorative materials with challenges: glued elements add bulk, tape wringes thin pages, stamps with wet ink can show through. The Deco Rush avoids all this through its dry transfer process – the tape is mechanically pressed onto the paper without any moisture. The result lies flat on the page without straining the binding. Those who treat the Techo as both an art object and a daily tool will find in the Deco Rush a decorative tool that makes no compromise between aesthetics and functionality.
