I love tape. Scotch, masking, duct, shipping, double-sided: it doesn’t matter. I love it all. You can do so much with tape. Here’s a few projects I’ve done in recent memory:
- Waterproofed my Bike the Barns route map (clear shipping)
- Laminated my new journal cover collage (clear shipping, scotch)
- Kept a dress neckline from getting X-rated (fashion double-sided)
- Fixed a rattling bathroom fan (duct)
- De-linted black pants (any and all)
- Collaged homemade greeting cards (scotch)
- Resurrected abused mailing boxes from near death by reinforcing them and covering up water stains (priority mail tape from post office)
- Labeled the jars of garden-fresh tomatoes I’m freezing for the winter (scotch)
- Wrote myself countless reminders and lists (post-its)
- Made my road bike handle pads stay in place (electrical)
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say today I am grateful for tape. Anyone out there got creative uses for it?
