Usually the last one out of the gate~

Am I~

I bet for this also..Although my daughters had not heard of it~

I have just discovered these tapes..





and had a grand time wrapping a Kraft paper Valentine parcel with a chalkboard tag and this new tape~



I bought the first 3 rolls separately..
Then found this coup de coeur little tin w/ 5 rolls..I just could not resist.My daughter said:"Go for it~" And I did.



I enjoy wrapping gifts.. even more so with this tape..The possibilities are endless as I saw on the net..how to make your own... if you Google~
I had some very old Scotch double sided tape..and some drawer/pantry liner paper I bought in France..It works perfectly..I just cut a length of the double sided tape..and put it on the liner and cut..the tape can be wound around almost anything..many are using vintage spools..
I cannot quote one source..as I got my inspiration here and there..



Easy!


Have fun~
~

Any paper would work..I am sure I will be scrutinizing wrapping paper ..in a whole new light:)

    Those tapes are too cool, Monique. I always mean to pick things like that up and then never do... I love brown paper wrappings with bits of string and ribbons and old labels... not at all crazy for matchy-matchy wrapping paper and ribbon!!

    The tapes are so fun. I never thought of doing that with wrapping paper. Your cache pot project is exquisite! I am dying to have one of those and the tulips look fabulous in it! I will have to try. I haven't tried any of the methods yet and I always love every project you do with the transfers.

    No, you're not the last Monique. I'm the one pulling up the rear on this one. This is new to me, but how fun. Love the pretty fleur de lis.

    What fun, Monique. You are inspiring me to dust off my craft table and pull some supplies out of the cupboard. Even the smallest gift is very special when it is wrapped so beautifully.

    I just came across these sort of tapes within the past week and bookmarked the source. I have lots of lovely papers that I will try making my own. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Best,

    What a clever idea! I can imagine myself going crazy and taping all corners of the package. I also like the chalkboard tag.

    Carol..that is uncanny..they must be available many places?

    Anthropologie..wish we had one here..love their kitchen things etc..And someone recommended French general..such a pretty website..


    I am anxious to start using a lot.
    And anxious to find cute papers..although how much tape does one need.
    It all goes back to loving my new Prismacolor box and school pencils I am sure.
    Colorfoms..too.

    I am thinking Michael's in Ontario and the USA would have some..

    I have some of those tapes Monique that I found last year, but not in the lovely designs you have shown here. Mine is more bright polka dots and checks. Cute but not very elegant. I think they are sooooo much fun! xxoo

    I am still trying to catch up with all my favorite people! I've been going from oldest posts to most recent and still have a long way to go. Now that Mack is taking his nap, I'm finding some time :)

    I've seen these beautiful tapes before but had forgotten about them. I love that you used your beautiful French paper to make your own. I will have to Google too :)
