Handmade Ribbon Tapes

I’ve been wanting to make some ribbon tape ever since I saw a tutorial to make your own

fabric tape. But I never seem to have kraft tape on hand and cannot find a source for it

locally when I’m out and about and the inspiration to make that pretty fabric tape strikes.

Then I came across a tutorial to make pretty ribbon tape and that DIY used ribbon tape.

But all that got me to thinking about using double-sided tape. Now double-sided tape is

something we usually have around here. Except for yesterday, apparently. And yesterday was

when I was thinking about making those darned pretty fabric and ribbon tapes again. And then

sweet serendipity showed u to say hello – fashion ribbon tape!

"Problem solved" indeed! Why I had a roll of "fashion tape" is beyond me, because wardrobe

malfunctions aren't something I typically encounter. But apparently I bought a roll of the

stuff way back when and tucked it into a drawer. And yesterday - in the midst of this need

to make textile-tape of some sort - I came across it. And you know what? It's just double-

sided tape with a peel-away paper backing. Score!

You can use it just about any way you'd use ribbon tape or fabric tape to decorate anything

and everything. Granted - once this roll of "fashion tape" is all gone, I doubt I'll be

seeking it out specifically for this purpose. However, vellum tape looks like a great

alternative and seems readily available. And one of these days i'll find some kraft tape,

and then all bets are off.
