Decorating With Packing Tape

Decorating With Packing Tape

Are you looking for a versatile crafting product you can use to decorate just about anything? If so, give Decorative Packing Tape a try!

Decorative Packing Tape is like Washi Tape on steroids!

• It’s  inexpensive – a little goes a long way!
• It doesn’t require any special skills or fancy tools to use!
• It enables you to cover larger surfaces than Washi Tape.
• It allows you to decorate many normal-sized items per roll!
• It’s fun to play with!

The only tool you really need for working with Decorative Packing Tape is a sharp pair of scissors and you’re good to go!

Today I wanted to share the pretty Altered Box I made using one of the free Decorative Packing Tapes I received from WholePort. To see how versatile these Decorative Packing Tapes are, take a peek at the Earth Day Card I created using a different Decorative Packing Tape!

The following Tutorial shows how easy it is to work with these Decorative Packing Tapes. I hope it inspires you to create something beautiful using your own products!

Altered Box Tutorial

1. Gather your project supplies. For this project, I used the Decorative Packing Tape I received from Wholeport as well as an unaltered box, flowers, distressing inks and embellishments from my personal crafting stash.

2a. Cover the box with Packing Tape.

2b. Cover the box in layers, overlapping pattern wherever possible to create a smooth line.

2c. Trim any excess tape as you go.

3. Distress the edges with color-coordinated ink.

4. Add your embellishments. I included some pretty color-coordinated flowers and a fabric-covered brad!

You can decorate the inside of the box if you like, or leave it bare, depending on how you intend to use it.
