Lessons for life: Ideas how to use deco tape

‘Lessons for life’ might be a bit exaggerated, but we are sure that you won’t forget these pictures anytime soon, they just stick in your head. At least when you are interested in or curious about deco tapes. A couple of days ago we got the latest Prime Nakamura catalogue. It contained pictures of beautiful deco tapes, but also quite a few nice inspirations for what to do with the gorgeous adhesive tapes. We thought it might be nice to share those pics with you.

Wrapping with deco tape is a classic

Wrapping with deco tape is a classic

Let’s start classical. Deco tape is just perfect to beautify every piece of paper work. Use it to close paper bags, letters or to wrap presents. As you can see on the picture you can even create ribbons with it. And it always looks just amazing.

You can quickly create great effects

There a so many different deco tape designs that you can give your wrapping and packing a very individual look without a lot of work. For the decoration done on this photo you don’t even need scissors, as it is made with paper tape that can easily be torn by hand. The paper tapes you can buy in our shop are also sold in sets of four in different widths, which enables you to create even nicer visual effects.

Deco tape was basically designed for scrapbooking. Especially paper tape and Washi masking tape are great for this, because you can tear them by hand and write on them. But as you see on the photo, deco tape makes a pretty good decoration element in scrapbooks just by itself. You don’t scrapbook? No problem. Why not add a very special note to your next photo album by using colourful deco tape?

Use it to replace your old adhesive tape in your tape dispenser

It’s so simple, but maybe you wouldn’t think of it right away. Of course you can also use deco tape as a regular adhesive tape in your everyday stationery life. Substitute the see-through tape in your tape dispenser with a pretty deco tape. You will be surprised how much nicer everything looks.

For cups, vases and more, you can put deco tape on almost everything

Take a boring white paper cup and turn it into something unique. This is not just a great idea for parties or dinners, but can be applied for anything. Give your vases a new coat of pain, pep up some old glasses or single coloured containers. The possibilities to be creative are sheer endless.

One stipe of tape can be enough for a big effect

A really nice idea for presents. One piece of colourful tape can already make a difference. And as there are lots of deco tapes with writings like “Thank you”, “Happy Birthday”, “I love you” and so on, you might not even have to write a card. Keep the message simple and clear.

That is something we really have not seen before. But what a great idea. No matter if you give away flowers or just keep them at home, holding them together via cute deco tape is definitely an eyecatcher. To do it in proper style, use some flower tape.

As you can use deco tape to beautify almost anything, match up your deco tape design with the theme of your project. Sending something to friends in London? Use a cute London Deco Tape. Finally making that photo album with the pictures of your trip to France? Place a little Eiffel Tower Deco Tape here and there. You want to beautify your old shoe shelf? Shoe deco tapes will help you do so.

Earlier we suggested to use deco tape to pep up your gift wrapping. Of course you can also go one step further: deco tape BECOMES your wrapping. To stick deco tape on little boxes is a really good idea. Big deco tapes that are also very suitable for packing are really perfect for those kinds of projects.

6 Days until Valentine’s Day

Combine cute with useful. Valentine’s Day is not just about cheesy romantic stuff that you will never use again. It’s also about cheesy romantic stuff that is quite valuable. Like that Rilakkuma plush wallet which is today’s gift idea in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day. Because everybody needs a wallet. Even if you don’t use it for money, it’s always handy to have a little bag to store things. And this one is incredibly fluffy, incredibly hearty and incredibly cute. That’s why we think it will make a really good Valentine’s Day present.

7 Days until Valentine’s Day

A trip to Paris is like the royal league among Valentine’s Day gifts. However, for all of you who can’t afford a journey to the ‘city of love’ or just don’t want to travel that far, you can still get a present in the spirit of France. Because it’s all about creating the right mood. This is why today’s gift idea on our Countdown for Valentine’s Day is a virtual Paris holiday. Design your own little Paris at home, decorate with French colours, prepare some typical snacks and so on. We have a lot of products with France designs such as Eiffel Tower, French colours etc. which support your creativity and help you to create a very exclusive trip to Paris which your sweetheart has never experienced before.

8 Days until Valentine’s Day

This is a classic. To give away cute plush toys to the ones you love is an evergreen in Valentine’s Day gifts. Nothing wrong with that, still we are going to modernise this ‘tradition’ a little bit. The plushies we recommend as presents in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day are still soft and cute but rather small. This makes sense, because as cellphone accessories they’re supposed to hang on your mobile. And as individualizing your mobile phone is a part of everyday life nowadays, is there a more modern way to say ‘I love you’? Don’t worry, they will look great on your bag packs, pencil cases etc. too.

Time for relaxation. No matter if it’s totally unpleasant outside, this Valentine’s Day you could be bathing in lots of love…and hot water of course. Today’s gift idea in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day is bath salt. Might sound unspectacular at first, but it turns into a lovely gift if you present it the right way. Prepare a nice bath for your loved one and pamper him or her with the nice smell of the Rilakkuma bath salt bomb that even reveals a small figure. Or enjoy the romantic atmosphere together. Create your little spa at home.

Our favourite product of the week: animal fabrics

If you asked us to pick a favourite, we really couldn’t. Each one of these Robert Kaufman animal fabrics from the USA is so kawaii, we love all of them. It was a lot of fun adding them to our shop this week. We are not completely finished yet and of course there are other designs too. But the birds, elephants, dogs, turtles, monkey, cats and ladybirds got us hooked, so we make them our favourite product of the week. Aren’t they incredibly colourful and have lovely patterns?
