DIY: Cover a Book With Tape

Tape Book Cover

Loved this little project because I created a cute colour themed area by simply gathering items around the house and giving it a fresh look.

Materials

Decorative Tape (I used 3M Scotch Expressions Packing Tape & 3M Scotch Expressions Magic Tape)

Notepad (horizontal stripes)

Instructions

1. Lay sections of tape to cover the notepad, allowing about 1-3 cm overhang to secure on the inside cover.
2. Don’t worry too much about making the left hand side exactly even (I’ll tell you why below).
3. For edge corner sections, cut a small triangle (as shown) before securing on the inside cover.
4. To make sure the edges don’t eventually peel up, use a section of tape along the left edge vertically, overlapping slightly and secure on the inside cover (I used purple tape here).
5.  Create a cute themed area by using matching tape on plastic tumblers or juice bottles for pen and pencil holders.

Tip: Vertical stripes work gorgeously too.
