All you do is tear a strip of the Scotch tape, and tape it over a section of your book page.
Smooth it down evenly. Gently pull it off.
You can of course do this with pictures, patterns and anything else you can find!
Here I made a random patterned piece of tape from the printed dress from an old magazine page.
I also really like to use scraps from my scrapbooking papers! I tend to mostly use 6x6 scrapbooking pages, as the
smaller print works better for the smaller sized cards and layouts I do for Project Life. The smaller pattern also makes
it ideal for some homemade tape!
You can see how you can get two different
effects from pressing down only a little bit, or
really pushing it down with a bone folder.

Carefully pull the wax paper together with the tape off the page. You might have to fold back the wax paper at one
end a little bit and loosen the tape edge off the paper.
Voila - a self-adhesive strip of printed tape. With some fuzzy book texture to boot! To use your tape, just cut off the
required amount, peel back the wax paper and stick it down!
Napkins
This is very similar to the method above, only
this time we are using cheap napkins to provide
the pattern.

This method isn’t really strictly speaking “tape” but it can serve that same purpose and it gives you endless
possibilities in terms of colors and patterns.
I saw this article called "Last Minute Japanese Tape” on the Good Look Cookbook site the other day and thought I’d
mention it here too, since it really fits the topic here today! Check it out if you get a chance!
The advantage of this method is that you can also use your digital stash! However, the drawback is that it’s not tape
and it has no translucency to it. But sometimes that’s a good thing, so it’s something to keep in the back of your mind
when you are looking for that decorative touch on your cards, layouts or other crafts!
