Proof that even the most mundane office supplies can have major style? This colorful project from CL contributing editor Cathe Holden, which pairs patterned paper with double-sided mounting adhesive.
To make rolls of pretty tape, round up your favorite patterned wrapping paper, and purchase double-side mounting adhesive ($44.85 for 11"W x 50'L roll; amazon.com). You'll also need a new or vintage spool, available for mere pennies on etsy.com.
Measure the height of the spool's core between the wheels; then using an X-Acto knife and working on a cutting mat, cut a strip of wrapping paper to that width and a length of three feet.
Next, unroll the mounting adhesive to expose one of its sticky sides. Carefully lay the paper strip on top of the adhesive and press down, sealing it in place. Using an X-Acto knife, cut the tape out.
To attach the tape to a spool, trim away a small piece of the backing at one end of the tape, then press the exposed area against the spool.
