How to use double sided crafting tape
1.Scrapbooking
You can use double sided tape in scrapbooking to mount things onto your pages. The best thing about this craft tape is that it’s repositionable, so if you decide to change something around on your scrapbook page, the tape will let you put it back wherever you want it to go.
You can also use the tape to adhere photos onto the paper that you’re using for a scrapbook page. Just make sure that if there’s anything like writing on the back of your photo, that it doesn’t get caught up in the adhesive when you peel off the backing or else you’ll end up with some permanent ink on your project.
2.Card making
This tape is great for card making because it’s great at making pretty much anything stand out. Just make sure that you avoid using it on the edges of your project because the tape is not meant to use there.
It’s better to use this tape on the inner edges and corners of your cards or gift wrapping because these are always easy places to catch your card. The adhesive will hold up well if you don’t touch it too much or put something heavy or slippery on top of it.
