I love crafting and I love organizing so when Scotch Expressions Tape asked me to review their new line of tape, just in time for the back to school season, I was super excited!
Look at all that beautiful tape!! Scotch Expressions Tape is available in over 100 colors and patterns and four varieties- Magic Tape, masking tape, washi tape and shipping tape. Obviously the washi tape was my fave!
I had several ideas floating around in my brain on how to use this tape, but I decided on these three ideas inspired by dear Pinterest π
First up, supply organization!
I have supply caddies on each table for my students to use, but I like to keep extras handy, just in case! I also plan on using the labels on the first of school to sort supplies that the kiddos bring in!
I started by covering my clothespins with the masking tape which was way easier than I imagined! It literally took 5 seconds! Just lay the pin on the tape, snip to size and press down! And I loved all the colors it came in! Matches my room perfectly!
Then I used double sided tape to attach the supply labels to the pins.
Aren’t those labels just adorable!? They are from sweet Laura Martin and available in her TpT shop!
Finally, I clipped the pins onto cute little bins and now they are organized!
My second project was inspired by this little pin {when I first saw it all I could think was, duh!}
Copy Clothespins!
I mean, why have I never done this before!?
This time I used the washi tapes and they were just as easy to use!
Then I made some labels on my computer and laminated them using my Scotch Personal Thermal Laminator {l.o.v.e. that thing!}. I attached them to the pins using double sided tape, but it didn’t seem to hold it that great since I will be handling the pins a lot. What should I use instead??
Now, when I need copies of things, I just clip the pin onto the masters and the directions are right there! Need a class set back-to-back?! No biggie!
Need a specific amount of copies and want the copies darker!? Use a dry erase marker to specify!
I’m thinking I might add my name to the pins so that the volunteers or assistants making the copies know who they belong to!
Want a copy of the labels?
Finally, my last project, and maybe my favorite, was inspired by washi tape pennant banners! I think I might use the board to host our word of the week, or maybe star student. Not sure yet! Right now it’s holding vocab cards!
I had the cork board and twine already, so it was super easy to throw together! I layered the tape around the edges because that’s always fun and then I watched this tutorial on how to make a washi tape pennant banner. The tip to tape your twine onto the table while working was priceless.
Then I used hot glue to attach tacks onto the back of the pins and stuck them into the cork board.
Isn’t this tape awesome!? It’s really affordable too! The Scotch Expressions Tape line ranges in price from $2.50 for a single pack to $5.99 for a triple pack! Scotch Expressions Tapes are available at office superstores and mass retailers nationwide, as well as online. Head to ScotchBrand.com to find a store near you! It’s easy! Just type in your zip code.
Office Depot is also currently selling five limited edition One Direction tapes in partnership with an anti-bullying campaign.
