Instead of wrapping your presents with boring sellotape, make rolls of pretty decorative wrapping tape with your favourite patterned wrapping or scrapbooking paper and double-side tape. This wrapping tape is also perfect for wrapping up plain, brown paper wrappings.

 

 

YOU WILL NEED:

Pretty wrapping or scrapbooking paper
Double-sided tape
Craft knife and cutting mat
Steel ruler
Cotton spool

 

 

 

CONTINUES BELOW

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1
Measure the height of the spool, or whatever you are using to store your wrapping tape onto. Use a sharp craft knife and cutting mat to cut the wrapping paper into strips.

 

 

 

 

Step 2
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 a craft knife, cut the tape out.

 

 

 

 

Step 3
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.
