Lace Tape



GENIUS: Take lace and put it on transparent tape. Great gift wrap idea or decoration for presents. #Gift_Wrap #Ribbon #Lace_Ribbon_Tape


This post inspired me to add my first label to this blog.  There are way too many pins out there that say "GENIUS" which are, let's say, less brilliant than that.

This pin heavily implies that you can achieve results like the picture by laying lace on tape and then using that tape for gift wrapping or other decoration.  While that could work, it's unlikely that using lace that is nearly the width of your tape and which is also that dense would result in tape that was sticky enough to work.  And if you look closely at this picture, you can tell that the lace is printed on the tape; lace has not actually been affixed to the tape.

Maybe if you glued the lace to the non-sticky part of the tape it might work, but then if you rolled it back up (like this picture) you'd end up getting the lace stuck to the rest of your tape and it'd probably end up getting linty.

If you really want lace tape, it's probably best to go ahead and buy it from the Etsy seller who posted this picture in the first place (or numerous other sources).
