It’s no secret that we’re head over heels for those simple moments of beauty in life. A fresh cut flower here, a pair of light-up sunglasses because why not, a photo booth for no apparent reason — you know the deal. So, we were happy to oblige when the folks at Scotch® Brand asked us to share some of our favorite everyday tape hacks.

Now, from florals to party signs, here are four everyday tape hacks to make life more beautiful.
Flower Arrangement Hack
For this little trick, we used Scotch® Magic™ Tape to create a grid on top of a square vase. You can use this grid to create a flower arrangement if you can’t find floral foam.
2. Affordable Wall Art: Need to fill a few empty walls? In just minutes, you can turn a few canvases or even a piece of cardboard into custom wall art. We combined Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape and Scotch® Patterned Duct Tape to create the patterns you see above.
Shoelace Repair
Got a pair of laces with frayed ends? You can use Scotch® Magic™ Tape or Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape to repair your laces in a jiffy. You can also use this same technique to create your own laces from neon rope if you like :)
4. Custom Party Signage: Lastly, if you’re throwing a party and need a custom sign, all you need is paper, glitter, Scotch® Double-Sided Tape and scissors to make your own. Print the word or name you want to make a sign out of on card stock, then cover that with Scotch® Double-Sided Tape. Cut out the letters and sprinkle glitter on them. After you’ve pressed the glitter firmly onto each letter, use twine to create a garland.
Done and done. Cheers!
