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.
<b>Flower Arrangement Hack</b>
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.
<b>Shoelace Repair</b>
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!
