Make your own fabric tape

Surprise! For the first time in a long time, there's going to be a DIY project here on the blog. And what better way to kick it off with a tutorial on how to make cute fabric tape?

I absolutely love fabric tape. It's one of my top 10 go to craft supplies. But at $6 or more for a little roll of it, it can get a bit pricey. Here's how to make your own for under $4:

For this project, you'll need: 
Fabric - any size (I purchased a yard of the strawberry fabric shown above for only $2!)
Scissors - any kind will do.
Tape/Sticky Adhesive - (I used double-sided clear tape and it worked wonderfully! Make sure yours is double sided, or it won't work for this project.

Step 1: Cut your fabric into strips about 1/2 an inch wide. Make them long strips so you can cut them to size when needed.

 Step 2: Apply the adhesive to the back of your strips of fabric.
Tip: Once you're finished, place the fabric strips on a plastic sheet to keep them sticky until needed.

That's about it! You can use the fabric tape for so many things: adding decoration to notebooks, scrapbooks, wrapping for presents, or to display notes and artwork like I have. The options are endless!

I really love creating these as they're super easy to make, not to mention the fact that they look too lovely not to use!
