The holiday waiting calendar is a thing that is not yet familiar to many, but very interesting. Traditionally, it is made for children a month before the New Year to “brighten up” the expectation of the holiday. For each day of the calendar, an envelope with a candy or other small gift is glued. The envelope can be opened once a day. Of course, you can “wait” with the help of the calendar not only for the New Year, but also for any other joyful event. And decorative tape will help to make and decorate such a calendar. 4.

This material is able to transform almost any thing beyond recognition, to give it a new life. There are a lot of ways to decorate objects with adhesive tape.
What is decorative tape
Decor duct tape, or Washi Tape, is a small roll of fabric or paper based adhesive tape with a printed pattern. Interior items and decor are decorated with decorative adhesive strips. A thin, strong base perfectly adheres to uneven surfaces with a complex shape, which allows you to use adhesive tape with a pattern not only in scrapbooking, but also when decorating household items and clothing items.
The peculiarity of decorative adhesive tape is that it is completely harmless, can be glued to any surface, looks great on both white and colored bases. It is very easy to work with such material: a ribbon is selected that is needed in color, suitable width and a specific pattern. From the selected material, pieces of different shapes are cut out or simply torn off, then glued to the surface.
What can be done
Ideas with decorative tape are very diverse: you can arrange photo albums, gift wrapping, stickers to decorate furniture, jars for bulk items, caskets. You can also make unusual options for greeting cards, panels, children's toys. Colored adhesive strips are used to decorate household items (chest of drawers, chairs, shelves), used to decorate walls, doors, and stylize gadgets.

How to choose decorative tape
The criteria for choosing adhesive tape for decor depend on what is planned to be decorated, what surface of the base. General recommendations are as follows:
- For gluing on a smooth surface, any type of tape is suitable; for a complex base, it is advisable to choose paper or fabric.
- Pay attention to the length of the winding on the roll.
- Choose adhesive tape according to the width. It should fit as closely as possible under the base, because it is inconvenient to cut the tape along the length.
- Openwork or holographic material is more suitable for working with flat bases.
- Choose rolls with a quality pattern.
You can buy decorative tape at any stationery store, order it through an online store, by mail. Delivery is carried out in any place. The cost in the regions of Moscow, St. Petersburg varies from 100 to 500 rubles, but it all depends on the size, characteristics of the product, the number of rolls in the package. You can find out more about how much decorative tape costs on the seller's website. If the sale is wholesale, regular customers are given a discount. A purchase can be inexpensive when a sale takes place, an action is organized.

Decorative tape is a popular element for decorating personal diaries, notebooks, planners, and other surfaces. You can buy it in stationery stores, or you can make it yourself. In the second case, it will be not only beautiful, but also unique. Moreover, the process of its manufacture is simple and fast. So how do you make decorative tape?
Work materials
To make decorative tape with your own hands, you will need a simple set of tools: a double-sided tape of the desired width and scissors.
The following can be used as a decorative layer:
- lace of small width (preferably synthetic);
- printout on ordinary office paper;
- sheets of colored thin cardboard;
- wrapping paper;
- long strips of fabric (it is better to take cotton with a polka dot pattern, a cage or a strip, such material will bloom less along the edge and will not spoil the look of the finished tape);
- napkin with a pattern (decoupage or plain);
- foil for creativity (food is not suitable, as it is too thin and non-plastic).
How to make decorative tape?
The work process consists of five steps that must be repeated for each desired decorative layer:
- Prepare the material for the decorative layer. Fabric and lace need to be ironed. If there are wrinkles on the wrapping paper, it is also better to iron them. Separate the two lower layers from the napkin, leaving only the one on which the pattern is applied.
- Unwind the required amount of tape.
- Apply decorative material to the adhesive side and smooth it gently.
- Cut to desired length.
- Repeat steps as many times as needed.
When making decorative tape from foil and wrapping paper, it is better to apply the adhesive side of the tape to the material itself, and not vice versa. This will help avoid wrinkles and air bubbles.
Printing for decorative tape is best done on a laser printer. Such drawings will be more resistant and will not spread if water gets on the adhesive tape. To give such a tape endurance, you can cover the decorative layer with a finishing adhesive. It is also advisable to do with a tape made of napkins and thin cardboard.
The special finishing adhesive is replaced by an ordinary transparent office adhesive tape, which is glued over the decorative adhesive tape.
Second manufacturing method
There is another way to make decorative tape. To create a more artistic and beautiful adhesive tape, you will need:
- white napkin;
- stamps for creativity with a small pattern;
- stamp holder (if necessary);
- stamp pad of any color (preferably archival quality);
- sponge or very soft brush;
- pencil glue;
- adhesive double-sided tape;
- decoupage or any finishing glue (optional).
On a napkin, you need to stamp the design with an ink pad and let it dry. Before use, separate the bottom layers from the napkin. Glue the patterned layer to the desired surface using stick glue. For greater durability, the pattern can be covered with a layer of finishing glue.
As in the first method, you can glue the top layer of the patterned napkin to double-sided tape and cover it with decoupage glue to add strength.
How and where to store homemade tape?
Now that you know how to make decorative tape, it's important to know how to properly store it. The main task is to maintain the stickiness of the adhesive tape, so you should protect it from direct sunlight. In addition to bright light, adhesive tape is afraid of heat from the battery and other heating devices. With prolonged exposure to temperature, it can simply "melt".
It is better to store the finished tape in a folder file or by twisting it into a roll and securing the tip with a paper clip. After that, it should be removed in the closet. You can also store it in a special tape dispenser, which is sold in stationery stores. Such a device has another plus - it is equipped with a special cutting edge that will simplify the work with adhesive tape.
Decorative tape is an indispensable thing in the design of gifts and creative crafts. But the colored adhesive tape itself can become a craft. Now the market is full of all kinds of decorative adhesive tapes, and making a greeting card or a homemade gift without them is not so interesting and spectacular. And why? After all, they are created specifically to make our holidays more beautiful and more fun.
Many believe that its manufacture requires special production technologies. This is not entirely true. There is a fairly simple way to make decorative tape at home. The manufacturing process itself will take a little over an hour.
What you need to make decorative tape
You will need the following materials:
- glossy magazines;
- ordinary tape (choose the width depending on what size you want to get a decorative tape);
- warm water;
- plastic card or regular ruler.
How easy it is to make decorative tape yourself
When everything you need is prepared, you can begin the creative process.
- From a glossy magazine, cut strips to match the width of the tape. The paper base can be made a little wider, as it can be trimmed later.
- All cut paper strips must be attached to the adhesive tape. Trim the edges by cutting off any excess around the edges.
- To avoid any pimples, iron the adhesive tape with a card or ruler, displacing trapped air. Remember how in childhood you smoothed the foil from a chocolate bar with your fingernail. The principle of operation is the same.
- Next, dip the strip in warm water and leave for about an hour. The water must not be hot.
- When paper pellets appear on the tape, you can pull the craft out of the water. Separate the paper layer. You can use a sponge or do it by hand.
- Stick the tape to any clean surface where it can be easily removed.
- Leave it to dry.
Here's how to make decorative tape quickly and easily. This method is suitable for older children, as it requires patience and accuracy.
