The Many Uses of Transparent Tape
by
The transparent tape… one of the most important things I keep around in the house, mainly because I pack and ship stuff all the time and would need this to seal the goodies. But do you know there are several other uses for the transparent tape? Below are just some of it:
- Cutting Bangs - this is most useful when it comes to children, who can’t stay still when you’re trying to trim part of their bangs. Simply wet the area and then tape down the bangs. Cut it just right above the tape, using the edge as the guide. Doing it this way eliminates uneven cutting.
- Repair Curtains in the Shower - With torn shower curtains that you don’t wanna throw away yet, cover this with scotch tape to prevent the hole from getting bigger.
- Hemming Jeans - If you don’t like to use push pins like I do…because I’m too clumsy and will most likely pierce myself, use transparent tape instead of it to hold the hem in place. Fold the jeans to the length you desire, then tape it down.
- Keep Cats Off - Cats apparently do not like the feel of sticky tape and if you have one of them on the kitchen counter all the time, put a few strips of tape on the counter to discourage them from climbing up atop it.
- Keep Off Labels - Irritated by the label on the back of your shirt? Instead of cutting it out, let it lie flat by putting a tape on it.
- Bird Feeder - Set down strips of tape inside out by your window sill. Sprinkle this with bird seed and watch bird flock to it. In no time, this will become their favorite spot.
