Introduction
When it comes to gift-giving, the presentation is just as important as the gift itself. One easy way to add a special touch to your wrapping is by using decorative tape. Not only does it add color and pattern, but it can also help secure the wrapping paper without needing extra tape or bows. Here are some creative gift wrapping ideas using decorative tape.
Color Block
One idea is to use two or three different colors of decorative tape to create a color block effect on the wrapping paper. Start by wrapping your gift in a solid color paper, then place strips of tape side-by-side in a row across the center of the package. Make sure the tape is straight and evenly spaced. Repeat this process with the other colors, alternating between the top and bottom of the center row. This creates a modern and stylish look.
Geometric Shapes
If you have a more geometric or angular design on your tape, consider using it to create shapes on the wrapping paper. For example, cut out triangle shapes from a tape with a triangle pattern, then stick them in a row across the middle of the package. You can also use tape to create diamond, square, or hexagon shapes on the package. Consider using different tape colors to create a multicolored geometric design.
Personalized Messages
You can also use tape to convey a special message or personalization on your gift. Use letter-shaped tape to spell out the recipient’s name or a message like “Happy Birthday.” Alternatively, create a design like a heart or star using small strips of tape. You can also draw a picture or create a design and use the tape to fill in the shapes.
Woven Tape
Finally, one unique way to use decorative tape is to weave it together to create a colorful and textured wrapping paper. Start with a base color of wrapping paper, then cut strips of different colored tape and weave them together over the paper. Tape the ends of the woven strips to the back of the wrapping paper to secure them in place. This creates a stunning and intricate pattern that will make your gift stand out.
