USED PACKING TAPE - CREATING LOTS OF TEXTURE FOR ALL THINGS JUNK JOURNAL 😊

[@Girasole5849]

Thank you for sharing this “new to me” idea. Love it.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@Girasole5849 thank you so much!😊

[@janicestevens8469]

I love the grungy tape! I especially like the idea of using it for tabs. I can’t wait to play!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@janicestevens8469 thank you. I've already been playing some more!😊❤️

[@pameladouglas5193]

These are great ideas! Also the boxes sometimes have numbers on them that the tape could pull up at least some of them. Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@pameladouglas5193 oh yeah! I didn't even think of that, yes. Definitely going to do that. Thank you so much😊❤️

[@rhondaedwards6665]

Thank you for all these great ideas! I’m going out to the garage and star pulling the tape off our boxes! Yea. ❤😂🎉

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@rhondaedwards6665 I know right!! I was wrestling boxes all over the place for the tape😊

[@judithjones6781]

What a great way to recycle used packing tape. I love the look. I will be adding thus to my idea book. Happy creating.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@judithjones6781 thank you!! 😊

[@joanhawkins8552]

Crumble up dried leaves or stick the tape to a bath towel and pull up the fuzzy. Wow, so many cool ideas. Tfs

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@joanhawkins8552 oh yes!! I have lots of dried leaves. I'm going to try that!! Thank you😊❤️

[@sandyknutson5573]

I was thinking about towel fuzzies!

[@PDoonan]

Bulk tea ??

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@PDoonan yes! Dry tea,, yes!

[@bridgetjones8339]

Why didn’t I think of this🤦‍♀️ the obvious escapes me!! Again! Thank you!😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@bridgetjones8339 me too! It's like good grief,, why have I waited so long. Honestly, the most obvious things, I'm oblivious too! Thank you so much😊❤️

[@PDoonan]

OH my goodness!! I have rolls of new packing tape, cardboard boxes, book pages, towels, off cuts, wrapping paper.......and several journals in the make. Crafters are always looking for different elements. Thanks for sharing.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@PDoonan that's wonderful!! Thank you. That's sounds like a lot of goodness!!😊❤️

[@SheilaThornton-l3g]

I’ve just found you. I love your new ideas. Very interesting. I think of how much tape I’ve already thrown away. With boxes coming in daily for Christmas, I’ll be saving another something to reuse. I recycle my boxes, but pull all the stickers and tape off before I take it to my local UPS office for them to reuse. This will work for me!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@SheilaThornton-l3g wonderful!! You'll have some cool, colored tapes!!😊❤️

[@trinapatterson8872]

I use packing tape to take extra paint off the edges of my gel plate. Adding the fibers would making even cooler

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@trinapatterson8872 oh that's a great idea! Great way to add color. I love it. Thank you😊❤️

[@annekenlon]

Oh my golly, Christy - this is so brilliant! I’ve done packing tape projects before but never thought to rip off the used stuff from incoming boxes and use that! I’ve truly never seen this before and I am smitten. I will absolutely do this. My mail carrier may be surprised this afternoon when I rush out to meet her and snatch taped boxes out of her arms! Thank you!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@annekenlon 😆 thank you Anne! After all the boxes I've opened, I've never noticed it, until now. Can't wait to see what you make😊❤️

[@LoreleiBell-n6m]

I don't have packing tape, but I used regular tape to pick up images I want to use decoratively, esp. from any Christmas ads from news print, it works really well. Great idea!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@LoreleiBell-n6m thank you. I love it😊❤️

[@marysaunders401]

I love how you use it...such cool "makes". New idea to me as well.

@@arlenepowders4989 awesome!! Thank you so much. Would love to see your cards! Do you have a channel?😊❤️

[@InzpiredDezignz]

Great idea! Unfortunately I just threw mine away, but I won't do that next time! I also use some packing tape on vintage images, especially printables. I pull some from the roll fold it over on itself then crunch it up and apply it to the front of the image to age it. Sometimes I distress it or you could use alcohol ink too. Thanks for this great tutorial! I love it!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@InzpiredDezignz that's a great idea! Thank you😊

[@1wngsfn]

Grrrrl, you’re just like me! My favorite embellishments are made with something in the ground or meant for the trash. Or it could be feathers. I love feathers! lol…My daughter says don’t pick that up! Ahahaha, like that will stop me. Great idea. Please keep them coming! Love you your crafts💕

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@1wngsfn I love it!! That cracks me up. Thank you so much. Yes, my daughter says I have enough boxes,, really?? Listen, I'll let you know when I have enough boxes 😆

[@carolm9451]

So funny, I just got an order of stuff.... that I DID NOT need, 🤔 lol, 🤭from JoAnn's and I saved the packing tape from the box. It's green, but still transparent and I thought I could use it for something, so this is awesome Christy. I'm not real crazy about the shine, I've used it before to take the picture off a magazine page then remove most of the paper with water, but would prefer it a little duller. Thinking I may try it and then spray with a matte sealer, 🤨see if that sticks, or maybe see if sanding it a bit would work.... so much to try, so little time, lol. 🥴 The one you did with alcohol ink, is that on top of the tape?? It looks like it, but want to be sure, lol. Thanks as always for sharing Christy, it turned out awesome!! 💜💜💜

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carolm9451 thank you so much. Yes, the alcohol ink is on top of the tape. I thought about putting elmers glue on top, as it dries clear, and takes off the shine, but I didn't try it. 😊❤️

[@carolm9451]

@@CraftedByChristyShop Yep, I've done Elmers, on magazine pages, but wonder if the tape is too shiny that it'll pull together and not stick... I think you should try it and let me know so I don't have too 😂🤣😂 I also like to mix some coffee or brown paint to color the glue, give the picture a "vintage" look 🙂

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carolm9451 deal!! I will try. I'm thinking you're probably right, but doesn't hurt to try😊

[@susietruelove3657]

I've seen this before and the only thing that I don't like about it is the shinny tape how can you do this without the shine

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@susietruelove3657 someone else mentioned that, and I'm going to try painting it with elmers glue to see if it helps. Thank you😊❤️
