I used my favorite scarf to make this fabric tape last year. After snagging it in a door, I was quite happy to give the accessory a new life as beautiful tape! Last week I found the tape, remembered how much I adored it and used pieces of it to brighten a otherwise boring corner.

I immediately remembered we had shot this tutorial and never ended up posting it. Here are a few tips on recycling your clothing and making fabric tape. A very easy and fun way to brighten up a corner, or to hold a large floral backdrop.

To make the fabric tape, first run lengths of plain masking tape along the glossy side of wax paper. Using a small brush cover the top of the tape with Mod Podge. Then lay your fabric down on top of the tape and let dry. Once dry, cut the strips of tape off of the wax paper and peel the paper off the backside. Roll up for future wrapping or decorating uses!
