How to Use Double Sided Tape for Scrapbooks

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Leslie Moselle and I'm from Tampa, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village, this is the essentials of scrapbooking. Chapter thirteen: double sided tape. For those of you who are used to doing scrapbooking, you are well aware that there are different types of scrapbooking tape. Double sided tape you can either buy the regular Scotch brand that you can find at your drugstore. They actually sell stronger double-sided tape that is made especially for scrapbooking. The Scotch tape works perfectly fine for me. The best part of double-sided tape is that it's not messy. If you want a quick way of applying things to your scrapbook, your page, or for any project that you have, it's quick and easy and you can really control the amount that you use. If just have a small piece like this piece here, you just cut to size whatever size you'd like. It's very strong, so make sure you're sure that you're ready to go ahead and tape it down into your page. This is so much easier, especially if you have kids and you don't want them getting into the glue, which can just cause more of a headache than an actual project being fun. You can just give them the double-sided tape. It's so fast to use. You just put it on all 4 sides. If you have a larger page, you want to tape down just put it on all 4 sides. You don't even have to use this much. You can always just take small pieces and put it on the corners of your page like this and it'll hold just as well. Just press down. You can even use little small pieces just like this for smaller little scraps. I like to cut things out of magazines. Sometimes those are lighter weight pieces of paper and you don't want to put heavy Elmer's glue or use a glue stick because it just runs through the page. It's good enough for the light pages or the light pieces of paper, durable, and good enough for the more heavy card that you want to cut out. That's the use of double sided tape. You can use it for you paper, for your fabrics, your ribbons. Whatever you want to use it for it works."
