Round steel clips, binder or bulldog clips, and some washi tapes. It’s alright, even if you have only one type of washi tape.
Here I use different types of mt masking tapes – colored and patterned tapes to show you what they look like.
I have a few different binder clips in my drawer, and some of them are rusty. Don’t bother to use them at all especially the round clips as they look “dirty”.
The first mt tape I use is square pink (green and pink mt tape as shown in the picture above) without covering the round part. And the other one is slash red (red and orange pattern) covering the circle portion.
Honestly speaking, it’s not easy to cover a round shape object. But there are many ways you can do such as cutting washi tape into smaller pieces and attaching carefully.
Other than putting one layer of pretty tape, you can stick different layers like the two bulldog clips in the picture. One is purple and green border mt tapes and another one is brown and mt ex marine life masking tapes.
Because of the variety of decorative tapes, you can beautify ordinary clips into something fun, colorful, striking, or cute very quickly.
You can have the same designs, colors, or patterns for all your stationery if you prefer. Or, simply mix and match different colors.
Here is another sample (the second picture). The red mosaic pattern is stunning on the pink punch.
Another available color is a green mosaic. Have you experienced this… the stationery is always mysteriously gone without your notice especially if you work in an office?
Well, it’s not that your colleagues wanted to take your punch without telling you. Perhaps you are not at your desk. Or perhaps, they are in a hurry and assume they only use it for a while. But they’ve totally forgotten to return to you afterward.
By the time, you want to use it, it’s not within your reach, and you can’t find it (let’s say your office is huge). Well, some people label the stationery.
But what about using washi tape? Not only will it beautify your ordinary stationery into something extraordinary, but you will also be able to locate quickly if someone has taken yours without telling you.
Plus, if you are bored with the current pattern, just remove the tape and put on a new pattern.
It’s awesome and quick! Give it a try!
