Tape is another one of those versatile objects that you can use around the home [1] to fix things or even to help you decorate your home. Check out these really cool and creative uses for this everyday product!

Wallet

Use pretty duct tape colors to create a wallet. This tape wallet will be great to take with you when you're traveling so you don't have to worry about carrying an expensive wallet around and you won't mind getting it dirty. Here are instructions on how to make your own [2].

Cupcake Toppers

Pretty patterned tape can be used to create cupcake toppers. Simply affix a length of tape over a toothpick and it'll make a cute flag.

Gift Tags

Again, you can use pretty colored tape to create your own gift tags or spice up a plain one.

Colorful Clothes Pegs

Take boring wooden clothes pegs and carefully cut out and stick pretty tape on the flat surfaces.

Flowers

Make flowers out of duct tape — you won't have to water these flowers and they'll never wilt. Add these flowers to a present to make the packaging look prettier or you can even put them in a vase to spruce up your home.

Picking Up Pet Hair

Use tape to pick up pet hair on your furniture, clothes, bedding, and everything possible place your furry friend likes to explore.

Cool Nail Art

Experiment with tape when you're painting your nails and use it to create precise lines for those cool geometric designs.

Makeshift Band-Aid

When you don't have band-aids, use tape and some gauze to make your own.

Pick Up Broken Glass

Dealing with broken glass can be quite dangerous, so when you've picked up and thrown away the bigger pieces, use tape and stick and unstick it in the area where the glass broke. The shards of glass will stick to the tape, and you won't have to worry about cutting your foot.

Remove Lipstick From Silk

If you have a lipstick smear on your silk blouse, put some tape on it and quickly rip it off to remove the stain.

Protect Product Labels

If there's an important label you need to protect, such as a medicine or beauty product with complicated instructions, place some tape on top of it to protect the label. This will help protect it from wear and tear, and even water.

Clean Keyboard

If your keyboard needs cleaning, take some tape and cut it into narrow strips and slip it between the keys to pick up the dirt.

Painting Jobs

To be very precise, you can use tape to help you create straight patterns when you're painting your walls or other furniture.
