The Suspect: Swinton Avenue Trading Graphic Tape w/Dispenser


OMG! I love graphic tape!

That is no joke. I do love graphic tape! In fact, I am sometimes surprised I don't see more of it. I know there is a lot out there, I even follow an entire blog on graphic tape alone called "I love Sticky Tape", but it isn't as common in regular tape-friendly stores like Office Depot where I found this pack hiding in the $1 bin.

This graphic tape came in a package of four with four different color and word schemes. Here is the breakdown of each roll:

1. Pink tape with hearts and "BFF" writing.
2. Purple tape with stars and "Besties" and "lol" writing.
3. Yellow tape with thought bubbles and "OMG!" writing.
4. Magenta tape with "cUl8r" and "XOXO" writing.

In case you are feeling down because the tape is so, err girly, when I found this tape in the $1 bin it was with some other graphic tape that had a more male-friendly theme of skateboarding and snowboarding terms and colors.

 

This graphic tape is especially nice for passing notes in class (not that any of us have or would ever do that) or hanging pictures up in your locker. It adds a lot of fun to whatever you're taping. It doesn't come with a whole lot on each roll, but I would almost call it reusable. After messing up on taping one of the sides for the picture above, I was able to easily peel it off with no paper coming off with it and re-tape it with no problems or less stickyness- maybe that is because it seems more clingy than sticky. Either way, you could use it to hang pictures in your locker with no problems moving it around from place to place. Even days later, I am still able to remove it and re-stick it with no problem.

I think this is a cute addition to any fun school supplies collection. I plan to pass this down to my little sister though, who I think will find a much better use for it than I will- No passing notes in class though ;) !

  1. I have been seeing this tape around more and more. I need to buy some for my DIY planner. Also I love the Staedtler triplus fineliner pens, that you previously reviewed, for my planner. They are great

  2. The Finger


    The Finger makes everything stay put! With its magic adhesive you can stick the Finger on your windshield to hold your parking pass or stick it on your dash to hold notes or directions.
    The uses are only limited by your imagination - just stick and slip.

    i love the envelope idea! putting the graphic tape on the envelope is definitely a fun way to accent an otherwise plain envelope!
