Thanks to Scotch(R) Double Sided Tape for sponsoring my writing about crafts. Add your comment below to be entered for a chance to win free sample rolls to help with your upcoming holiday needs.
We all know Scotch tape is useful around the house, especially with a 4 and 6 year old who think a craft project involves an entire roll of tape, markers, and sheet of paper. Rather than share my girls' "art projects," we decided to make something together with a Fall theme.
We used several different kinds of cardstock, Scotch double sided tape, and a very basic tree trunk. I gotz mad drawing skillz, yo!
We've all made hand print turkeys and leaves in school. There's a reason why we keep going to the classic hand print, because it's cute and your kids will only voluntarily participate in the cute for so long. While my kids still think it's fun, we were using their hand prints! Once the hand prints were cut, I used double sided tape to secure to the cardstock, popped it in a frame. And, voila! Instant decor. The final product is pictured above. You can go the extra mile and use paint to add thumbprint leaves on the trees or add things you are thankful for on the branches. We had a busy weekend, so we were lucky to get this done. I really liked using the Scotch double sided tape for a project like this because scrapbook tape is really too lightweight and glue always bunches up the paper. *Scotch should really start marketing to scrapbookers because the Scotch double sided tape is WAY stronger than scrapbook tape. Much better.* We also used the double sided tape to decorate the girls' art center and make a ton of cards.

I can always use more tape! We always have projects going at my house.
ReplyDeleteThis could be the most ironic comment in my blogging career.
ReplyDeleteI ran out of tape today.
Seriously.
Also? Cuuuuute crafts. ;)
Super cute craft project! I'd love to have more tape around here--I have a 5 year old who thinks he's Handy Manny and can fix everything with tape. :)

love the craft! You can never have too much tape in the house!
ReplyDeleteRock on, I need some of that tape! Love the tree, been thinking about doing something similar, except writing things the kids are thankful for on the hands.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I've played with double-sided tape!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the Easter Bunny left each kid at our house SIX rolls of Scotch Tape? Not kidding.... It was sooo much better than jelly beans. The rolls were gone by the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteWe need more.... Santa is not here yet.
So proud of your giveaway!!!!
