8 Electrical Tape Hacks

in Lifestyle on 08/27/14

You know I am a complete sucker for an easy, fast, and cheap project. While my projects are far from perfect, I do know that the littlest detail can go a long way in a room.

Enter electrical tape. 

Seriously? Seriously. 


You can get 5 feet of this stuff for $2.45. Imagine what you can do with all of that tape! Not convinced? Here are 8 “hacks” that you can do with electrical tape. 

1. Last year when I was putting together my Halloween tablescape, I knew the candlesticks just needed a little something-something. So I went perusing in the basement and the tape was the perfect little detail to make the table pop.

2. Then I spiffed up some free chargers with electrical tape here. 

3. Carmel at Our Fifth House added some stylish chevron to her first closet makeover here.  Yeah, I said first makeover, since this makeover homegirl has made it even more awesome. Note to self: clean out your closet!

4. Jenna at Rain on Tin Roof is the “Queen of Cheap Hacks.” (how do you like that nickname Jenna?) She spiffed up this lampshade with tape here. 
5. Got an old Ikea Expedit? I know I do! And I just LOVE this quick makeover. 
I am seriously doing this ASAP. 
6. Customize a plain white frame mat. 
This is ALSO being added to my to-do list. Stat. 

7. Got an ugly old washer and dryer? Make it cute!

8. I love this entry makeover with an old Ikea cabinet. The electrical tape just adds so much detail here! 
What about you, have you ever hacked something with tape? I love when something so simple can make such a big impact!
