Every now and then, a product comes along that sounds just perfect.
I was offered the chance to try some Scotch Restickable Tabs, and I have to say, these tick a lot of boxes for me:
- They are perfect for craft activities
- They are re-usable - once the stickiness is lost, wash them in soapy water and they can be used again
- They are transparent so can be used on glass 'invisibly'
- They remove cleanly (although not recommended for use on wallpaper, delicate surfaces or 'flat' paint)
Each tab is capable of holding up to a quarter of a pound in weight, so I thought I'd give them a go. I tried them out to hang fairy lights in Ruby's room. Although I used quite a lot of tabs to evenly distribute the weight, so far so good!
Sadly I didn't find them terribly effective at holding fabrics - they don't hold up my bunting (sob). However, I'm looking forward to using these to stick up our Christmas cards this year, and may even use them to make some cards myself - they'd be ideal for getting a slight 3D effect on paper crafts.
Scotch Restickable Tabs are available from Rymans, Staples http://www.3mselect.co.uk/ and other outlets, but I have 5 packs to give away...

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of sticky tape, as you know (sad, sad, sad), and these look great to add to my collection! I stick a lot of images and postcards up around my working desk, which I like to change around on a regular basis, so that's what I'd use them for.
