I saw it at a big chain home improvement warehouse in the gardening section. It is used for creating slug barrier zones in gardens. I resisted buying it because I didn't know what I would use it for, but the crafty potential is there as well. If you like that tape, you might be interested in copper tape!

My sister and I are both red-plaid freaks since way back, and I want to get some for myself and for her as a gift. I love everyone's ideas here! (Angela M., I particularly like your idea of the front edge of a shelf in a bookcase.) I can picture dozens of uses...so, erica, no buyer's remorse! You've got lots of company anyway. kathy This is funny, because I am staring longingly at the red plaid duct tape in the LL Bean catalog this very minute, but first wanted to check on-line to see if maybe I could find it locally and not pay S/H.

Plaid is my favorite color. Yes, I know it's not a color...it's a pattern. I don't know where to begin with the tape. I'd be overwhelmed by it's fabulousness and probably leave it sitting on my desk for weeks to stare at. Good luck! Yay. Plaid is my favorite color. Yes, I know it’s not a color…it’s a pattern.

Loveliness! Use it: - when mailing packages, because it's much lovelier than plan old packing tape. - recover paperbacks with white paper and border them with tape; makes the book look like it MIGHT be weighty, and it's pretty, too. - wouldn't it be fun to tape a border around the edge of a black umbrella, and maybe a "patch" in the middle somewhere?

Perhaps border an inspiration board in it? It would make typical brown paper packages look even snazzier than they do with string... Becky P.S. June's Wallpaper* had a feature on printed tapes like this - just saw it today. I’m a plaid loving prep myself. Perhaps border an inspiration board in it?

Pretty and functional! Tape up a small tissue box, thus making it refillable (green!) and pretty (and unique). Or decorate a set of something like sewing or scrap booking supplies with this. Or even tools (like the handles of all the screw drivers!) How about taping the wires that are always scattered around electronics. Pretty and functional!

(Just a random idea, since I'm a fan of neither stripes nor plaid.) You could also use it to add stripes to the plain walls inside a closet or the plain drawers of a dresser.

It would look very stylish on a white corrogated box to hide the brown edges. i have relatives all over so i would use it as sort of a gift wrap when shipping packages.
