Using Tear & Tape as a temporary adhesive.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you read the title and wonder if I have lost my mind? Well…maybe a little, but let me explain.

Recently I received a custom order of some magnets. I had the magnets figured out but I was having a hard time figuring out how to package them. Should I just create a big ball of magnets and wrap the entire tangled mess in some bubble wrap? No. Should I buy a piece of metal to stick them to? No. (adds more weight)

Finally I looked around and thought to package them similarly to how our dies are packaged. A piece of double-stick tape wasn’t strong enough. Glue dots were too tedious. Tear & Tape had just the right amount of stick to get them through the mail without one coming loose. While Tear & Tape is normally very strong it was the perfect temporary adhesive solution for me.

Remember that just because something is labeled a certain way doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it with something else.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
