we just can't help it.
we heart papertape.
lots.
click here to see them all

1. sturdy, yet easy to tear. 
2. sew on it. 
3. stamp on it. 
4. write on it.
5. use distress ink to change the color.
6.  paper backing makes it easy to cut with decorative scissors. (and share!)
7.  Add rubbings over the top to add detail.
8. cut it up and make something else like a little flag or banner.
9.  make patterns using the design of the tape, like a frame.
10.  layer tapes for added texture.
love it.

rather inspiring...

 Loving the latest tape craze?  We are too!  We've got a full line of papertapes (think fabulous masking tape) and some rather unique ideas for how to use them.

(click HERE to view & shop our full line of papertapes)


7gypsies artist, Vicki Boutin used them to bind her latest book:

Journal No. 12~ a soft collection hardcovered

We are just days away from releasing a brand new holiday papertape!  Just think of the gift wrapping possibilities....




We stumbled upon these unique ways to use decorative tapes at various places online and thought we'd share some of these creative ideas with you!  Enjoy....


Gift Wrapping


Handmade Cards (yes those houses are made from tape!)


Travel Journal (use a 7gypsies petit carnet!)

It comes in a set of three, 1yd rolls and matches the Savannah paper line which you can view on the opening page of our website. Chocolate brown, blue and creme.
