How To: Spooky Packing Tape Transfers

Here is a super simple project for those with access to a laser printer and clear packing tape. Maybe on your lunch break at work? Although this tutorial is geared towards our fast approaching Halloween holiday, you could use the same method to make stickers for any occasion.

The directions for making your own spooky candles are over at How About Orange. As an added bonus, Jessica Jones has linked to a database of free vintage clip art to make your transfers extra creepy!

I tried this earlier today. It really is just that easy and as long as you trim the tape along the image edge you can 'laminate' large images as the lines from the overlapping tape are rather subtle, thanks to all the black ink.
