***The giveaway is now closed!***
If you’ve been reading for a while, you may have heard me mention fabric tape once or twice. After nearly breaking the bank (or paypal) buying pretty Japanese washi tape, I decided I needed to cool it and DIY it a bit. Enter this tutorial and the absolutely amazing Xyron150into my life. MAN ALIVE, I WAS HOOKED!
I have used fabric tape on packages in the mail, on greeting cards, on postcards, on invitations, on pretty much everything I make that requires some adhesive or would benefit from some pretty.
The other day, I was writing in a composition notebook (you know, the kind of ugly marbled Mead ones) and it could REALLY use some prettifying. SO..out came the sticker maker and fabric.
I like to tear my fabric. It makes the strips straight and it’s just easier to me. You can certainly cut them if you’d like. I ran the 1.5″-ish strips through my Xyron 150 and out came beautiful strips of fabric tape ready for my notebook. I applied them horizontally from one edge, around the binding, to the other edge. It worked out beautifully!
The giveaway I have here for you guys is for a Pink Ribbon Xyron 150! I’ll include 2 extra cartridges (total of 3 = 60ft of adhesive!), so you can make as much fabric tape or stickers as your heart desires! I’ve been using mine since last year and let’s just say I now know to keep extra refills around because you can definitely get a little carried away turning everything into a sticker. :)
To enter, become a follower of the blog (left sidebar) and leave a comment telling me your favorite color!
For extra entries (leave a separate comment for each):
–Tweet about it mentioning @goodknits.
–Like and mention @GoodKnits on Facebook.
–Blog about this post and link back.
Giveaway will be open until 11:59pm CST on May 19. Good luck everyone!
**I thought I should mention Xyron has no idea who I am and is not sponsoring this giveaway. I just LOVE my little machine so much and I’ve had inquiries about fabric tape before. I want to spread the sticker madness! I chose the Pink Ribbon sticker maker because Xyron will donate 50 cents for every unit sold to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. If you don’t win, I implore you to buy one! It’s a small investment for tons of creative fun.**
WHAT?!?!? Oh Lisa, I hope to keep my winning streak on your blog alive! If not, I’m definitely going to have to pick one up myself. This looks like so much fun. The sticker doesn’t come out…ummm….sticky does it? Like, it has the peel back paper on it, right?
no! It’s like a real sticker! peel back and everything. it’s AMAZING. Check out the tutorial here– http://blog.nataliejost.com/post/3423696516/fabric-tape It was the first time I saw fabric tape made with this machine and pretty much rocked my world.
Wow! That is SO cool! If I’m not lucky here I think I need to buy one for myself and my Mumma! Oh, and my favourite colour is green!
Fantastic. This is just the cutest. And if I don’t win, I’m buying my own!
Also, I retweeted. And I seem to be having a mind-blank, so in answer to ‘what’s your favourite colour?’… I can’t pick. Like, a mother never picks her favourite child, right? Or at least, she never lets anyone know who her favourite child is.
hahahah! that will do. :)
That is AWESOME! I have a bunch of journals I got to revamp as gifts, and I <3 stickers. If I don't win I will totally buy one of these.
My favorite color is "bright." I'm all about vibrant colors right now but I couldn't possibly pick just one hue…
Awesome! My favorite color it green!
First — I so love my postcard swap photo from you. I got the guy with the muscles & tattoos, and he’s just so cute I have to hide it from my husband (just kidding about that last part). I loved how you packaged it, too, and was already considering getting a sticker maker and was already about to follow your blog, so this giveaway is the icing on the cake.
Favorite color — I change all the time, but lately I’m loving green.
Awesome! That is so cool! Hmm… my favorite color right now is bright yellow. Especially when it’s paired with dark grey or bright blue. :)
<3 Lora
That is so neat. And I have tons of fabric scraps that i can never bring myself to throw away but would make awesome tape. Have you ever tried it with crocheted cord or just a chain if it has to be flat? My favorite color is teal.
I haven’t tried it with crocheted cord or chain! I think the fabric/paper has to be fairly thin, so unless you use thread, it might not work.:/
Any color that’s bright is my favorite, but right now I’d say BLUE. That’s my cat’s eye color. http://www.flickr.com/photos/anelanhelo/5704071806/ ♥
neat-o! my fav. color right now is green :)
I <3 that notebook! I'm a big fan of purple at the moment.
Mustard Yellow… w/ bubblegum pink & orange. (sorry can’t pick one color)

My favorite color is teal! It is especially funny, because it was sort of an unconscious trend, and it was my room mate who pointed out to me that everything I had bought in the last month was some shade of teal. It’s just so pretty :)

Also my favorite color is robins egg blue :) (and I’m already a follower of your fabulous blog and So glad I checked my poor backlogged google reader this morning!)

my favorite color is green, but my sticker machine is pink! i already own the pink ribbon sticker maker, but i know someone who really wants one and it would make a perfect birthday gift for her!!
Love how you covered those boring marbled notebooks! I’m the ‘Sunshine’ coordinator at my son’s school & so a few times each school year I make & give cute & useful gifts to ALL the teachers. This is a fun, easy & inexpensive idea, thanks :) My favorite color is yellow …. think it always has been, it’s so full of joy & hopefulness & always manages to put a smile on my face :)
