MAN ALIVE, I WAS HOOKED! <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>The other day, I was writing in a composition notebook (you know, the kind of ugly <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/l891DH\" target=\"_blank44\">marbled Mead<\/a> ones) and it could REALLY use some prettifying. SO..out came the sticker maker and fabric.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/5715728673\/\" title=\"365: the fabric covered notebook by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3513\/5715728673_d7a0a3fa5c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"365: the fabric covered notebook\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I like to tear my fabric. It makes the strips straight and it&#8217;s just easier to me. You can certainly cut them if you&#8217;d like. I ran the 1.5&#8243;-ish strips through my <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/lF8RN7\" target=\"_blank55\">Xyron 150<\/a> 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.
