Easy DIY: Floral Trim Stationery Tape

An item that's a CoolPencilCase.com office favorite is the Floral Stationery Trim Tape. For those of you who are fans of washi tape, you'll definitely be fans of this tutorial. We decided to take some props from our photo studio and see what awesome and easy do-it-yourself designs we could think up. Get ready to spruce up your office and living space with these ideas!

For this project, you'll need our floral trim stationery tape,
scissors, and a vase or bowl.

It's easiest to measure how much floral tape you need to wrap
around your object. This stuff is too cute to waste!

It's the summer, so bright colors are a win! We chose a jolly
yellow and bright blue color combo and gave this plain
object a total makeover. Now, it's anything but ordinary.

Our floral stationery tape come in really cute cutout
designs. Here's an up-close shot of the butterfly pattern.

We didn't stop there! We took strips of the floral trim stationery
tape and cut them into angled strips for a modern, chic look.

 We took a piece of black paper to provide a great contrast
against our selection of fun and bright colors. These would make
 great scrapbook or journal cover designs!

Seeing how great the angled strips looked, it was only
necessary to spruce up some more household objects.
We took this plain white vase....

...and turned it into this. How cool does this overlap effect look?

And it's a small, but fun makeover in minutes!

A Look Into the Cool Pencil Case Office

One of the best things about working at Cool Pencil Case is this beautiful office and photo studio we get to work in. It's cozy, organized, and is an open space for us to talk, joke around, and create business plans.


To the left is our photo studio. We've also got loads and loads of props on both sides to make our product shots more interesting. The most important part of our studio? The lights. 


Here's a look at our prop section. These items are used to create layouts for our product shots. We love to collect everything. Yes, EVERYTHING. In those boxes are pens, pencils (of course), bubblegum, old ID cards, rocks, baby toys, etc. 


Ahh, the workspace. Our employees have their own desks to work, work, eat, joke, and work. It's also easy to organize ourselves with the amount of cabinets and shelves. The subtle colors go really well with each other and keep us relaxed throughout the day.


There's nothing like a well-lit space to really get work done. The contemporary look continues on with unique dry erase boards and steel details.



What's your favorite part of our office?
