If you've ever wanted to get a perfectly straight line in a painting project, you know how important it is to use high-quality painter's tape, especially if you want to keep a crisp separation between walls. But it turns out that there are tons of uses for good painter's tape — from artwork to painting patterns to stenciling to crafts. We've been utterly wowed by the range of projects ScotchBlue is featuring in their ScotchBlue Ribbons initiative, a contest that recognizes and rewards the creators of unique projects all around the Internet. From a faux-damask wallpaper to an ombré lampshade to an upcycled vintage suitcase, creative DIYers are using ScotchBlue to get that razor-sharp edge.
