Creative Uses for Clear Packing Tape

Heidi ♦ November 26, 2008 ♦ 2 Comments

I’m all about simplifying my life. As any parent knows, the electronic toys of today require many batteries, tools, and an iron determination (as well as at least twenty minutes) when it comes to replacing those batteries.

My kids are now beyond the point that I have to worry about them removing a AA battery and trying to ingest it, so I have started using clear packing tape to hold the batteries in on such fun toys as the Vtech – V.Smile Pocket Learning System.

Another notable implementation of clear packing tape is to replace a lost piggy bank plug. If you keep a tiny piggy bank from Las Vegas on your dryer like I do, you might find that you have to empty it into your Disney fund frequently. The tape provides easy access to your ching-a-ling.

Finally, if you are late to work and notice a major lint or fuzz invasion on your black pants, a strip of clear packing tape can be a fast alternative to more costly (and often missing) lint rollers.
