Tapes Edition: Nail Free Dorm Hacks & DIYs

Author: Alessandra Toto Featured Products: UGlu® 600 Dashes Sheets, UGlu® 300 Power Patch, Pro Gaff®, Pro® Pocket Gaff Retail Pack, Pro® Spike Stack, Pro® 46Posted In: Applications, Crafters Corner, Double-sided Tape, Household, How Tos, Tape Tips Related Industries: Graphic Arts & Library Supply

As a recent college graduate and former on campus resident (now renter), I’ve acquired a bunch of great hacks and DIYs over the years on ways to decorate and organize my space like a pro without damaging any walls, furniture, or my wallet!

Working at Pro Tapes® and learning about all of our amazing clean removal products, it had really opened my eyes to so many more ways to achieve the same outcome but with much more ease, and effectiveness. Before I would be using “clean removal” products that actually weren’t so easy to remove. Now that I have been introduced to UGlu®, Pro® 46 and Pro Gaff®; the whole game has changed!

Keep in mind there are two distinct ways I utilized these three Pro Tapes® products; one, tape is being used as the actual decoration, and two, tape is being used as a replacement for hooks, nails, glue or screws.

Shall we jump right into it?
