I use ScotchBlue™  for lots of regular projects, like taping up glass.

I also use ScotchBlue™  to make patterns such as a harlequin pattern on this repurposed cupboard door.

I used a LOT of ScotchBlue™  to tape off my (vinyl)  kitchen floor when I painted it.

Did you know you can use ScotchBlue™  to make stencils?

Don’t forget to use ScotchBlue™  when you spray paint!  Here it kept the paint from getting into the “slots”.

ScotchBlue™  definitely prevents over spray!

ScotchBlue™ keeps paint from going where you don’t want it, even if it’s where a drawer belongs.  Paint will cause your drawer to stick, you don’t want paint to stick your drawer do you?

Another spray paint project that got a crisp line with ScotchBlue™ .

A stencil made with my Silhouette, and ScotchBlue™  keeps it all neat and clean!

Some people may not mind scraping paint off of glass, but I find it so quick and easy to tape it off with ScotchBlue™ .

Clamping?  It’s hard to beat ScotchBlue™ for a temporary hold!

When painting a project with two colors you just can get better lines than with ScotchBlue™ .

This post will show you how I got my ScotchBlue™ around the curves.

Seriously, how could I get anything accomplished without ScotchBlue™?

Near the top of my list of favorites is this genius use of ScotchBlue™ . Covering these boards used for clamping kept them from sticking to my project that I was clamping!  Seriously brilliant if you ask me!  Toot Toot!  As jamie would say, that’s me tooting my own horn!

Look, it’s my Fireplace Makeover with ScotchBlue™ bandaids ALL over it!  Because I attached my trim to luan, I couldn’t nail or staple it.  I had to glue it. What better way to hold it without removing the paint than with ScotchBlue™ !!!!  Doesn’t this just make you SMILE!    I love my fireplace!



How about some unconventional uses for ScotchBlue™.  Like mother like daughter—I was telling jamie about this post and she shared these  photos with me! 













Honestly folks, these are not staged!  She sent them to me as soon as we finished our phone conversation.  That girl of mine!  LOL 
From Jamie  “please make sure to stress that these are very temporary solutions and I'm not crazy! :)”

ScotchBlue Brand reached out to me to participate in the ScotchBlue Painting Party to celebrate the launch of their new ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape with Edge-Lock Paint Line Protector. My post represents my honest experience with ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape. I am not being paid for my answers, but I did receive ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape to assist in completion. ( I really love this tape and don’t have any reservations recommending it to you!)

I appreciate you reading my blog in your reader and/or via email. You can reach me at gail@MyRepurposedLife.net
