Wrap a piece of ribbon (you'll need about 1 yard) around the ringand secure the ends with a glue gun.
When I've finished off the tape (usually during the holiday season after wrapping so many presents), this is all that's left.
Once a blah, now a Tada!: I removed the empty rings and replaced them with different kinds of tape that I regularly use, such as masking tape, floral tape and double-sided tape. I would also use these for electrical tape and tape with pretty prints (a whimsical way to seal a package). This makes cutting tape so much easier and doesn't leave any sticky stuff on a pair of scissors!
As I've shown you this week on blah to Tada!, it's a good idea to save the cardboard carriers that hold those beer bottles and re-purpose them by the dressing them up with wrapping paper. Just by doing that, we turned a plain carrier into a picnic caddy, an art station, a knitting project carrier and a party centerpiece! Here's another one to add to the list:
You'll find something like it in the supermarket nestled with soda, beer and even ready-to-drink coffee. It's easy to recycle because it's sturdy and has several compartments that's useful for organization projects.
