Step One: Choose Decorative Tape

Step Two: Cut the Tape
The first step is to choose a decorative tape that you like. There are so many different designs and colors of washi tape available, making it easy to find a design that matches your personality. Additionally, washi tape is relatively inexpensive and can be found in most craft stores or online.
Step Three: Attach Tape to Paperclip
Once you've selected your washi tape, you can cut it to the desired length. The width of the tape should be slightly larger than the width of the paper clip. However, you can always fold the tape over the paperclip if it's too wide.
Optional Step Four: Add Embellishments
The next step is to attach the tape to the paperclip. Simply wrap the tape around the paperclip, making sure to smooth out any kinks or air bubbles. If you have extra tape, you can fold it over the top of the paperclip to create a more secure hold.
