Metal Tape Art – How to transform everyday household items in a few easy steps
Metal tape art ideas for complete beginners!
Working with metal tape is one of my absolute favourite past times! It is very affordable, readily available from most hardware stores and offers endless creative possibilities.
It is a great activity for kids and adults alike. I am always blown away by what the kiddos create with this medium, and it keeps them busy for hours on end!
What is Metal Tape?
The metal tape that we use for this craft, is a self-adhesive aluminium tape, found in most local hardware stores, or from our shop.
Aluminium tape is normally used for shielding and insulation, and it provides an excellent barrier to vapour and conforms to irregular surfaces. This makes it perfect for applying it to paper mache moulds, gift boxes, tins, cards and more!

My 9-year old son and I took full advantage of the Covid-19 Lockdown time together, and used our first rainy day to upcycle a paper mache deer head, that has been lying in my studio for ages!
We decided to record our process and we’d love to share the step-by-step video with you here, so you can learn how to do this yourself.
