They come in a dispenser. In this case, the dispenser is a plastic device for quickly and conveniently unwinding adhesive tape.

Shiny adhesive tapes with a holographic effect look especially impressive in crafts.
Examples of how my daughter and I used glitter tape in creativity:
- pasted over,
- decorated,
- made from a Kinder Surprise container,
- made other flat and three-dimensional Christmas tree decorations,
- flashlight made from waste material,
- postcards, applique, and much more.
My daughter and I made an applique with koi fish (Japanese carp) and water lilies using leftover scraps of shiny adhesive tape. Just like flower leaves for a postcard. My daughter made the greeting card three-dimensional: inside the card there is a paper step on which an applique with a bush of flowers is glued.

Finally, some interesting information.
How did adhesive tape appear?
The famous brand of duct tape is named after the thrifty nature of the Scots. IN English language The word "scotch" means "Scots", "Scottish", also called whiskey.
In the 20s of the last century in one American company, engaged in the production of sandpaper, as well as the development of new types of cellophane products, worked with Richard Drew.
One day he noticed that in a car repair shop, when painting cars with paints of different colors, the dividing lines between them were sloppy, because For this purpose they used paper, which was then torn off along with the paint.
He suggested using a 5 cm wide tape with glue, which, to save money, was not applied over the entire tape, but only along its edges. But when painting, where the tape was not sticky, it began to warp.
There were stories and legends about Scottish stinginess back then. There is a version that the painter who tested this tape, noticing the savings in glue, said to Richard: “Go to your Scotch boss and tell him to make this Scotch tape more sticky!” From this phrase the name arose - Scotch tape.
Transparent adhesive tape was originally intended for gluing food packaging, but since then a lot has been invented in various ways its application.
"Scotch" is a brand name, not a product name. But in our country, due to the fact that it was the first to appear on the market, any adhesive tape began to be called scotch tape.
