It is a trend common on college campuses, especially visible in libraries and classrooms: laptop stickers, skins, and decorations. From “JMU” emblems to Greek letters, there is a myriad of options from which to choose. Why not make your laptop decorations completely unique?
Washi tape, a thin yet durable Japanese craft tape, has been popping up on Pinterest and craft blogs lately. It is sold at major craft stores and online sites such as Etsy, and is an inexpensive decoration option. The strips of tape can be cut into perfect keyboard-sized squares and placed over the letters, creating a colorful look.. Even better, the tape is commonly found with designs like stripes and polka dots, so you can mix patterns!
