This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape brand painter’s tape for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Recently I was contacted by Frog Tape and asked to test out their fun new Shape Tape. Of course I said yes. Anything that has to do with a fun new paint product, is always of interest to me. I chose to use the Chevron Shape Tape but it also comes in a wave and a scallop pattern.
I had a lot of different ideas as to how I could use the Shape Tape but ultimately decided to use it on a pillowcase to add some color to my daughter’s room. This project was so easy and so fast…and if you are not a great seamstress…like myself, you can have a fun colorful pillow without having to sew anything.
All you need is to pick your favorite Shape Tape (which can be found at Lowes, Walmart and Menards), fabric paint, white pillow case, and a roller paint brush.
The tape is so easy to use. Simply peel off the TOP section protective covering on the back of the tape first. Place your tape onto the surface you will be painting. Then once you have it where you want it, remove the bottom layer of protective covering and place the lower half of the tape onto the surface. This ensures that your tape will be perfectly placed and makes application of the tape so simple.
Then run your hands over the entire tape to make sure that all the edges are properly sealed. Paint the surface with your fabric paint and the roller making nice and even strokes. Once the paint has dried, you can remove the tape by simply pulling it up and off. To learn more you can watch this…
.
Look at how nice and crisp those paint edges are! I was very impressed with the quality of the tape and how crisp the final product came out. FrogTape® is the only painter’s tape treated with PaintBlock® Technology. PaintBlock is a super-absorbent polymer which reacts with latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed.

Thanks for the tutorial. I see that tape all the time and can never figure out something clever to do with it. I’m off to make a pillowcase! The colors in your daughter’s room are lovely.

Thank you! I really appreciate that! Would love to see pics if you get a chance!
I love the chevron pattern (it’s my favorite). I’d love to put a chevron pattern on my bookshelves. Thanks for the tutorial!!
That sounds like a fun project! I also thought about putting them on the top of my daughters night stand! I still might do it! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I LOVE this bedroom. Seriously gorgeous. I used frog tape for painting walls before but was really disappointed in how much the paint bled onto the trim. The shapes kind seems to have worked perfectly for this project though, I’ll definately have to rethink using the brand now. I didn’t even know they had shape tape but I really wanna try this idea out now :)
Oh no! I hate that! Hope it works out well for you. I really make sure the edges are sealed and run my fingers over it right before I paint!!
I love Frog tape but didn’t know it came in shapes. I have a magnet board that I have wanted to paint a chevron design on. Would this work? I will definitely give it try. Thanks Amy!!
Love this!! I am going to use the chevron tape and do SOMETHING in my son’s room. Not sure what but something :-)
What kind of paint did you use?
I just used craft paint for fabrics found at any craft store.
Hey Amy – I’ve looked around but can’t seem to find it…. Do you know the color of paint on the walls?!? I love that color!
This is a great idea! I didn’t realize frog tape came in all these cool shapes. Endless possibilities!
