Painter’s tape is the new duct tape

By Whitney

You’ve surely heard that duct tape can fix anything: patch a leaking air mattress, hold a dangling headlight in place, and even protect a blister in a pinch. So go ahead and pack it if you’re going camping in the wilderness.

But if your summer travels involve a hotel room or a vacation house, bring along a roll of painter’s tape instead.

5 uses for painter’s tape on vacation

1. Bundle and tape any dangling cords from curtains that might present danger to toddlers.

2. Cover electrical outlets.

3. Apply strips to the inside of a bathtub that’s too slippery.

4. Place an X or two on a clear sliding glass door with which your family is not familiar. I wish I could say I didn’t walk straight into full speed ahead in a sunny hotel room in San Diego, only to watch my nephew do the same thing, even faster, an hour later.

5. And finally, create train tracks or a hopscotch game if your vacation turns rainy and you must pass the hours inside.
