DIY Halloween Balloons with Black Electrical Tape

Okay, so black electrical tape has become one of my fav go-to crafty materials lately. You may have seen the striped boxes I create for my office here? Well, I was so inspired, that I decided to spook-up my Halloween party balloons using black electrical tape! 

They are perfect as party decorations, but also make fun photo booths or even as part of a funky costume.

On Pinterest I saw someone using a black sharpie to draw on their balloons. But when I tried it, I just couldn't get the drawings to be opaque enough.

So I thought of vinyl. Then I quickly changed my mind because I so didn't fancy getting my Silhouette out just to cut a few strips. Plus, I didn't really have any black vinyl at home, which is a major bummer when you intend on cutting vinyl...

So basically, what I'm trying to tell you here is that black electrical is a fabulous, easy substitute for vinyl when you're too lazy or can't be bothered to order some.

Which by default, also makes it a great kid-friendly material to craft with AND super inexpensive! Do you love black electrical tape yet?! You totally should! ;)
