Scotch tape "bracelet buddy"

File this under "Now why didn't I think of this?" I was listening to one of my numerous jewelry channels yesterday. Another viewer suggested using Scotch tape to hold the end of a tennis bracelet to your wrist while hooking it. I have a bracelet buddy from years ago, but it doesn't work that well, so my tennis bracelets don't get worn much.. I just put on three box and tongue tennis bracelets using adhesive tape, the first tape I could find. Super easy.

That's how I've fastened tricky bracelets for as long as I can remember Cool Someone once posted a complicated method involving a paperclip, and I thought, "Nah, tape is 100 times easier than that".

Out of desperation, I started doing this years ago. Works like a charm.

I tear off small strips from a roll of duct tape. I've found it sticks better.

Wow... Another of those things that is so obvious it never occurred to a lot of otherwise intelligent people! Good idea!

I was looking for a mother of the bride dress fretting over showing too much cleavage and the lady looked at me and said, "all you have to do is tape it down with double sided tape". Duh I've never thought or heard of the scotch tape idea...neat!

For yrs, I mean many, many yrs. I always used tape to help clasping my bracelets. When the Bracelet Buddy was introduced, I just rolled my eyes re what a waste of money.
