Personalize Your Tech Gear with Washi Tape - Personalized External Hard Drive

I like an eclectic desk. I tend to use items to store things like note cards or pens that weren't necessarily designed for that purpose. I also want the items that sit on my desk for any length of time to be aesthetically pleasing to my eye. As a writer I have to sit at my desk a lot. Having cool things to look at I find helps to boost the creative in me. I also discovered when I get creative in other ways like crafting my overall creativity is given a boost (as if I needed a reason to craft.)My external hard drive was smooth and sleek but pretty boring until I decided to give it a makeover with some washi tape.Washi tape is a great way to personalize your tech gear or even to remake home decor accessories or every day items like candles (see photo below), jars, boxes etc.This of course isn't the fist time I've spruced up my tech gear. I gave my MacBook a boost using a lap top cover and some decoupage, because I didn't want to do anything physically to my actual laptop. You check out my DIY Decoupage Laptop Cover post to find out how.To create this personalized external hard drive I simply grabbed three types of coordinating washi tape and lined them up. I didn't even use scissors as I knew I'd cover the torn edges - though it looked pretty cool that way too. How intricate your design is will be totally up to you. The sky is the limit.
