Prepare the surface by ensuring it's clean and dry.

Cut the masking tape to the desired length, apply it smoothly and evenly, pressing firmly to prevent paint bleed-through.

Remove the tape gently while the paint is still tacky for clean edges.

Masking tape is versatile and can be used creatively for various purposes beyond its typical applications:

1. Labeling: Temporarily labeling items or organizing boxes and containers.
2. Crafts: Creating geometric designs or patterns, making stencils, or securing materials during crafting projects.
3. Home Repairs: Temporary fixes like sealing minor leaks, securing loose items, or protecting surfaces during renovations.
