For the artistic type who can't afford a decent frame for their piece of work, the Curator Tape is the cheaper option. It's basically a [decorative adhesive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seal-draft-and-insulation) that will bring some life to whatever it's being stuck on. The design is a [gold gilded frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-it) that'll put a bit of pizazz on a doodle that was drawn in a notebook during a boring lecture. There's 25 meters of tape in total, so there's plenty to go around! While the Curator Tape isn't a real frame, at least it'll give your [napkin doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface) a fighting chance to shine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Decorative Adhesives:** The trend of decorative adhesives offers disruptive innovation opportunities for artists and designers to add creative flair to their work without the need for traditional frames. - **Affordable Alternatives:** The trend of affordable alternatives provides disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses to offer cost-effective solutions to consumers who may not be able to afford traditional products. - **DIY Aesthetics:** The trend of DIY aesthetics opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for individuals to personalize and enhance their creative projects using accessible and customizable materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Supplies:** The art supplies industry can capitalize on the trend of decorative adhesives by developing and marketing innovative adhesive products that cater to the needs of artists and designers. - **Craft and Hobby:** The craft and hobby industry can leverage the trend of affordable alternatives by offering budget-friendly alternatives to traditional framing solutions. - **Stationery and Office Supplies:** The stationery and office supplies industry can tap into the trend of DIY aesthetics by offering a wide range of customizable materials and tools for individuals to express their creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edible Food-Safe Adhesives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastee-tape.md) - [Clamping Stationery Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peleg-design-clamptape.md) - [Customizable Gallery Wall Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibit-wall-picture-frames.md) - [Modular Marble Photo Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memorable-picture-frame.md) - [AI-Powered Color E-Ink Art Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-ai-art-frame.md) - [Immersive Tablet Picture Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iframix-smart-frame.md) - [Picture Framing Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-it.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Frameable Device Screenshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framous.md)
