Double Sided Tape

As I was doing some summer cleaning around the house today, I found some old double sided Scotch tape that I used for a school project several years ago.  I bought a lot.  I'm still using it up  9 years later, but I'm afraid the supply is now gone. 

So anyway, while watching The Bachelorette and reading a few blogs, I realized that next year isn't the year to deal with messy bottles of glue.  It was messy this past year.  Well, why not use some tape?  Has anyone tried this before?  I'm thinking it might be worth a try.  If it isn't a good idea then I have 9 more years of tape to use!
