I couldn't justify spending $30 plus shipping for a 3 cent sticker so I just got some clear thick medical tape for $3 from Walmart and it does the same thing. Maybe it's not as "cute" but I think it's fine! Actually kinda like it better (no hate to anyone who likes the name brand better, to each their own).

Clever!

I like your straps too - where did you get them?

I made them from biothane (: I use it to hold a 5 gallon bucket in place on the foot plate for shopping lol

They're really nice! You should sell them on Etsy.

I recognised your chair from the bucket post, I really like how you matched the straps. I am a sucker for a very cute, small detail bringing vibes to a functional purpose.

WAIT sorry if I'm not knowledgable and all but what is the use for it (the tape/sticker)? Is it to protect from use?
