A tape affixing apparatus for a band-shaped accessory can easily affix a decorative tape to a band-shaped accessory such as a katyusha, a bracelet or a necklace so as to change patterns on the band-shaped accessory variously. The tape affixing apparatus affixes the decorative tape to a band-shaped accessory curved substantially into an arc-like shape and having flexibility. A main body has an insertion port from which the band-shaped accessory can be inserted, a rotational portion which moves the band-shaped accessory inserted in a predetermined direction, and a presser roller which presses vertically the band-shaped accessory inserted together with the rotational portion. The decorative tape is affixed to a surface of the band-shaped accessory by inserting the band-shaped accessory into the insertion port in the main body and rotating the rotational portion.
