The first time I saw a purse made out of duct tape, I didn't really know what to think. And since then, I've seen wallets, business card holders, purses, jewelry, wall decor, furniture finishing, even artificial flowers, all made out of brightly colored duct tape. I've seen the quality of the crafts improving and the creativity growing. I'm starting to warm up to this new craft material and get excited about what project to start. Thinking outside the box is the essence of arts and crafts, after all.
There are so many examples of fun duct tape projects out there, it is hard to know where to start. So maybe just a Google image search of Duct Tape Crafts if the best way to introduce someone to what cool things there are to do. Surprising how many costumes there are made with duct tape!
Here are a few web page links to find tutorials:
- Duck Brand Tape Ductivities
- Under the Table and Dreaming blog
- HGTV
- Decoist
- Country Woman Magazine
- Michaels Craft Store
As you can see from the variety of tutorial sources, duct tape is the material that is spreading through the arts and crafts world like wild fire. It's urban, it's country, it's for kids and for adults. Expect to keep being surprised what creative people are making with this material. Maybe even surprise yourself with your own project!
