I have a confession to make. Everything below the fold was done by my 9 year old daughter Sophia. I said that I would do this diary today, and decided it would be fun to write about duct tape accessories that she has been making but got wrapped up in gardening and laundry so she said that she would do it! I need to get her a user id so she can start collecting the mojo. ;)
Enjoy!!
Hi, this is Sophia and I will be telling you a couple things to make with duct tape. The things I will be teaching you how to make are duct tape bows, duct tape rings, duct tape bracelets, and rose duct tape pens. There are a lot more things you can make out of duct tape, to find other things you can go on duckbrand.com.
Here are the materials that will be needed.(and scissors, sorry i forgot to put them in the picture!)
First, I will be teaching you how to make a duct tape bow. The first step for doing the duct tape bow is to cut a 2 inch strip of duct tape (The size may vary depending on what size you want it). Next, you cut that piece of duct tape in half so you have 2 1 inch pieces.
After that, you cut a quarter inch piece of duct tape. (sorry the picture is a little blurry)
Then, you take the 2 1 inch pieces and stick them right on top of each other.
Next, you fold them accordion style. After that, you you take the quarter inch piece and you put it on the middle of the 'accordion' while sliding the tape through the bobby pin so you can put it in your hair.
Next, here is a link to make a
duct tape ring. The bow is optional, I prefer not to.Here is a link for a
duct tape bracelet.Here is a picture of my duct tape ring and bracelet.
Now here is a link to make a
duct tape rose pen.Here's a picture of one I made.
Hope you will try it sometime! Thanks! :-)
