NanceXToo Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 DH and DD made wallets out of "Duck Tape" (okay duct tape I guess, but it said Duck Tape on it lol)... I posted a bunch of pics in this blog entry: http://nancextoo.livejournal.com/316433.html Apparently, you can make all sorts of items out of the tape, wallets, headbands and so on.

k2bdeutmeyer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My daughter has made the neatest roses (on the end of a pen or pencil) with duct tape. She also did bows. I was very impressed!! The wallets turned out great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassy Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 They're brilliant! I'm pretty sure DS8 would just love to have a go at making one of those. Can't wait to get started :001_smile:! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Cool! Also, duck and duct are both correct. It was first duck, then duct. After the war, the duck tape product was sold in hardware stores for household repairs. The Melvin A. Anderson Company of Cleveland, Ohio, acquired the rights to the tape in 1950.[12] It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts.[16] Following this application, the name "duct tape" came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork from wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCMom Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) My youngest dd makes her pocket money selling duct tape creations at a flea market. She has cornered that market. :001_smile: She's going to enter the duct/duck tape prom dress competition in 2 years. Those are some amazing dresses!

Word Nerd Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 There's a Kindle freebie that is fairly good intro to making bags with duct tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
