I made a duct tape FE

[ksloane]

The Mickey heads are wall decals I ordered off of ebay.

Thanks.....

Another question...How many rolls did you use of the red and white? I'm assuming one of the zebra print? We are going shopping this afternoon to look at what types of duct tape we can find in various stores....


So where has everyone seen designed duct tape?

I know I've seen it at

Lowes
Staples
Hobby Lobby

Any other ideas?

I didnt' use a full roll of any of them, one roll of each will definately be fine. I bought them at AC Moore. I'm sure Michaels has them also.

Target is also starting to carry varieties of duct tape!

That is awesome! I was just going to buy one, but this may just have inspired me...

That looks great. My ds 11 makes wallets and flower pens all the time with duck tape. Yesterday he decided to make sandals for himself and me. They turned out very good although we won't have any use for them until spring. It's amazing how many different colors and patters of duck tape are available now.

Bought some of our duct tape tonight at Hobby Lobby...found it cheaper at Staples for future shoppers (I did not take mine back though as I was tired) and ordered a roll that we couldn't find in any stores from Amazon. Have 2 day shipping so we should be starting in the next week.....

Ok....so our Amazon order arrived today with our pirate tape so we almost completed our FE! I had to share....

We are going to add our names on the green "stripes" on the top of the pockets, and we're thinking of looking for stickers or something to turn the Mickey into a pirate....

So without further adieu

Seriously, does duct tape come in colors now?

 

[RedSox68]

Yes....duct tape now comes in amazing colors and patterns....I'm just waiting on them to actually start making Disney duct tape.

Thanks...I am so pleased with how it turned out overall.... We have it hanging in the living room, and it might just hang there until it's time to pack it in June because I love looking at it..

My daughter decided that she is going to make a matching purse to carry her stuff around on board...

Wow it turned out great I don't sew but Duct tape I think I can do.

Very cool! How did you do your pockets? Measurements??? Or just eye-balled it? Love that pirate tape!!

I used a paper bag from the grocery store to cut out the size I wanted. Then we covered it front and back in the tape.

Then we folded the edges in to make the opening so the pockets would be a little deeper. I taped down both sides on the edge that is actually on the back, and then across the bottom. I used 2 pieces on each edge and the bottom on top of each other just to give it a little more stability....


Yea...I just used paper at first to lay out and plan and then made it to the size of the paper....I can measure it this evening though and let you know if you want.


The pirate tape came from Amazon...we looked all over locally and could not find anyone that stocks it.....

Just wanted to add that I was in Tractor Supply Co. this weekend to pick up animal feed for our farm & they had a huge bin of patterned duct tape in the front of the store right as you walk in the door.

DS can't wait to make one of these for our April cruise!
