Duck (Duct) Tape

Here is a new craft medium!  Duck tape, also known as duct tape, now exists in a variety of colors and patterns.

DSC03594 The required amount of tape cost about $0.85.  This was ten inches by sixteen inches or 160 square inches.

DSC03625 Using green and a greenish multicolored tape over a small styrofoam tray, I made a little desk tray, for less than $0.60.  It looks good in the desk.

I got the tapes on Amazon.  The solid colors come with five square feet to the roll, 10 yards long, and two inches wide.  The printed design tapes have 1 2/3 square feet, and come in 10 foot lengths, two inches wide. Altogether I got 70 square feet for about $0.75 per square foot.

  •  The results are enjoyable.
  • The work goes quickly.
