Wallet Fixing

DSC03729 My old wallet, not leather, recently began to lose its plastic coating, and I quite like its ID holder, so:

DSC03731 I fixed it with black duct tape.

The plant is rosemary, according to its label.  It looks different from other rosemary which I have seen around here.   The rosemary which I have usually seen looks more like an evergreen tree, and grows quite large.

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.

DSC03592DSC03594 I love the new craft medium of duck (duct) tape.  I covered the oatmeal canister with black tape at the bottom, dotted tape in the middle, and red tape at the top in order to make a small waste basket.

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.
