Duck Tape Clutch/Wallet

 Hello Bloggers!


Today I'am going to be posting about how to create a quick and easy clutch made from a duct tape.


Materials
2 Colored Duct tapes
Scissors
Hook and loop Fastener (OPTIONAL)



Steps
1.  Make a 7 1/2" X 11 1/2" double-sided sheet (Wallenfang, 44), with a colored tape. Cover the edges with second tape.
2. Bill Holder: Make a 7 1/2" X 3" double sided Sheet; tape to the clutch inside.
3. Card Pockets: Make a 20" Double-sided tape strip ( Wallenfang, 7). Cut 6 Pockets and cover the Edges.
4. Tape the pockets together; tape each  pocket separately.
5. Tape the Pockets in place
6. Fold the clutch in thirds and add the hook and loop fastener ( OPTIONAL)

What kind of combinations have you made in a craft? if so how did it turn out?

Mini Banner

Hi bloggers! I hope you're enjoying your last days of winter break. For my last blog this month i will be creating a mini banner you can use for your locker or as accessory to your room.

Materials:

• colored duct tape ( 1 or more)
• 1/8 inch wide ribbon or string
• scissors
• permanent marker or paint pen                                                                                                                                         

First gather all the materials, then make and offset double side strip (Wallenfang, 7). Make sure the tape is four and half inches long (Wallenfang, 26)

                                                                                  

The second step is to trim away the 1/2 inch sticky side that's up, then fold over and stick the sticky side that's down to create the ribbon tunnel (Wallenfang, 26).                                                                                                                             

Third step; trim the pennant shape with scissors.

Repeat all three steps for the next pennants ( depending on what letters you want to put on the banner).

Fourth and final step, thread the pennants onto the ribbon/string; add the letters with a paint pen* in my case i'll be using a black sharpie* (Wallenfang, 26).

What kind of changes/alterations have you made in a craft work? if so were you successful?

To start of use your standard size Duct Tape to tape a row across the top of your zip-lock bag right under the  plastic top.

Turn your bag over and wrap both sides over to cover both sides of the plastic bag.
