Move beyond the wallet with an inspiring collection of exciting duct tape projects!
Sturdy and resistant, and with a myriad of interesting colors and patterns, duct tape is fast becoming a perfect crafting, home and DIY material.
Duct Tape introduces the simple but versatile material and offers 101 creative projects to make. Each project is fully illustrated and contains easy-to-follow instructions for creating inexpensive craft projects of the utmost quality and aesthetic.
The Tape Guy, Forest Walker Davis, helps you to create more than mere embellishments! Try making frames, bags, flowers, clothes and bow ties. These projects are just the beginning. Durable and safe to use almost anywhere, Duct Tape projects are great fun for crafters of any age!


My thoughts;

What a great book for kids and adults.  So many different crafts that can be made from duct tape.  I never knew how much fun it would be to create so many different things from duct tape until this book. 
Each duct tape craft in this book is very colorful and has the easy instructions with it on the same page.

My daughter and I have spent hours making all kinds of things from this book.  She has even made earrings for her friends birthday.  I loved making the duct tape flowers.  There are many different flowers to be made out of this book.  The wallets, beach bag and hair bow are a few crafts that we have made from this book.

This book will remain in our home for many years.  My daughter has even planned on having a sleep over duct tape craft making party.

This looks like a neat book! I have never tried to make anything out of duct tape, but everyone else in the family is crafty except me. The kids would probably love this!
