But back to the good stuff. As I have said before, duct tape is my favorite craft tool and to prove it, I will, yet again, post another duct tape tutorial, this time on bows. These have to be the easiest duct tape craft to do, I have done so many of them that now they take 2-3 minutes each. Soooo easy. Here are the instructions:
1.) Gather your materials
You'll need duct tape
a hair bow or a bobby pin
an X Acto Knife (optional)
scissors (optional)
(Please excuse the cut marks, this is a temporary cutting board, it's awful, I know)
2.) Cut two pieces of duct tape
They should be about 4 inches and they should both be the same size
3.) Fold them both together, sticky sides in
Uh.. ya... That's about it.
4.) Round the Edges
You can use the xacto knives here but I find it easier to use the scissors here.
5.)Pinch
Here you just want to pinch the bottom of the bow right in the middle
so the sides of the bow are even
(I know, I would be a gorgeous hand model)
6.) Fold sides over
Fold the sides over the pinched area giving it a bow shape.
7.) Cut a strip of duct tape
This strip should be about as wide as the pinched portion.
8.) Wrap
Wrap the strip around the pinched portion.
9.) Insert Bobby pin
Flip over the duct tape bow and slide the bobby pin into place
Note: If you want to use a hair tie instead, when you are pinching
the bow, slide the hair bow inbetween one of the sides and
then wrap around the strip.
Voila! You are done :) (and they also come in cute ^puppy sizes)
