Woven Mat

Difficulty Level: Medium

You can make this mat out of duct tape, paper, or fabric, and use it as a checkers board or put two together to make a bag. The possibilities are endless!!! All you have to do is get the strips and weave them together This mat was made out of duct tape. I used 10 strips of one color and 10 of the other. Then I took a long strip of tape and stuck the ends of five of each color in a coordinating pattern. I did the same with the other five of each, put two of the ends together at right angles, and began to weave in an under-over pattern. I used tape to hold the ends together on both sides as well. It's pretty easy, but a bit time-consuming to weave all the strips together. Still, the outcome is awesome!

How To Make Duct Tape Bows!

Difficulty Level: Easy

These simple bows are easy and fun to make! All you'll need is duct tape, scissors, and a bobby pin, (optional).

 Begin by cutting off a piece of duct tape about 2-2 1/2 inches long.

 Then cut off another one, slightly bigger than the first.

 Put them on top of one another. They don't have to be perfectly lined up, we're going to fix that soon.

 Trim off the excess tape so that you have straight end with no sticky parts coming off the edges.

 Now fold it in half.

 With your thumb and pointer finger, hold the folded tape at the very edge, across from the two flaps, and fold out the two flaps slightly.

 Push the two flaps completely back and hold it down.

 Use a thin strip of duct tape to hold it together. Congratulations! You've made your first duct tape bow! You can tape on a bobby pin or barrette so that it can go in your hair, or it can be a cool bow tie! Have fun!
