Craft Lab: Duct Tape

http://librarymakers.blogspot.com/2013/08/craft-lab-duct-tape.html
Duct tape:  it's not just for ducts any more!

Project:  assorted Duct Tape crafts
Supplies:
Duct tape (as wide a variety as you can afford)
scissors
rulers
cardboard (empty duct tape rolls from previous duct tape events were popular today!)

What we did:
1.  Learn to make duct tape "fabric" by lining up a bunch of strips of duct tape, sticky side up and overlapping slightly.  Then, apply more duct tape (sticky side down) on top of that layer with the tape running perpendicular to the original strips of tape.

 Or.... just stick tape directly to your iPod cover.

 We made:  wallets and bracelets (just covered empty cardboard duct tape rolls with tape)
 Bowties
 And mini iPhone bows
 And of course... a few Tardis's  (or is it Tardi?)
