Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments 11

Share

Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments… #11.  This one might be my new favorite.  I love how it turned out.  I used all green almond shaped duct tape pieces as a base and then added two of my filigree duct tape die cuts in red.  It’s a perfect fit and just looks cool spiral scrolly all over… I love it!

I really want to do a whole tree in variations of this ornament.  I also love the idea of adding my filigree duct tape die cut to any old ball ornament for a fun makeover!

Tell me what colors you’d like to see this in.  Stay tuned for one more day of Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments.  Tomorrow I’m giving away a free pattern.

Snowy and Glimmery!  This was actually the first duct tape Christmas ornaments I made using oval cutouts I had leftover.  I love how it looks like feathers.

I love this color combination, but I’m not sold on the pattern.  I think it needs more silver, but I’m not sure where.  Tell me your ideas.

Duct Tape Turkey

Another unique and elegant use for scallop circle duct tape die cuts… Turkey Place Cards!  I’m always trying to find fun ways to add turkey details to my Thanksgiving table.

I cut the gold scallop circle die cuts into quarters and used them as the tail feathers.  Then I cut a circle out of brown duct tape and a pointed oval shape out of silver duct tape for the head.  What I love about duct tape crafts is how easy they are to peel off and stick anywhere, not to mention the shiny effect for a little glamour in every occasion.

This one might be my favorite.  I cut strips of duct tape into rounded half-ovals and taped them to a paper cone.  It kind of looks like owl feathers.  Very autumny and woodlandy… I love it!

Elegant Glow in the Dark – Stick or Treat

Share

Here it is!!  My entry is in!!  I’ve entered these fun glow in the dark duct tape pumpkins in the Duck Brand Stick or Treat Halloween duct tape crafts contest.  Tell me what you think!

Would you make this for your home?  I used my filigree duct tape die cuts in glow in the dark duct tape (yes, they have that now!).  Duck Brand duct tapes also now come in little duct tape mini rolls that are thinner and easier to work with for more detailed projects.  The glow in the dark comes in the mini roll too.  I used this for my glow in the dark chevron pumpkin, which is kind of my new favorite!

I’m still working on getting a good night picture to show them glowing in the dark.  I think I can get them to glow better if they were in more direct sun, but they are on a north facing entry way that sees a lot of shade throughout the day.  I’d love to hear any suggestions on this!

What would you make with Glow in the Dark duct tape??

Another fun use for duct tape die cuts!  My twins just turned 2!  I can’t believe it!  I love home made party decorations and I love how these turned out.  I bought these inexpensive pennant banners in coordinating colors and then attached my easy stick scallop circle die cuts in coordinating colored duct tape.  Then I layered on rhinestone letters for my sparkly girl and gunmetal pirate letters for my handsome boy!  A great fun easy way to make personalized party decorations for any occasion!

I’d love to hear from you!   Tell me what party decorations you’ve made or semi-homemade!

Duct Tape Crafts – Die Cut Use #2

The long awaited use #2 for Scalloped Circle Duct Tape Die Cuts is here.  This is a great way to give a special personalized gift for someone.  I love to journal and I love duct tape crafts.  I also love to give journals as a gift.  They come in all kinds of cool colors, designs, and styles.  The perfect gift for that perfect someone.  Now, with a simple sticky on duct tape die cut, in the color of your choice (zebra perhaps), your store bought journal gift can look like it was made just for the recipient.  Add a little rhinestone initial (you know I’m a fan of the bling) and it becomes a sparkly elegant gift to love everyday!
