Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments 8

Share

Just a small variation from yesterday’s Winter Wonderland, today’s duct tape Christmas ornament features my lattice duct tape die cuts.  Still using the small almond shape pieces all over in white, I added the lattice duct tape die cut (cut in half) in shiny silver to the center perimeter of the sphere.  I love modern looking geometric shapes and I’d love to try this in different colors.

I’m discovering that I only think in two color combinations for Christmas.  What are your favorite combinations?  I love the idea of non-traditional colors like pink and blue, but I have a hard time pulling them off.  I’m very curious how people decorate their tree and home.  Share your ideas here.

As always, contact me for more details on this and other duct tape holiday crafts.  Join me tomorrow for a new take on the Christmas ball ornament as we continue our Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments!

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.

Can you believe all the duct tape they have for sports teams?  I’m not really a sports fan, but I would be so excited if I were, especially every time I saw a new sports team logo in coordinating team colors on duct tape!  Oh the possibilities!

Here’s #6 duct tape ornaments in my Twelve Days of Duct Tape Christmas Ornaments.  An FSU football jersey… the perfect size and easy to make.

I’d love to design one for your favorite team.  What sports teams do you love and how would you use duct tape to decorate or make gifts for Christmas?  I love duct tape holiday crafts and making memories over a project with family!

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!

Duct Tape Picture Frame

Make this quick and easy duct tape picture frame to display your kids art work.  I took an inexpensive plastic display frame and added my favorite black and white damask duct tape around the edges.  I even made mitered corners to make it look like a real picture frame.  I love this instant makeover and a fun way to change out different display pieces.  I can put in a picture or show off the latest Jackson Pollock from my two year olds!

Here’s to many more days of coloring outside of the lines!

Duct Tape Crafts Tree Center Piece

Share

 

Decorating for the holidays is a great way to add personal touches to your home!  I will be sharing easy and fun duct tape crafts to decorate for the holidays.  Starting with this fall themed duct tape tree in shiny yellow.  The great thing about duct tape is that it’s sturdy, durable, easy to work with, and comes in lots of colors and patterns.  I just made a simple cone shape out of regular printer paper.  I then cut pieces of duct tape and placed them around the paper cone.  I then tied a pretty fall ribbon around the tree to finish it off.

Think about the possibilities for this with different colors and patterns of duct tape.  This would also make a great gift for Christmas or a hostess gift.  If you’re not bringing the turkey or green bean casserole, bring this fun and easy duct tape crafts tree to the Thanksgiving table this year.  I’d love to make one for you.  Check my shop for custom orders!
