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??

Duct Tape Halloween Costumes

It’s that time of year… breakout the superhero masks!  I recently made this fun and easy duct tape craft for my kids.  They were attending a birthday party and had to dress as superheros.  The best way to find the perfectly matching mask is to make one yourself.  Stay tuned for more kids masks patterns, coming soon!  I’d love to hear your ideas!

Superhero Arm Bands

Checkout another idea for Superhero Arm Bands.  My friend Lisa made these sparkling cool wrist cuffs for her little Superhero Easton using toilet paper rolls wrapped in shiny gold duct tape.  She also added elastic for adjustable easy on and off.

Whether it’s duct tape masks or duct tape arm band, these are the perfect durable duct tape crafts for dress up, duct tape Halloween costumes, and all kinds of kids fun!

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!

Die Cut – Name That Shape

I love this… but what the heck do you call it??  How would you describe this shape… is it filigree… scroll… or that swirly thingy (the official technical term)?

I’ve recently added DUCT TAPE DIE CUT shapes to my Etsy shop so that everyone can take crafting to their own level.  I’d love to see what you come up with.  With all the new cell phone cases and electronic devices, of course we all want to personalize our stuff to make it more of our own and to express who we are!  What better way to do that than with super-durable-comes-in-every-color DUCT TAPE!!

 

Tell me your ideas and what you would like to decorate with this frilly die cut… and gosh darnit, tell me what the dang nabbit to call it!!!! 🙂

Don’t Forget the Groomsmen Gifts!

Share

I love the idea of giving uniquely personalized GROOMSMEN gifts!  And not just with an initial for their name.  Why not highlight their heritage or support their favorite sports team?  I can do flags, NFL teams, College teams, or any color or pattern you wish (maybe one with a moustache or even bacon on the front!).  They have come up with all kinds of great new duct tape and I’m happy to design one that is as unique as each of your groomsmen.

I’d love to hear what other people have given for their grooms or groomsmen gifts.  I gave my husband a helicopter ornament for our wedding.  He said he wanted to learn how to fly and I told him it was the most dangerous thing ever… but that I would support his dreams no matter what.  Needless to say, he has never taken flying lessons!
