Duct Tape Crafts Die Cut Use #1

Share

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Challenge Accepted!!!  I am challenging myself to find 101 uses for my Scalloped Circle Duct Tape Die Cuts!  Here is Use #1!

SO, I DROPPED my brand new cell phone!  Grrrr!  I was on my way to the splash pad with the twins and my perfectly new cell phone fell out of the stroller!  Sadly, but thankfully, only the back cracked and shattered.  I think I’ve been leaving little bits of plastic shards all over the place.  I tried to replace it with our warranty, but the phone is so new it is apparently on back order.

SO, handy dandy crafty girl to the rescue!  I simply attached one of my easy-to-peel-off precisely cut scalloped circle die cuts in gorgeously teal duct tape to the back of my phone, directly over the worst part of the cracked plastic… and TA DA… cell phone fixed!  At least for the time being until my phone is no longer on back order… And it even looks pretty and makes me happy too!  Every girl should wake up to a little bling rhinestone initial on her cell phone!!

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!

How to Make a Duct Tape Wallet

Share

 

I love to craft!!!  And I know other people love to craft!  I decided to share one of my patterns for the men’s style bifold duct tape wallets so that other crafters could learn how to make a duct tape wallet too.  The best part of crafting is adding your own personalized touches to each project.  That’s what I love most!  This is a clean cut design that helps minimize sticky edges.  In this downloadable PDF, I share my tried and true tips and tricks I have acquired over the years in making this design.  I use scissors only because I have little ones in my house and I don’t like the idea of using razor blades or exact o knives.

Check back in for additional patterns I will be adding soon for my women’s wallets and business card holders.  As always, I love custom orders and would love to dissect any duct tape project and break it down into a pattern for all to enjoy.
