Yesterday I stopped by Michael's to buy some construction paper and paint. As I walked past the Halloween displays, I noticed stacks of duct tape of all colors and some with patterns. I am a firm believer in using duct tape because I think it can fix almost anything. It is one of the best products around but I never expected to see this display in the craft store.
As I was standing there, looking at the costumes someone had made with tape, a teenaged girl walked almost past, let out a gasp and picked up a roll of zebra print duck brand tape. I was intrigued. While I was standing there a mom with a couple of pre teen kids stopped by and picked out tape to make their Halloween costumes.
I searched online for duct tape costumes and found a number of wonderful costumes that could be made from duct tape, specifically Duck Brand Tape. It was quite fascinating.
I also found that this company has some great contests. You can have fun decorating a pumpkin and then win $1,000.
You can also make some great decorations.
And the colors and patterns are really remarkable. So much could be done with a zebra or leopard print and there are plenty of colors to choose from.
There were other websites that gave great ideas, too.
There was even a book of costume ideas that can be purchased from Amazon. There was a video, too but it was a bit disturbing. The book looks cute, though.
But not as cute as the website. There were so many creative ideas to use the tape. The rolls of tape are a bit high -- $3.99 each but I don't know how far a roll of tape goes. I guess the price depends on that.
Ducktivites! How creative.
They also sponsor a Prom contest. What a great idea! I saw some prom outfits made from duct tape featured on a morning news program during the spring and I was in awe of their creativity.
So I am right, a little duct tape or even duck tape can fix anything and apparently make clothes, bags, wallets and just about anything, if you use your imagination.
This looks like so much fun! Can't wait to go by & see the display. I love Halloween,
