duck tape crafts




DUCK TAPE ROSE:

  • First you need your basic materials: Your favorite duck tape, a wire pipe cleaner or pen (just something to use as a stem), scissors and a ruler are optional.
  • Second wrap your stem in green (or any color) duck tape.
  • Third you start with a 2 by 2 inch piece of tape.  It doesn't have to be perfect.   
  • Then fold that piece as a triangle and leave some adhesive on both sides.  
  • Take the right side and fold it to the left as a triangle again and leave some adhesive on the bottom only.
  • After you want to take it and wrap it all the way around your stem. Its kinda like the bud of your rose.          
 

  • Take steps three and four and make three more petals. Then start wrapping them around the bud. By now you should have four petals wrapped around each other.
                                                                                                      
  • Next you want to make another petal and stick your finger in the middle of the petal to make it bulge out.Make three more of these same petals.
                                                                                                        
  • Now gently start putting petals all around those till it looks like a beautiful rose.
                                                                                      












    • There are so many different colors of duck tape that you don't have to do one solid color, like the pictures above. Also I used a wire, put a rose on it and wrapped it around a flip flop (you can also wrap it on laces or hot glue it on heels or flats).
