Made A Necktie Out Of Duct Tape
March 25, 2011 Filed in: Crafts
They say that duct tape fixes everything, but instead of fixing something tonight, I used duct tape to make something. This was a fun project. A few weeks ago, J and I went to Michaels to get a bunch of craft-oriented items, and when it came time for me to pick colors for a duct tape project, there were only two colors that came to mind: orange and black.
Well, Happy Orange Friday, everyone! (Baseball season starts in 6 days.)
Okay, I started with my two colors of tape.
I rolled out two pieces of black tap a little longer than one of my ties and attached them together to make one wide piece.
Then, I did the same thing with the orange tape. The plan was to make a reversible black and orange tie.
I slapped them together.
I placed my tie on top of the tape and traced it.
I cut the tie out of the tape.
From here, I had a functional tie, but I wanted to make a pattern on it. So, I started adding stripes.
I added even more stripes.
Then, I added more stripes to the other end of the tie.
I tied it up and put it on Mr. B.
This project showed me the usefulness of duct tape outside of its ability to fix everything. It makes a wonderful fabric and is for the most part easy to use and fun!
