Soo.. anyone else addicted to duct tape? I started out making Andy a wallet following a youtube video last weekend.. Which turned out so well, I wanted more.. So I made a ladies wallet for me. Then that wasn't enough, so I made ANOTHER one better and with my own designs (of course I never follow the pack!). Yesterday my friends loved it so much they want me to make them stuff too. I made one of them a sunglasses case and I need to make another for the other friend, also tissue cases, and today I started work on a handbag for myself. The ONLY problem, is finding time to do it all! I am having so much fun, it appeals to my creative side, duct tape is cheap (well as long as you don't buy hundreds of rolls (oops)) and you can make so much stuff... A few pics... Sunglasses case My friend specifically chose that colour.. My wallet Inside and my best so far, I think. My handbag - Made with fablon and duct tape. The outside is Fablon, so that I don't have lines. The inside.. is all duct tape LOL.. Apologies for my messy worktop! My kitchen has the best light at night.

I love tape!!! - all kinds of tape! You can do almost everything with tape. My family always laugh at me and my tape ! I have never seen these kinds of art before, but as you can imagine; I cannot wait to make such things too. I love the items yes yes! It is a surprise for me that you have so many colours in duct-tape. I know only the black duct?

I honestly never knew you could do so much with duct tape. People are always saying that it fixes everything I suppose But that is really cool, especially the bag!

So many colours Anita. Look on youtube, there are loads of videos.. Also Amazon for the tape. I can find it cheaper locally, which helps, £3 for a 10M roll. Not a huge amount when you are covering a large area, I used all my pink for the inside of the bag.. but I made pockets inside, and you make duct tape 'fabric' by sticking two bits together, or much more. It's totally addictive LOL. Particularly for someone like me, who has to buy a new bag every other month! I am kind of addicted to handbags too.. LOL.. so this helps (or.. maybe not LOL, that addiction).

Wow! I had no idea about this, didn't even know there are other duct tapes than black and grey. I'm not good with tape, but I've got to try and make something. I love your wallet, so pretty, and the bag wow! Help!! I can't stop watching videos

Made something new..
Anyone recognise the design on the front? It's not big.. a little cross body bag.. lined with real butterfly fabric. A butterfly bag. And I made a little something to hang on my handbag.
Anyone want something made for them?

The butterfly bag is great, so MX! Good luck making the duct Chris I'm so excited about this, but I'm not allowed to buy ANYTHING before I actually have the time to make something. Tomorrow will be a challenge since I'll be in the city, close to the crafts shops

That's really cool! Duct tape is the most durable thing. I have a duct tape wallet that's lasted for 4 years so far and it hasn't fallen apart
