DIY Duct Tape Bows :)



As many of you have already realised, I love making duct tape bows! they are so easy and fun! They take less than 1 min and can be used for so many things! So I thought it was about time I shared with all of you lovely people how to make them! :)



Okay so here's how you make them. :)



  1.  Pick out what color/ pattern of duct tape you would like. Then tear off a strip about 6 inches long, depending on how big you want your bows to be.







2.   Next fold you strip of tape in half. WARNING duct tape is TAPE so it sticks to itself! Make sure you are going to fold it how you want it (so you don't see any of the sticky side ) because once you fold it there's no going back.






3.   Now you're going to take that piece and fold it in half again (hot dog way :] )







4.  Then take the part you just folded and fold over the two flaps back toward the crease of the fold you just made.







5.   Okay that was the hardest part, congrats for making it through it ;) Now cut or tear a small piece of duct tape off the same roll you used for the bow.
(The pens there to help you get an idea of how big it should be.)




6. Then take that small piece and wrap it around where you folded your bow.






AND.........you're done!! Now all you have to do is decided how to use them! Or of course just sit and enjoy them :)
