Yesterday after seeing the hair bow I made for Sabrina (my younger daughter); Samantha (my older daughter) wanted one as well. She wanted a hair bow out of the skull Duct Tape I bought at Wal-Mart. I did not want to make 2 hair bows in a row, so I chose instead to make a hair band.
The hair band form came from Michaels and I only ever saw 2 forms at the store. I asked the manager about the forms, he did some research and the hair band forms are a seasonal item. Too bad, I really like the forms and I haven’t been able to find any that are wide like the one’s I bought at Michaels. I hope the Skull Duct Tape is not a seasonal item too!
I covered the hair band width with individual pieces. At first I thought I could use one long piece but that didn’t work since the hair band tapes off and rounds out on both ends.
Something I picked up since working with Duct Tape is that it is easier to cut the tape with the scissors upside down. The scissors become less sticky that way. I don’t like to rip the tape, I like smooth edges

| Easiest way to know the scissors are upsidedown is your thumb goes through the bigger loop |
Interesting tip about the scissors, who would have thought! I love Sam's t-shirt too!
