Day 22- 2 Cricut Flowers Clip 344 Days Left

I decided to make Duct Tape Sheets to pass through the Cricut.  I used Cricut Cartridge Pagoda and Flower 8 from the set. I decided to try using a glue gun to put the flowers on the clip. I have used super glue before but some of my creations have fallen off the clip since glued. My true test will be to send this completed Flower Clip on one of the girls to school tomorrow.

Day 21- Butterfly Cuff 345 Days Left

I saw a cuff bracelet made out of Duct Tape on Etsy.com. I often look for Duct Tape inspirartion on Etsy. The Duct Tape butterfly piece is 10 inches long with the back having 2 pieces of purple Duct Tape stuck lengthwise and folded back towards the from to make purple edges. The blue strip of Duct tape in the middle is 6 ½ inches long with another blue piece on the inside that is 8 inches long. The inner blue piece over laps slightly to be able to have a Velcro closure.

I layer the short blue piece on top of the long blue piece with about an inch left out at each side of the longer blue piece. Then I measured 6 holes to punch out that I would sew ribbon through.


I then took the large butterfly and purple piece and punched 6 holes in it of equal distance to cause the cuff to gather. After the Velcro was added for a closure.


Day 20- Peace Sign Hair Flower 346 Days Left

I wanted to make a flower hairclip to match a Duct Tape Hair band I made awhile back. This flower was made of 5 pieces of Duct Tape folded back in on it's self, much like you would make a simple bracelet. The middles were then glued down and then glued across the piece on the bottom, rotating the pieces in to fill in the holes. This would make a nice set for a girl’s birthday present.

Day 19- Zebra Hair Bow 347 Days Left

I found a fuzzy pink hair bow among Samantha and Sabrina's hair collection. I thought I would try to copy this one with Duct Tape. If I make it again it would be on a bigger clip.  The Duct Tape had to be cut very narrow to make this bow.
