Duck....Duck...Tape!!!!

Duct Tape. The poor, but crafty, person's best friend. A versatile tape that people have used to create prom dresses, boats that really float, and fix the everyday little problems that life throws at them. But today, I am going to use it to teach you how to make a handy dandy keepsake box. Or accessories box. Or whatever you need a fancy box for!

Materials needed:

• A roll of your favored color of duct tape
• One old shoebox
• scissors (duh)

steps to take to create:

1.   Put the beginning of duct tape inside of the lid and pull roll till you think it enough tape to cover the area you are about to put the tape on. Before cutting, make sure that the tape is lined up perfectly with the edge of the lid and press the tape down on the surface. Now you can cut the tape. If you haven't already messed up, tuck the remaining tape into the inside part of the lid.

 2.   continue step one till you have reached the the other side of the lid. If you are using a type of print for duct tape and you have a small case of OCD like me, try to overlay the duct tape so that it blends into the shape that it is meant to be.

3.     Now for the lid sides! For me, I only needed one strip to cover the side of the lid. Make sure before you lay down your strip that there is about an inch hanging over both ends of side. Once you have pressed the side, cut the remaining side thingys. If there is still a tiny bit left, go head and press them down. They are hardly nocticably.

4.    Covering the sides of the box is pretty much the same as the lid. Take a strip of duct tape and make it look extremely fancy. For my box, I didn't cover the sides because I like purple(if you couldn't tell from my bed). There you have it! Your very own duct tape box! Pretty simple, huh?

I am gonna use it for all of my tighties:)
