Tapes of all shapes can hit the books -- as well as binders, clipboards, and notepads.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Duct tape
Electrical tape Permanent marker Waxed or parchment paper | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: tape | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Stripes Simply stick alternating strips of duct tape across the cover of a loose-leaf binder, overlapping them slightly. |
| 2. | Swirls Unroll some electrical tape (it's slightly elastic, making it the best choice for curves) and press it in place, stretching it to make curves as you stick it down. |
| 3. | Letters and Numbers Use a permanent marker to write block-style numbers and letters on waxed or parchment paper. Keeping the paper right side up (so the letters read correctly), cover the letters and numbers with duct tape, then turn over the paper and cut them out. |
| 4. | 
Shapes Stick pieces of duct tape or electrical tape onto
waxed or parchment paper. Turn over the paper and use a permanent
marker to draw designs, such as our flowers and cacti, on the
back. Cut out the shapes. (We used a hole punch to create our
flower centers.) Peel away the paper and stick your designs in
place. You can also draw on details with permanent marker. |
