Duck Tape Ideas

12:25 PM

So, here is my latest project. I've been Duck taping!

I love the way the duck tape spruces things up.

I even covered my flash drive!

The ideas are endless on what you can do with duck tape. Page protectors, punch holes in the sides where the holes were before. Instant coolness!

The cheap folders that don't have holes in the edges, extend the duck tape past the edge and punch holes in it. Or just cover it like I did.

Put it on notebook edges or on paper to reinforce the holes.

Hope you like the post.

                               My First Run
                                                                       ( I walked it) :)

We went to Ihop afterward at 11:00 pm. My cousin couldn't take anymore. :) We went in all decked out in our glow and neon stuff. The looks we got!:)

The race was hosted by my aunt's church. It might become an annual thing! It was a fundraiser for One by One Missions, for the children of Nicaragua.

I had a wonderful time. Maybe next year I will run in it. ;)

light ball diy

10:01 PM

These light balls are gorgeous in the dark. They're easy too make too!

What u need:

Ribbon, scissors, tape( I used white ducked tape), tulle, any type of sparkly/iridescent clear material.(I used iridescent paper ribbon.), a battery powered light strand.(I got mine from The Christmas Tree Shop.) it can't be the regular Christmas lights. They are too big and bulky. The ones I used are wire with the lights just barely sticking off .

Start by cutting a few pieces of tape. Unless u have help it is difficult to cut these later. :)

The battery box is the base and the weight. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE BATTERIES IN BEFORE U START!

Loosely make loops with wire and tape them on the box.

Cut the tulle and iridescent material into rectangles.

Next start tapping them to the box. Be careful not to mash the lights. Use the ribbon and tie it around the middle. Use it instead of the tape on some of them it gives you less bulk in the middle.

Make sure to leave the ribbon long on one side. That is what u hang it by. Add as much tulle and paper ribbon as u need to make it as fluffy and full as u like.
