MAKE A DUCK® TAPE FABRIC

Step 1: Make a duct tape swatch of "fabric" that is seven inches long by four strips wide. To do this, simply:

  1. Lay a strip of duct tape sticky side up on your work surface and place a second strip sticky side up so it slightly overlaps the edge of the first strip. Repeat until you have four strips of duct tape overlapping
  2. Turn the sheet so the sticky-side-up strips run vertically and lay a strip sticky side down over the sheet. Repeat with additional strips of duct tape until the sticky sides are covered. Don't forget to overlap the edges.
  3. Trim off edges.

Note: Duct tape fabric can be made to any size. For illustration purposes, we showed a small piece of duct tape fabric under contruction. Remember that you should try to keep the size of your fabric manageable, as working with longer strips of tape can get "sticky", and you can always tape sections of fabric together to get a large sheet.
