Fun Home Projects Using Duct Tape!

Duct tape isn’t just for keeping in the garage. It has many uses, including some really fun projects you can do to help make your home a little better. Duct tape isn’t just plain old gray anymore. There are plenty of fun colors and patterns to choose from nowadays that are sure to tickle your fancy. At Greenwood Hardware, you will find just what you need to make your weekend project a huge success.

Check out some of the things you can create using duct tape:

Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon

This is the perfect month to show your support for breast cancer awareness. Draw a design of a ribbon on some cardboard. Cover the cardboard with pretty pink ribbon. Use a black marker to write the name of a loved one who has been touched by breast cancer somewhere on your new ribbon.

Rain Boots

Make an old pair of boots waterproof with some duct tape. Choose a fun color or pattern and create a pair of zany rain boots out of old boots that are sitting in the back of the closet. The boots will be waterproof and keep your feet dry this cold, wet fall.

Key Lanyard

Choose duct tape that suits your personality or go for some neon color to help you find your keys. Tear off 6 to 12-inch strips of duct tape and carefully fold the strips in on each other to create a flat lanyard. Thread the duct tape lanyard through your key ring and you will have a unique key chain.

Chore Box

Create a fun chore box out of an old shoe box. Wrap the box with your favorite color of duct tape. Cut a hole in the top and fill the box with pieces of paper with various chores written on each piece. You could also make a box filled with inspirational quotes. Each morning, pull out a paper from your box and help inspire your day.

Gift Packaging

Wrap a package with wrapping paper. Use strips of duct tape in place of ribbon. Stick a bow in the center and you not only have a pretty package, but it will also be nice and secure. There will be no peeking when you have duct tape keeping it together!

Duct tape is a fun way to jazz up things around the house. You can transform something old into something new with just a single roll of duct tape. These are great projects for the kids on a rainy day. Head into Greenwood Hardware and pick up some new duct tape to get started on your next project. Come on in, or contact us today.
