We are huge fans of crafty author Amanda and her easy, fun and amazing craft ideas.   We haven't hit a store to grab any duct tape but we plan on doing at least 6 of these crafts before December. We love how easy the projects appear.  

Each page has a colorful layout with the project laid out by numbered steps with each one being 3-15 steps.

Our first plan is to make a tablet case for our Kindles and decorate Goddess' bike.

The Rubber Band Mania book has some great steps on making those bracelets everyone loves including how to make your very own loom using a corkboard and pushpins. LOVE IT!

There is a rubber band powered car and a boomerang too that we are in love with. 

So many fun color projects kids will love and will keep them completely unplugged. I am all for unplugged.

  10. I believe that my granddaughter would love to read this Duct tape book and she would also love to read and do the crafts in it and in this Rubber Band Mania book by Amanda Formaro she is very crafty and loves to make things with her hands, I have a refrigerator full of drawings and duct taped frames, so it would be wonderful
