The 411:
We received two rolls of Playtpus Designer Duct Tape and have used them to redo Goddess' school books and many pieces of artwork. Photos to come soon. There are so many videos about using duct tape to create all kinds of things from wallets and purses to flying model airplanes. Not sure that we have that kind of talent but we are using the tape in various ways. We are literally ready to use them as accents on all kinds of things like lamps, boots and if I could, I would use the pink with white polka dot one to redo the front of my fridge but I am sure my husband would flip out!
Here is some information from Platypus about ways to use the duct tape and some really cool videos to show you the many uses of duct tape. It's not just for tool boxes anymore.
