Back to School Notebook, Pen, and Snack Bag with Duck Tape

I was so excited to see this opportunity to create something for back to school with Duck Tape!  I immediately started brainstorming.  

I mean, what can’t you make with Duck Tape?  

I haven’t had a good excuse to purches some of the awesome new patterns and colors since about 5 years ago when our family did a homemade gift exchange with Duck Tape projects – so much fun!

 

I may be at the cabin with spotty Internet service and limited places to shop, but luckily you can buy Duck Tape at Walmart, so I headed out to pick some up.  I also grabbed some storage bags to use along with the notebook and pen I already had.

 

I was most excited about making a snack bag.  I usually pack my step-daughter’s lunches in containers, but I do send Hubby with bags of chips or cookies and I’ve been wanting to make some heavy-duty bags that will last longer than flimsy sandwich bags we’ve been using.  I got some with the slider seal and covered it in Duck Tape.  It looks like it will work great!  It feels so much more heavy-duty and looks like it will hold up way longer!

 

i found an old pen and wrapped it in tape.  I then made a little bow my folding the tape in half the long way and bringing the two ends to meet in the middle and securing with a small piece in another color. I attached it to the clip of the pen.  I

 

 I did a matching bow on the notebook where the two strips of tape intersect.

 

 

Love them!  What would you make?  Or what have you made from Duck Tape?

    1. I’m not positive what is going to happen… 8 use them for my husband’s chips or cookies so they should be fine without washing for a while. When they’re ready, I plan on carefully cleaning the inside until I find out how they hold up. I think my tape job was pretty good and most corners were covered to prevent them from rolling up. Time will tell and I’ll plan an update for a month from now and see how they’re holding up!

  1. What a great idea!! I can’t wait to see how they hold up. I think I even have some leftover duct tape around, maybe I’ll give it a try myself!!
