Step 1: Use Rubber Bands to Guide Your Placement of Duct Tape Squares

Wrap one rubber band at a time in parallel rows across the 12” x12” tile, starting with the first in the center (add more from the edges, so it takes less time to roll). You can use any rubber band as long as all the rubber bands are the same size and stretch cross the marble to cover only a thin area.  Space them evenly till they are 10/8th inches apart from each other(use a ruler to check spacing). The two end rubber bands however should be spaced 1” from the edge of the tile.

You could combine this with Mrbellangs instructable for duct tape dots - http://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-Tape-Quick-Dots/ - and then use the paper cutter to get your squares made fast. Cool look!
