Step 3Sheet!
Making the sheet is pretty simple.
Since our total height is 14 inches and our roll of duct tape is 2 inches wide, we'd need 7 strips to make the height. 7 strips at 27 inches long.
To make this easier I took my tape measure and measured a spot 27 inches from the edge of the table and put a small piece of tape there as a measurement guide. Make sure you are not doing this on a good piece of furniture, as duct tape WILL pull the finish off of some wood.
Next I pulled 7 strips off the roll each about 27 inches long. Remember, you get NO points for perfection here.
I laid each of these strips (STICKY SIDE UP) out edge to edge making a 14 inch by 27 inch series of strips. I call these the 'field strips.'
To hold them together You will need 8 more strips 27 inches long. I call these 'binding strips.' Start by placing the first binding strip half on the first field strip and half on the second field strip. Make sure these are STICKY SIDE DOWN.
Continue this with five more binding strips and you should have 1 inch of sticky side showing on the top and bottom.
Then take the last 2 binders and place one sticky side down, half on the first field strip, half on the table, the last one goes half on the last field strip, half on the table, sticky side down.
Take a straight edge and make a line along both side edges and cut along the line to make a nice straight rectangle.
Then you're going to flip the sheet over. You should have 1 inch of sticky side showing at the top and bottom. Fold both sticky sides inward to make a nice folded over edge on both the top and the bottom.
There you have it: a 14 x 27 inch sheet of duct tape.
