What says that Dad is a real handyman better than duct tape?  This is a quick project to help you get on to other projects with your children, such as teaching the true joys of literature, and encouraging them to help paint your fence, just like Tom Sawyer did.   Ah, summer fun....  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tom_Sawyer

This is a down-and-dirty quick apron that you can make en-masse for various messy projects.  I came up with it in the first place for a paper marbling class that I was teaching last year.  The size of the apron can be adjusted to fit smaller people, and if a strap breaks, the fix is no farther than the "Handyman's best friend."  ;)

This instructable was inspired by all of the great apron instructables already on this site, specifically the apron made out of a plastic tablecloth,

and the no sew duct tape apron.
