Pretty nice hat... But the design can be improved... how about using different colored tape for stylish designs?

I also found this website, http://tapedcoats.zxq.net/ , that sells awesome duct tape products.. You've never seen anything like this, check them out!

Two things, one there is a really good pic. sequence for making a duct tape sheet on the duct tape book cover instructable. Second, besides looking cool, yes I think duct tape hats are cool, why would you need a duct tape hat if you have a hat already?

lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerJan 5, 2009. 5:48 AM

Just poking, where's your duct tape spirit.

cornflaker in reply to lobo_palJan 7, 2009. 3:10 AM

Its... Uh... LOOK HES GETTING AWAY! *Duct tapes lobo_pal to Wills42*

...

*Pokes some more*

lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerJan 7, 2009. 5:52 AM

*Uses telekinesis to throw cornflaker into the wall, and free himself. Keeps hitting against the wall with mind power*

cornflaker in reply to lobo_palJan 9, 2009. 3:41 AM

*Uses pyrokinesis to thwart lobo_pal's plan, accidently melts all of the duct tape... :(* *Pokes some more with now burning stick*

lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerJan 9, 2009. 5:32 AM

*Uses cryokinesis to stop the fire and freeze everyone else in the room. Pokes with stick and accidentally shatters them, oops*

cornflaker in reply to lobo_palJan 14, 2009. 4:06 AM

*Remains un-shattered waiting for the lobo_pal's cryokinesis outburst to end hoping he forgets to poke me* *Wonders if lobo_pal will use his new ability to bring the duct tape back*

lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerJan 14, 2009. 5:54 AM

*Wraps cornflaker in duct tape to make a full body cast, then keeps wrapping until it is a duct tape coffin. Then buries cornflake.

cornflaker in reply to lobo_palJan 15, 2009. 3:24 AM

*Reluctantly uses pyrokinesis again to completely melt the duct tape coffin, then realises lobopal was using cryokinesis not chronokinesis...* *Uses chronokinesis to go back before lobo_pal gets away... Grabs a bigger stick on the way...*

lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerJan 15, 2009. 5:55 AM

*Unfortunately doesn't realize that chronokinesis ripped the dimension, and caused a black hole to appear near Earth, everyone dies.*

cornflaker in reply to lobo_palJan 16, 2009. 4:00 AM

*A piece of duct tape blocks the black hole and prevents the rest of the universe from being sucked in... Hurray For Duct Tape! :D ... Hmm you know this white nothingness isn't tooo bad...*
