Introduction: Duct Tape Bow

The most easiest and beautiful thing to make out of duct tape is... *drum roll please* a bow!!! I really love this creation because anyone can make it and it literally takes 2 minutes to make. You can make this out of many, many different colors and the possibilities are endless!! If you want to learn more about this bow, read on.

Step 1: Take Out Your Supplies

For this project, you will need one or two of the big duct tapes of any color and/or pattern. You can also use a small roll of washi tape of any color and/or pattern, instead of duct tape. Lastly, you will need a pair of scissors.

Step 2: Cut the Duct Tape

Take out ONLY one roll of duct tape and cut two strips, each of them 5 inches. While cutting, keep this in mind, your measurements DO NOT have to be exact.

Step 3: Place Them Together

Place one duct tape strip on the other, forming a two-sided piece of duct tape.

Step 4: Trim the Edges

Take out your scissors and trim the edges. Get rid of any excess duct tape.

Step 5: Fold the Duct Tape

Fold the piece of duct tape in a zig-zag pattern, like you would do to make a paper fan.

Step 6: Add More Duct Tape

Using your fingers, press together the middle of your bow. Add another piece of duct tape, which can be a different color or be the same color, in place of your fingers. And wallah, your very own duct tape bow is finished!!!
