Overview

Considered by some to be the handy person's secret weapon, duct tape is useful for a variety of tasks. For the Duct Tape Challenge, we want to see how you utilize duct tape to fix, adhere, or completely make your project. Use it in your workshop or bring it into your craft room; any project that uses duct tape will work for this contest.

The most impressive duct tape-related Instructable will earn the winner an Apple Watch! So, grab a roll (or 10) of this handy material and see what you can make.
