This Rose is Just Ducky!


Day 181.
This Rose is Just Ducky!

I love duct tape...I really do! For many years I directed children's theater productions with sets that were pretty much held together entirely with duct tape. One year for Christmas I remember receiving a daily calendar that was titled something like "365 Uses for Duct Tape". My favorite brand of duct tape is Duck Tape...of course, it's made in the USA. I was checking out their website and came upon this really clever craft idea...


So I decided to try it myself. I picked up a few rolls in clover, cherry and cosmic colors and started crafting a rose with the first two colors.
 
 
The only substitution I made was in place of using a straw for the stem I opted for Wilton cookie sticks, also made in the USA.

 
And here's how my first rose came out...

 
What a cool idea and so much fun! I look forward to making more.
