Come learn how to make almost anything out of duct tape. For example: Wallets, CD cases, shoes, clothes, bags, laptop cover/case, boxes, coaster...pretty much anything. Plus stay to the end if you want to hear a quick tip about a super easy, comfortable, no fumble, no slip, strapless-strap-on (dildo harness). A handy tip for anyone who doesn't like to have a wedgy or to be pinched when using a strap-on!

details

lesson plan

Show the basic strategies of duct tape construction, i.e. assembly in pieces and taping both sticky sides to each other, lay out your pieces and assemble them. Show the order/steps to make pockets or pouches using the least amount of duct tape, to reduce waste and bulkiness of your creation. Show the construction (step by step) of common things like wallets, cd cases, boxes...once you get the main idea you can make anything! Make your wallet unique by adding as many "card" pockets as you like! a change purse that snaps shut! a paper bill pocket! hidden pockets! Accessorize for convience with snaps or velcro!
Strategies for other items...for example Shoes/slippers: Line with corrugated cardboard for extra thickness in the sole. For clothes: Add a zipper to make a tank top, skirt or pants!
Duct tape creations make great gifts...don't just make a mixed CD, put it in a duct tape case, with your personalized touch! Make a multi-cd case with overlapping pockets to fit as many cds as you want!
