Duct Tape Bow Ponytail Holder

Here is a great craft that is super fun!! I like duct tape a lot because of all the cool designs and colors it has. And because of the cool projects!!

Materials:
  • Duct Tape (any kind, any color, and any design)
  • Scissors
  • Ponytail holder
Step 1: Cut a piece of duct tape out, and fold it in half (hamburger style) sticky sides facing each other.
Step 2: Trim around the edges of it so that there are no edges that don't match up.
Step 3: Scrunch the middle and then cut a piece of duct tape to secure around it (don't do that yet)
Step 4: Put the piece of duct tape with the ponytail with it (under it so it stays on the sticky part) and secure the middle (if the middle gets undone do it before you put your other piece of duct tape on it)

And now you have your duct tape bow ponytail holder. Enjoy!!!



I have this duct tape I love it!! I made this project with it!!!

How to make a pencil that is decorated by you!

Materials:

  • Decorations (pieces of paper in shapes, stickers, glitter, feathers (for the top), buttons, small beads, etc.)

Step 1: Take a strip of construction paper on the pencil and tape it to it (or glue) leave about 3 inches where there's no construction paper at the place where you sharpen the pencil.
Step 2: Tape or glue little decorations on like paper shapes or stickers or whatever you rhink is good! But remember don't put to much on so you can't use it!

Oops! Forgot to mention something.......

I forgot to mention that at the end of every craft that I explain how to do, I will make a Challenge 4 u and post if you did it. Kate my sister did something similar to this before me (inspiration!) in her Kate Challenges here's her blog:

But mine is different so whenever I put a Challenges 4 u then try it and then post! Then on October 31st they will stop and whoever does the most wins a prize! Ok so maybe they aren't that different........... but anyway also on October 31st I will reveal a craft that I thought of that will be pure genius, unique, and original, but you know I haven't thought of it yet..........................................

Sorry Guys! Creature Craft!

Sorry that I haven't been posting for a long time but here's a craft that I thought of (but others might have done something like it) that might make up for it:

Make you own Creature!
Materials:
  • Pom-poms
  • Googly eyes
  • Little feet (whatever you can find)
  • Other things (pipe cleaners, feathers, sequins, smaller pom-poms, etc.) (optional)


Step 1: Glue the googly eyes to your pom-pom
Step 2:  Atach the feet to the bottom of your creature.
Step 3: (Optional) Add any kinds of things you want

Challenge 4 u:
Get creative! Maybe you might just want to use one eye! Or one bigger than another! Or you might want to put the feet on the head! Or if you want make your creature into an animal! The picture above shows someone made it like that, but you can do whatever you want!
