Duct Tape Bags

The prototype

We can't help ourselves. We've expanded our duct tape repertoire into bag making.

See my duct tape satchel?

Like my stripey satchel? Check out the myriad of duct tape tutorials on-line or you can get the tutorial for this bag from Kid Made Modern by Todd Oldham (which has lots of uber cool craft ideas).

Using some recycled bubble wrap envelopes we ventured into even more bags. Peelu even used her burly muscles and incredible design sense to make this cute little eclectic tote.

And after making his wallet, big E went for broke and made this epic Autobot bag with a front design that he spent quite a while on while hand-cutting it.

Oops, sorry, it's a MAN satchel. Not a bag. My bad. So of course S had to make a MAN satchel too. A Pokemon version.

And R's very colorful version involved a LOT of duct tape.

Phew! We have a bag for every occasion now. And these babies are sturdy!
