One of these days I'm going to upload my duct tape song for everyone.

I've seen those wallets. My friend was bored in math class one day and started making one. Then we finished it during the bus ride home.

Duct tape rules all! XD

ugh i got like the two big parts done and the the 3...4 whatever inch peices but i dont get what to do from there, can someone explain or put a better diagram up? this step : 11.
Take one of your little pieces and, with pointy scissors, cut a little opening about 5 millimeters down from the top. About 5 millimeters below THAT, cut another opening all the away across (but don't cut it OFF. Leave yourself a little space on each side...basically, you're making slits).

That's where I changed it. I took the piece, didn't cut slits, and taped 3 sides down to make a pocket. Then I put a second over the first and taped it to make a second pocket.

uhmmm o... so you made one pocket, then you did the same thing directly over it? o well...but none of my card (i.e. school ID etc.) dont fit in it, there just a little bit bigger, but i can easyly fix it by making another one and reducing the part were i take the two and put two over it...

It is a homeowner's best friend. Drain pipe have a leak?--put some duct tape on it. Muffler falling off of the car? Attach it to the underside with duct tape. Is your DDR dance pad shifting around while you dance? Duct tape it to the floor. Got a split in that vinyl "whatever the heck" (car seat, cushion, etc.)? Find some duct tape that is made in the same color and apply. Wires not staying in the computer holes. Duct tape those little guys right in there. No way to ever get loose. Screws for the shower curtain rod giving way in the plaster walls (swear that this actually happened to us), just run some duct tape over everything until you figure out what exactly you need to do to fix the problem.

Oh, no house is complete without duct tape. Where would we be without it?

My family doesn't use duct tape. We use 100 mile a hour tape. Its green and used by the army. See how patriotic we are?

Cheers! I think I might just print that and (duct) tape it inside my school locker to show the duct tape devotion. ^__^

MY TV remote wouldn't work, for a start. Neither would my digital camera. 8)

The one you made me is ok but I can't use it becuase it has already fallen apart and there is no place to put change...

You see, my young padawans:

Duct tape is like the force - It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.



(In otherwords, it's the best stuff ever made in the history of ever...ness.)
