16 Creative Duct Tape Crafts

There are plenty of ideas for kids, teens, and adults here! Check them all out and get your crafting supplies ready for loads of entertainment. Here are a few things to consider before you begin.

Use the right scissors – The best scissors to use are nonstick titanium scissors. They will help prevent the glue from sticking to them. Otherwise, when the glue gums up, they won’t cut well. If you don’t have quality scissors, go for an X-Acto knife instead. It will work well!
Make a flap – When you are finished working with a roll of duct tape, fold the edge over. This will be a life-saver when you want to use it again.
Parchment paper is your friend – When working with duct tape, you’ll be happy to know that it doesn’t stick to parchment paper. This is fantastic because you can lay parchment paper on your workspace, and the tape shouldn’t stick.
Keep a variety of tape on hand – It’s fun to keep several different colors and designs on hand! This is fantastic because it gives you lots of variety when you are crafting.
