I can personally testify to how much fun this Scented Duck Tape is to work with. It’s like those scented markers-I loved those! Well, with Halloween just around the corner I though I try making a candy corn pennant banner like the one on the cover of Felt-o-Ween: 40 Scary-Cute Projects to Celebrate Halloween (enter to win a copy at this post by the 20th) only with Duck Tape Scents.

It was easy and sniff-tastic!

I placed 3 strips of Duck Tape on a piece of the paper that printer labels come on. I plan on using the other triangles of the candy corns as stickers and this makes it easy to peal off the tape.

I pealed back the paper about a 1/4 of an inch and cut it off. Then I stuck the pennant candy corn onto a piece of ribbon. I played with the spacing a bit and settled on about 2 inches apart. Stay tuned to see how I use the other set of candy corn pennants. Good luck to all who enter to win this fun set of Scented Duck Tape!

  1. candy corn is my favorite candy, my daughter is a 1st grade teacher and love to make them for her classroom.

  11. Love the idea of scented tap! Anything that involves more than just the sense of sight is a good thing in my book!

  29. The possibilities are endless! The smell and texture of the duct tape would make it a great learning tool for teachers without the mess of the actual item the tape smells like Imagine what you could do with kids who have sensory overload.

  35. Wow, scented duck tape, never heard of that. I use duck-tape for all kinds of repairs and projects. Gotta check this out!

  39. I am turning 60 in a few weeks. As a little girl who had an artsy bent, I couldn’t go very far with construction paper and paste which was pretty much all that was available back then. Scented Duck Tape? NOW we’re talking…oh the fun things running through my mind…whoop whoop!

  44. Love that banner and LOVE candy corn. First zebra print and now SCENTED Duck Tape?! Nice! I’d love to wrap some of my packages and see if the scent lasts across the Postal miles. Yum!

  49. I’ve been amazed that something originally made to hold ac duct work together is now a popular craft supply. Love the candy corn garland idea I’ll have to remember it to use it when I have a space to decorate with it.

I Found a Table Made from Mannequin Legs—and I’m Still Not Over It

Okay, I have to tell you about one of the most bizarre-yet-brilliant DIYs I’ve come across in a while. While scrolling through google (as one does when deep into a late-night upcycling rabbit hole), I stumbled on a video tutorial for a table made out of mannequin legs. And honestly? I couldn’t look away.

This project is peak creative chaos—in the best way. The concept is exactly what it sounds like: four mannequin legs, flipped and fixed in place, supporting a standard tabletop. It’s got this quirky, surreal vibe that makes it feel part high fashion, part modern art installation. Think: Tim Burton meets IKEA.

What I loved most about this video is how surprisingly accessible it is. The creator breaks the process down clearly—so even though the end result looks totally wild, the steps are manageable. You’ll need a few tools and a decent amount of glue or screws (depending on how permanent you want this table to be), but nothing too technical.

Design-wise, this piece is an absolute conversation starter. It would look amazing in a creative studio, a funky coffee shop, or even as a statement piece in a minimalist home—anywhere you want to break the “normal furniture” mold. The contrast between the realistic mannequin legs and a basic tabletop is just the right kind of weird.

If you’re into recycled home decor, eco-conscious DIY projects, or just love adding some unexpected personality to your space, this one’s worth bookmarking. Whether or not you ever make it yourself, it’s guaranteed to make you see mannequins—and furniture—in a whole new way.
