We have a great giveaway that features 2 pairs of Fiskars Duck Edition Scissors and copies of the books How to Make 100 Ribbon Embellishments: Trims, Rosettes, Sculptures, and Baubles for Fashion, Decor, and Crafts and The Book Art Studio Handbook.
Leave a comment in today’s post by Thursday August 14th , 2014 and you will be in the running for this scissor and book giveaway. Open to U.S. residents only please.
Now Duck tape is essentially sticky ribbon so I went to my copy of How to Make 100 Ribbon Embellishments for a bit of inspiration being that just about everything in the book I bet could be made with Duck tape beautifully.
This page that features a tutorial on how to make Mix and Match ribbon fringe gave me the idea to make mix and match Duck tape pennant banners to dress up my Airstream for summer.
Here they are a bit closer.
They were so easy and fun to make.
Aside from a variety of Duck tape all you need are straws and string. Simply cut strips of Duck tape about 10 inches long.
Place the straw on the center of the tape.
Fold the tape over the straw back onto itself.
Cut a “V” in the end of the pennant.
To add a center stripe either use the thin Duck tape or cut strips thin. Cut a “V” in the end and place on the larger base pennant.
Trim the straws down to the size you would like the spacing of the pennants to be and thread them onto a string. I used some wire to make a “needle”. A friend told me that when they hang all the flags on a boat it is called “full dress” so my Airstream is now in “Full Dress”.

I need to win some scissors. I am constantly going through them cutting material and they are always getting dull. Also need new ideas for decoration items for my home. Thank you.
I never thought of duct tape as a craft item, but lately I have seen some great duct tape’s in the store, so this would be the perfect contest to win.

I love working with paper and am having fun with duck tape. I’m sure the new scissors will be a great tool to use in duck tape crafting.
Wow! This looks cool. Thank you for the post and giveaway!
Such a clever easy way to make a great banner! Fiskars scissors are my favorite and I can never have enough. Would love to add this book to my collection!
Fun, fun, fun!! Love new ideas !
Great giveaway! So many cool stuff! Thank you
Wow! What fun to be the winner of such a great package. Thanks for the chance to win.
MY kids found and took my last pair of good craft scissors so now they are covered in glue and tape so I am in desperate need before the fall and winter season comes in!
What a FUN giveaway! Fiskars makes dependable products for all levels of crafting use.
GREAT ideas – especially as duck tape will hold up to outside weather.
I have been eye-balling Fiskars scissors for Duck tape. I am so happy that there is such a product. I work with kids & cutting duck tape is rough & has to be done by an adult, most of the time. It would be great to acquire these items. Thanks!
Would love to win, and will have to find a really good hiding spot to be able to use them before my daughter gets a hold of them!
