Impress Your Kids » Blog Archive » DIY Duct Tape Flower Pen {Perfect Teacher Valentine!}

At church today, one of the tweens I work with in our Large Group preschool environment was making duct tape flowers. I have a soft spot for duct tape and asked her to teach me how to make one. And she did. And now I’m showing you!

Isn’t that great? Just think of all the fun patterns, colors and shapes of flowers you could do! And I’m super impressed that even though Lydia did 98% of it herself, it still turned out adorable and does not look like a Kindergartner made it. For school, Lydia was assigned to make a Valentine for her principal–and this is what we’re sending! I think she’s gonna like it!

Have you ever made a duct tape craft?

Love your tutorials! I could listen to your voice all day

You’re so sweet! I was feelin’ kinda bad b/c I try keep videos below about 2 minutes. And this one was almost 4! The best part is Lydia’s toes are in it. She kept saying, “My toes are in it! My toes are in it!” LOL!

I just finished my first duct tape bag made with a remnant of upholstery fabrick and polka dot duct tape. It was a lot of fun to make and I plan on doing more! Thanks for putting up your ideas, can’t wait to try them!
