Duct Tape Flower #3 Tutorial

Here is another Duct Tape Flower Tutorial for you to enjoy! The center of this flower is exactly the same as our tutorial for A Small Duct Tape Rose, so if you know how to make that- then you will be golden when you make these!


What you Need:
Duct Tape
Wire
Wire Cutters
Scissors
Cutting Mat or Ruler

                                                                         Step 1:

Measure out a strip of Duct Tape 8 inches long 

Step 2:

Cut the tape in half so that you have 2 strips of 8 inches

Step 3: 

Cut about 1 inch by 1 inch squares from the 2 strips of tape

Step 4

Flip the a square over and fold one corner down so that you have an "L" of sticky side remaining

Step 5:

 Fold down the other corner so that you have a triangle with a base of exposed adhesive 

Step 6:

Continue doing this to all of your squares

Step 7:

Take one of your triangles and roll it so that it forms a cylinder shape. 

 

Step 8:

Begin to add the rest of the triangles onto your center. (Please excuse the awful looking nails- I almost went and repainted them just so that I could take this photo...but i didn't)

Step 9:

Add the remaining Petals/triangles on to get a small rose.

Step 10:

Set your center rose aside and cut 5 strips of tape about 7 inches long 

Step 11:

Cut 5 pieces of wire about 3 1/2 inches long and place one at the base of each strip of tape

Step 12:

Fold the tape in half over the wire- Your Edges do not need to be pretty as you will cut them next 

Step 13:

Cut a petal shape out of the duct tape leaving some adhesive at the bottom. Attach the petals to your center rose.

TADA! :) 

I hope your flowers turn out FANTASTIC! Feel free to send us photos or comments of how yours turned out! We would love to see them!
