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!

Small Duct Tape Rose Tutorial

So I previously posted pictures of my duct tapes flowers and someone commented saying they liked the small roses. So I made up this tutorial for you!

What you need:

• Scissors or X-Acto Knife
• Duct Tape
• Ruler or Cutting Mat
• Fingers

I used a X-acto Knife, and a cutting mat.

To Start- Rip/Cut a piece of Duct Tape off about 10 inches long

Cut the Strip of Duct Tape into about 1 inch by 1 inch squares

Fold the 1 corner of the duct tape on to the stick side so that it forms an "L" shape of sticky.

Fold the 1 of the stick sides onto the already folded duct tape. It will make a triangle of duct tape


Fold the rest of the Squares.

To start your duct tape rose, roll the 1 of the triangles into a cylinderish shape.

Keep adding petals around to form the flower. (It will take a few pictures for you to get your technique
mastered.)

Tada! You made a duct tape flower. To make a larger one, just make the squares bigger. Have Fun and Good luck!!!
