Making Duct Tape Shoes
I have to be the proud momma this Monday morning and brag a bit! Saturday we took a trip to Tar-jay to get plastic bins and other exciting things like dish soap and cotton balls. It was a pretty low key day.I bought the kiddos some Duck Tape to craft with, and Oldest spent the rest of the afternoon grabbing scissors and stuff from the recycling bin and making duct tape shoes.
She never stops amazing me because three hours later she made not only one pair,but two pairs of Duck Tape shoes. All by herself! I loved seeing how she created a pattern and put these together.
Not only did she turn out a super cute pair of Duct Tape Mary Jane style shoes.
But she used opposite colors to make a pair of loafers!!! And she made all her own templates and patterns by tracing her feet. I might have to ask her if she’s up for doing a tutorial. 🙂 These are so cute and I love her creativity. Duct tape comes in so many different patterns and colors and there are so many things you can create with it.
I am not sure how wearable they are, but they are pretty cool. I might have to get her a plain pair of shoes for her to cover in Duck Tape that she can wear every day. I see Project Runway in her future! If you love making over clothing, try painting a pair of old boots.
Or you can paint on old jeans to really give them a fresh look.

Jennifer,
Those little shoes ARE amazing! I have an 11 yr old niece who’s made lots of little purses out of duct tape, but those shoes are killer! Very clever!
Have a great week – your Oak House project looks terrific.
Those shoes are really, really cool. Nice job!

Wow, nice shoes. I’m surprised they’re made with duct tape
Very cute!! You know, when she’s older, duct tape does a prom dress contest every year. I thing she’d be a “shoe in!” lol
Those shoes are so totally over-the-top cool! If she used something rigid as a base and covered that she would definitely have something wearable! How totally cool!
