      Duct Tape Discovery Workshop - Tonia Jenny

      Single-Sided Fabric

      A single-sided fabric is one that is left sticky on the back so you can attach it to something else or something else can be attached to it.

      Materials list

      cutting mat

      craft knife

      duct tape

      straightedge

      STEP 1: Decide what size fabric you’ll need. For this example, a piece 8 × 10 (20cm × 25cm).

      Cut one strip of the tape slightly longer than 8 (20cm) and place it along one line on the cutting mat. Cut a second strip about the same length and position it on the mat so the outside edge is 10 (25cm) from the outside edge of the first strip.

      STEP :2 Place a third piece centered between the first two.

      STEP 3: Fill in the remaining spaces evenly with strips of tape. Layer them on top of each other with at least ¹⁄2" (13mm) of overlap.

      TIP: Keeping the spacing even between your layers means the visible ridges in the fabric will be even as well.

      STEP 4: Aligning the straightedge along the marks that will give you the width you need—in this case, 8" (20cm)—trim the scraggly edges using a straightedge and a craft knife.

      STEP 5: Using the tip of a craft knife, start to remove the fabric from one corner. It should peel up in one piece. This is a single-sided sheet of duct tape fabric.

      Double-Sided Fabric

      A lot of projects begin with a double-sided piece of fabric. Think of these pieces as the individual elements you’d cut from fabric or paper to create something.

      Materials list

      cutting mat

      craft knife

      duct tape

      straightedge

      STEP 1: To create a double-sided sheet of fabric, begin with a single-sided piece cut to the dimension you need and position it so it’s aligned with the rules on the cutting mat, sticky side up.

      STEP 2: Cut one strip of tape slightly longer than the fabric and run it perpendicular to the direction of the strips on the first piece of fabric.

      STEP 3: Place a second strip of tape at the bottom to help keep the fabric in place. Place another strip in the middle.

      STEP 4: Fill in the remaining areas with evenly spaced strips of tape.

      STEP 5: Trim the edges with a straightedge and a craft knife.

      Half-Width Tape

      To cut down on as much wasted tape as possible, I often use a half-width of tape rather than a specific measurement. The width of a standard roll of tape is just under 2 (5cm), so rather than provide a measurement of ¹⁵⁄16 (2.38cm), I made it easier on all of us by simply using half-width.

      Materials list

      cutting mat

      craft knife

      duct tape

      straightedge

      STEP 1: Visually center a strip of tape on the cutting mat between the rules for 2 (5cm). You should have about ¹⁄16 (2mm) on each side of the tape before the lines.

      STEP 2: Trim the tape to the length it needs to be. Cut the tape in half using the center rule line. You now have two half-widths of tape.

      Patterned Tape

      Some varieties of patterned tape are printed in such a way that if you overlap the tape at the right spot, your pattern continues seamlessly. To see if a tape you’re working with does this, pull out a 24" (61cm) or so length and determine whether the pattern appears to repeat. If it does, you should be able to quickly tell if one side of the tape matches up with the other.

      Materials list

      cutting mat

      craft knife

      patterned duct tape

      STEP 1: Some patterned tapes can be lined up to create a whole picture, like this graffiti tape.

      Using the image on the tape roll label, find the first section of the image and place it on your cutting mat.

      STEP 2: The next section of tape should be the next section of the image. Carefully line it up with the first section of tape.

      STEP 3: As you line up the images, the tape should overlap by about ¹⁄8" (3mm).

      Because of this overlap, some tape will be wasted by creating these patterns.

      Working on Parchment Paper

      If you don’t have a roll of parchment paper in your pantry already, you’re going to want to pick some up today. Parchment paper makes cutting shapes from duct tape far easier than cutting them on a cutting mat alone. By using parchment paper, you can achieve much more detail as well as easily transfer a pattern or hand-drawn element.

      Materials list

      parchment paper

      pencil

      duct tape

      craft knife

      cutting mat

      STEP 1: Write your word or design on a piece of parchment paper using a pencil.

      STEP 2: Create a single-sided duct tape fabric over the right side of the pencil drawing.

      STEP 3: Flip the sheet over and cut out the word or design by following the pencil marks (visible through the back of the parchment paper) with a craft knife.

      When you’re ready to adhere your letters or shapes, simply peel off the parchment paper as if it were a sticker, then place the tape element on your project.
