D.I.Y. Duck Tape Flowers





These D.I.Y. Duck Tape Flowers are perfect! No dirt, no thorns, and you don't even need to 
water it. What could be better?

To make this D.I.Y. you will need:
  • Duck Tape (preferably one roll of green for the stem and then one other color of your choice to make the petals) 
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Straw (Optional)
1.To make this D.I.Y. Craft first thing you will need to do is take your straw this step is optional, if you have a straw take the green duck tape and wrap around the straw, make sure you wrap the entire straw you don't want any straw showing. Now if you don't have a straw you need to take the duck tape and measure the length that you want  your stem to be. Roll it length wise, so it creates the impression that there is a straw.

2.Once that is done you are  going to want to create some petals to do this you need to cut a 2-inch strip of the duck tape of your choice, then with the sticky side up fold one corner into the center. You need there to still be some stickiness on the top and bottom. Now take the opposite corner that you just folded and again fold it over. Once done it should look like a triangle but you still want the bottom to be sticky.

3.With your first petal done take the stem that you created earlier on and wrap the sticky piece around the top of the stem that will be your center.

4. To make the petals around the center repeat Step 2. sightly overlapping the petals and keeping the tips of your petals even. 

5. To make your leaves on your flower take the same color duck tape and do Step 2. but wrap them around the base of your flower.

These are great, a lot of fun to make and are super easy!
