The DT (DUCT TAPE) Manifesto
Duct Tape can change your life in so many ways. No doubt, it probably already has.
Some for good, like keeping your broken refrigerator door handle on for the millions of
trips you make to it for munchies. And some for ... well ... not so good, like being DTed
to the flag pole outside of school because someone felt you’d be missing out on life
without that humiliation.
This book is not meant to enhance or encourage those types of lifechanging
experiences, but by all means don’t let me stop your bad self from experimenting. After
all, it’s fun, courageous curiosity that will fuel your creative drive through the projects
here.
From wicked wallets that will make your boyfriend/girlfriend/ mom/barista jealous, to
punked out paper goods, you can rile up your world with all of that, wild wearables, and
more. Just flip these pages, stock up on colorful rolls of DT (and other tapes, as well!),
and tune in to your imagination. Let your rockin’ self unroll.
WARNING:
STICKY STUFF!
To state the obvious—DT is some pretty sticky stuff. Such as when you get “stuck” in
life and want to bash your head onto hard surfaces, there are going to be frustrating
times working with this oh-so-durable medium. Please don’t intentionally harm
yourself. If pieces of tape get tangled and mangled—and they will, trust me—simply rip
yourself a new piece. Start over. And if worse comes to worse, put the DT down and
step away from the project. Breathe deep—don’t verbally or physically bash anyone or
anything in your way—and return when you’ve chilled.

Just remember that you are brilliant no matter what your pretentious craftster friends
say. And if you’re a pretentious craftster, well, you already know you’re the shizz, so go
on!
PROJECT DIFFICULTY LEVELS:
Dude, my five-year-old sister could do that.
Who says you can’t chew gum, talk, and cut tape at the same time?
Take a lesson from mama: listen, sit your butt down, and be patient.
Don’t even think about operating heavy machinery.
BEFORE YOU ROCK & UNROLL
So you’re psyched up on caffeine, and visions of DT wallets—and how much dough
you can roll in from them—dance in your head. Now where do you go? Before you race
to unroll, my friends, we need to make a few pit-stops down the T3 trail, to get the
lowdown on necessities: Tools, Tips, and Techniques. By the end, your brain will be
busting with the know-how to get through any project here—and on your way to
becoming the DT masters of your very own.
