Bows!

I'm teaching a duct tape elective and this was the first project the student's did. It's a really simple duct tape bow that you can pretty much stick to anything if you like. Accessorize your hair, your room, anything really. They're very simple.
First:
Acquire some duct tape. Obviously. They have awesome duct tape from Duck Brand, like graffiti and leopard print.
Get an exacto knife or scissors to cut. And definitely a ruler.
First, cut two 3 1/4 inch (9.5 centimeters) strips of duct tape. Stick them together on the sticky side.
Then, accordion fold the piece of tape you have hot dog style. Lastly, eyeball a small strip of tape, about 1/4 inch (0.6 centimeters). Stick this piece around the middle of your accordion, fluff out the edges, and you have a bow!
