What are some of the most unusual uses for duct tape that you have done or heard of?

7

Just wondering. I realized today that duct tape isnt just a redneck accessory anymore. I saw a man in the mall today that had made a rather nice cell phone cover and case entirely from duct tape.

I remember back in the day, maybe when I was in junior high? I’m not sure but everybody in my schoolthought it was cool to have a duct tape wallet. (guys anyway). It did look pretty cool, but I thought it was kind of dumb after awhile.

My friend used duct tape on his debit card until he could get the bank for a new one. It still worked, too!

They looked very eccentric I must say haha

My dad was the duct tape king. He used it to fix his pants pockets, toasters, water pipes, make wallets, etc. Personally I’ve used it as a strapless, backless bra….works wonders!

Check out the book “Ductigami” by Joe Wilson. It has a bunch of really cool things you can do with duck tape, plus it’s really funny cuz it was written by a comedian who idolized Red Green. anyway, here are a few of his (and some of my own) suggestions:
wallets
purses
book covers
hemming pants
suspenders
toilet paper cover
reinforce folders/binders
clothing
pull unsightly hair
mute function for humans
earrings
sealing envelopes
repairing old shoes (a favorite of mine)
putting up holiday lights (easy removal)
used in place of nail polish
replace shoe laces
remove lint from clothing
mouse trap/fly paper (it works!)
earmuffs
watch band
CD case
bike decorations/patch jobs
hat
put a few rolls on their side and roll them to have a duct tape race
repair smashed pumpkin
wrapping holiday presents
guitar strap
guitar decorations
i could go on, but you may be here for a while. visit the link in Sources to see more (252 more, to be exact)
