My son, Matthew, wanted his name on the wall like his sister. My daughters chipboard letters were created with scrapbook paper, Modge Podge and embellishments. SUPER easy!
Since the boys' theme is Superheros I figured finding paper would be a breeze, WRONG! I couldn't find anything to my liking. So when I came across all the fun Superhero Duck Tape my creative wheels started spinning.
Of course, I had not seen anything made from Duck Tape like what I created so I was very excited to be original!
I purchased 8" Chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby. On sale for $.99 each.
I purchased the Duck Tape pictured below from Walmart.com
And this Duck Tape was purchased online from Amazon.com
To get started, I painted each letter a base color that would blend well with the tape I was using. I just used basic acrylic paint and was sure to cover the edges as well.
Next, take the Duck Tape of choice, begin by overlapping the edge and following straight across the letter. Cut excess just as you would wrapping paper and tuck over the edges with the ends secured to the back.
Like so..
Be sure to line up each piece with the next so that the finished product looks like one nice sheet... Or paper you couldn't find :-)
Finally, you must secure the tape to the chipboard with a layer of Modge Podge. If you don't your ends will look like this...
So Modge Podge it up and viola.. Another inexpensive Duck Tape Masterpiece!
