Are You a Giants or Patriots Fan?







In honor of Super Bowl XLVI this weekend, check out duct tape artist, Jeremy Tubbs' NFL Helmet Series.


Using six different layers of duct tape, beginning with white covering a canvas frame and increasing the grayscale value until finally reaching black, Tubbs' artwork is absolutely amazing. The detail he includes is so intricate, you'll still be shaking your head thinking, "how does he do that." It's difficult to even imagine how long it would take to create one of his masterpieces. 


To see more of Tubbs' duct tape art, check out his website, blog, or Facebook page.

New Mini-Wallets in Fun Printed Duct Tape

With the purchase of some new, fun, printed duct tape, mom went crazy making mini-wallets. These mini-wallets consist of a clear ID pocket, 3 credit card pockets, and coin purse where you can seal coins and dollars inside. There's even a place to attach your keys. Mom doesn't like carrying her purse everywhere and these have just enough room for her to carry to essentials.

Clear ID Pocket
Coin Purse
3 Credit Card Pockets and Keychain


One thing mom noticed when working with the printed duct tape is that it is NOT like wallpaper. It doesn't line up so you can match up the pattern at the ends. These unmatched seams may be seen under the clear ID pocket, but will be hidden once you slip your ID inside.

Ohio State (OSU) Duct Tape Wallets

I received two orders for Ohio State (OSU) duct tape wallets because that's the popular college team where I live. The first one that I made is Red duct tape with Gray as the brim. The logo was created on card stock and covered with clear tape. 




On the second wallet I made, my mom suggested to make the main color Gray and the brim Red to make the logo stand out. I also reduced the size of the logo so it didn't touch the brim. I like the outside of the second wallet a lot more than the first, but prefer the Red on the inside with the Gray brim.

Columbus Crew Duct Tape Wallet


I made this duct tape wallet for my other sister who plays soccer for Crew Juniors, a youth development affiliate of the Columbus Crew MLS program. It has Black duct tape as the primary color and Yellow duct tape as the brim.


Piano Duct Tape Wallet

One of my sisters started taking piano lessons this past year so I decided to make her a piano duct tape wallet. The keys were extended to the backside and then covered with clear tape to preserve the design. The inside is Black with White brim. 

Two Tone Duct Tape Wallets for Christmas

For Christmas, I gave several family members duct tape wallets. Each wallet contained a clear ID pocket on the left, 3 card pockets on the right, and a money slot.


Below are pictures of the ones I created.

Here is a duct tape wallet I made in November using Electric Blue and White for the brim.










I made this other wallet in December using the same Electric Blue with Yellow brim.
