Square of red Duck Tape

Step 1

For the petals, cut a 1 in. long by 1 in. wide square of Duck Tape®. Lay this sticky side up on your crafting board.

Step 2

Fold the top right corner over so there is one eighth of an inch of sticky part showing around both edges.

Step 3

Fold the left top corner down so that there is one eighth of an inch of sticky side showing on the bottom.

Steps 2-3 repeated until there are 70 petals
