Disclaimer - If the listed tape type is not available, there's no need to worry. All of our crafts can be adjusted to use whatever tape you have on hand!
Get started by making the skirt. Using scissors, remove the handles of a bucket and carefully cut through the basket and out the bottom, leaving just the outer ring of the basket. Then, use Duck Tape® to embellish the skirt. Do not close off the open seam of the skirt until it is time to wear it. Then, secure it with matching tape.
Next, embellish the pants. Cut strips of Duck Tape® and place in the desired areas on the pants. Start around the knee area and cut graphic shapes in a variety of sizes to add embellishment in other areas.
Now, embellish the top. Repeat step 2 and apply Duck Tape® to the top in various areas around the elbows and chest.
If desired, make graphic shoulder pads:
