These duct tape bookmarks are a great "back to school" craft!
It’s time to go back to school! And whether you’re a student who would like a creative way to hold your supplies, or a teacher looking for a fun craft for your students, we have some ideas for you! Here are some fun back to school crafts using America’s favorite packaging tape, duct tape.
Duct Tape Bookmark: This is a great way to make some unique and colorful bookmarks, and is an easy craft to do. All you need is duct tape in the color(s) of your choosing, scissors, a ruler, a single hole punch, and a piece of ribbon or string. Cut two 5-inch long strips of tape, and lay one on your work surface sticky side up. Lay the other strip directly on top, sticky side down, to create a double-sided strip. Trim off sticky edges and if you like, round the corners of one side of the bookmark.
If you want additional decorations, use the hole punch to make a hole at the top, and loop string or ribbon through. Then you can embellish the bookmark with stickers, strips of a different color tape, or whatever else you can think of!
School Supplies Holder: Using a piece of duct tape fabric, you can make a holder for your calculator, pens and pencils, and ID card. Make a piece of duct tape fabric large enough to fit around your calculator with about 1/4 inch extra space. If you want a slot for your ID card, wrap another piece of fabric around the front, just big enough to fit the card in. On the front of the pouch, make 3 loops and one on the side to fit your pens and pencils.
If you want to be able to attach the holder to your belt, add a loop of duct tape fabric to the back that your belt can fit through.
