“Mom? Can we get some duct tape? Everyone is making things out of duct tape. Flowers… bows… all kinds of stuff.”
And so it began. A trip to Home Depot. To Target. And to Lowes.
Sadly, we could not find camo duct tape. But we will keep looking. What we DID find was Justin Bieber duct tape. Which was turned down IMMEDIATELY. I guess you can actually get too old for Justin Bieber. But not for Hello Kitty. You know how I know? Because I wanted the Hello Kitty duct tape. BAD. Only to be shot down. “Mom, I am NOT getting Hello Kitty Duct tape!”
What did come home with us?
Off and on all weekend, my daughter worked on duct tape projects.
My daughter made me a duct tape lanyard!
I scored a new duct tape wallet.
She made herself a duct tape bag.
Her new book bag. She has since added the second strap.
Her new duct tape pencil case. She even put a zipper in it!
Duct tape hair bows!
I believe creativity skipped a generation, moving from my mother directly to my daughter. However, I’m not complaining. Because I reap the benefits… from both! Now, about those duct tape flip flops…
