5 Duct Tape Craft Tips and Techniques

1. Invest in a pair of nonstick scissors. Duct tape can leave a gummy film on scissors, making it difficult to work with, so before you get started with the duct tape crafts for kids below, make sure you have a pair (or 3) of nonstick titanium scissors.

2. Remove residue with rubbing alcohol. If you don’t have a set of nonstick scissors, or still find your duct tape leaving some residue, you can easily clean this off with rubbing alcohol and an old rag. Check out THIS POST on Hands Occupied for step by step instructions on how to do this quickly and efficiently!

3. Prep with parchment paper. If you’ve ever worked with duct tape, you know it can be challenging to peel and cut. This can pose problems when you’re in the middle of creating a craft and need to cut additional strips of tape ASAP. The good news is that duct tape doesn’t adhere very well to parchment paper, so you can pre-cut your duct tape into strips, place them on a large sheet of parchment paper, and then grab them as needed while you are trying out the duct tape crafts for kids below!

4. Create fun designs with decorative hole punches. Don’t be afraid to add a little personality to your designs with this set of hole punchers!

5. Keep your duct tape organized. If you plan on doing duct tape crafts for kids on the regular, you’ll want to consider investing in some sort of storage system to keep things organized. I love this portable divided craft bin as it has removal dividers, allowing you to store and organize multiple crafting materials at once. You can also buy multiple bins and stack them on top of one another if you have lots of supplies to organize!
