My youngest daughter, who has always been a trendsetter, duct taped her whole back pack, it look great.
It was amazing how many kids started doing stuff like that to their school supplies.
I loved it and her back pack was indestructible and almost waterproof, saved me money too!
Now there are all colors and prints in duct tape. I so want to buy them all every time I see them.
There are even How to books totally devoted to duct tape.
This my friend is a non-traditional art medium.
There are also all kinds art being made with duct tape
