Christie: Hi, I'm Christi
with Duck Brand duct tape, and today I'm going to show you
how to make holiday gift box. For this project you will
need Duck Brand duct tape in a variety of colors. Today I'm using
chrome and candy cane. A gift box or a shoe box, floral
wire, and nonstick scissors. First it's very simple. You're going to want to take
your gift box or a shoe box and cover it with duct tape
using any pattern or design you want. On this I just used
red and white stripes to cover the front and on the
bottom it's just solid red. And then I created a bow
using the reindeer pattern with two strips on the front and
made sure to tuck in the sides underneath like this so you
can still open and close. And I also continued
the ribbon onto the back and then tucked those sides
in underneath as well. Now I'm going to show you
how to make a duct tape bow. First cut off about 11
inches of duct tape, and you will actually want
to work with two pieces. Also take your floral wire and
measure about the same length, which is 11 inches, and lay
it on both top and bottom of one of the pieces of the
duct tape, on the sticky side. Take the other piece of duct
tape and line it up sticky side to sticky side to make a duct
tape fabric with floral wire inside. I am going to take my
scissors and just clean off the edges on both sides,
since I had some extra tape overlapping. And then we want to find where
the middle of this piece is. So we're going to
fold it in half just to create a
seam to work with and we'll use that as our guide. Next step, tape one side
over and gently fold it so the end is in the middle
of your piece of tape. Do the same thing
on the other side. Pinch the entire middle section
together as best as you can, and then working with the floral
wire that's inside just start puffing it out a little bit. Once you have it where it looks
good and then you're happy, just take another one
inch piece of duct tape and secure both sides
together right in the center. Next I'm going to
show you how to make the ribbon portion of your bow. So I've actually
already recreated the duct tape fabric sheets
with the floral wire inside. So I have two strips
about 11 inches long again that I have cut
out triangles at the bottom to look more like ribbon. I'm going to take
the top and actually pinch the two edges together
so the floral wire is next to each other, and do
the same with this side. And then this part will
go on the back of the bow that you've already created. And I have a couple
pieces of duct tape strips here just to secure
them on the back. And then just like
you see here, we want to move the floral wire
around a little bit just to give it more of
a ribbon look again. Now that you have your
completed bow you could take another small
piece of duct tape, this is about an inch wide,
create a loop with it, and then I am just putting it
right on the back of my bow. And then the other
sticky portion will go right on top
of your decorated box. And that's how you make a
duct tape holiday gift box.
