duct tape mania :: kid craft {interview} + giveaway

Posted on by Bridget

My kids love crafts so when this book came in, I handed it to my daughter and said, “Have fun!” She’s been crafting since then. I stopped her to ask her a few questions about the book and she said she’d like to do a little interview. So…here’s an 8 year old’s review of the Duct Tape Mania book.

Mommy: Okay…so you just had a chance to play around with some duct tape. Did you have fun?
Emmie: Yeah. I had a lot of fun.
Mommy: Where’d you get your ideas on what to make?
Emmie: From the Duct Tape Mania book.
Mommy: And what did you make?image
Emmie: I made a pencil that was wrapped around with tape and I had something at the end made of tape.
Mommy: What was at the end?
Emmie: It looked like a flower.
Mommy: What made it look like a flower?
Emmie: Well, when you cut it…it makes the tape look like flower petals and the eraser looks like the center of the flower.
Mommy: Did you make anything else?
Emmie: I made a bracelet.
Mommy: A bracelet? How?
Emmie: I made a braid with the tape.
Mommy: Wasn’t that a sticky mess?
Emmie{laughing}: Sort of.
Mommy: Sorta? How’d you braid it if it was a big sticky mess?
Emmie: I rolled it up so that it’d be like a string.image
Mommy: So you rolled up three pieces of “string”, right?
Emmie: Yes.
Mommy: And then what?
Emmie: I braided it like a regular braid.
Mommy: And then you wrapped it around your arm and I helped you do what?
Emmie: Tape it together.
Mommy: Were either of those crafts hard?
Emmie: Nope.
Mommy: Are any crafts in the book hard?
Emmie: The ones that have the green smiley faces mean that they’re easier. And the ones with the red faces mean, like, they’re harder.
Mommy: Do you think you’ll try some harder ones later?
Emmie: Yes.
Mommy: So would you tell other kids to buy this book?
Emmie: Yeah.
Mommy: Would you give it to a friend for his or her birthday?
Emmie: Yeah.
Mommy: Gramama’s brithday is this week. Think we should give a copy of this book to her?
Emmie{grinning}: Maybe not, but we could make something from the book for her!

  19. I have made the spikey flowered pen… and a rose pen. I always thought it would be hard but it was very easy.

  22. My 12 yr. old started doing duct tape crafts during summer camp. She asked for duct tape for upcoming birthday. This book would be a perfect gift to accompany her duct tape.

  26. We have not, but I have heard about it. I think my daughter would love this book and would be interested.

  28. I have never made anything with duct tape, but my cousins have made wallets and roses on pens!

  30. My husband and I made duct tape wallets several years ago i would love to make some more fun things with my daughter!

  35. My son made a duct tape wallet. I’ve artfully repaired a drainpipe once … probably not what you were thinking of

  39. I have never made a duct tape craft but think my boys would love it! They love crafts and duct tape would be right up their alley!
