Book Overview

It's back -- with more tape and more projects: 18 projects using the do-it-yourselfer's not-so-secret weapon.

Great Book for anyone Who Wants To Do Duct Tape Art!

I got this book for my 12 year old son along with a roll of duct tape. He really loves this book! He doesn't follow all of the directions to the letter, rather he uses the book to just get ideas for his own creations. He's made a lot of fun things. As for "adult themes" in this book, well I looked it over and couldn't find anything lewd or inappropriate. If you look for 'adult themes', you can find them anywhere, and TV is **much** worse than books for that. So, that said, this book will show you how to make wallets, bottle holders, purse, head wear, and more. Have fun with it! Enjoy!

Even the most banal beer drinker can unleash creativity!

What a wonderful, wonderful and inspired book this is. Ok, so the things are a lot harder to make than it really seems at first - however the sheer joy of working with duct tape makes it all worthwhile As someone who has spent many an hour patching up canoes, bikes, cars, shoes and various other bits and peices with silver duct tape, it is nice to see some very practical useful things to be made out of duct tape - including a nice sports wallet - a fashionable apron, and even an exciting drinks holder Unleash the creativity in yourself and your partner. Spend many a fine hour folding silver tape into interesting shapes.

Ductigami: The best book that duct-tape lovers can buy.

Ductigami: The art of the tape is simply the best duct-tape book ever written. It has fourteen highly detailed and very well explained projects, with examples on every page. It teaches you how to make the basic stuff: Sheets, card slots, belts and more for all the projects. My favorite, and the first one I did, is the wallet. It gives you a sturdy, water proof, floating container for your money indentification, gift cards, etc. There are also thirteen more fun and exciting ideas to take up as a hobby. Even after just your first project, you start thinking up great ideas on your own!

The Glories of Ductigami

Ductigami is the best book about duct tape if not the best book ever written. I have made most the objects in the book. Each one worked very well. I feel like everybody should have a wallet made from duct tape. It will float when put in water too. After making some of the items the book shows you how to make I felt like making my own duct tape items. Also I have made some improvment to some of the things. So this is a great book and should be owned by everyone.

Duct tape stuff! Incredible!

I'm ordering this book today because the author (Joe Wilson) is on KFI AM640 in Los Angeles with Debra Rich and is sharing the many uses of Duct Tape. Some amazing things he can do with this is make a duct tape wallet, cell phone holder, la-z-boy drink holder, etc... So, I consider it a must have. Joe has a great sense of humor and fortunately doesn't take this too seriously. I plan to make some of this stuff and give it out as gag gifts for Christmas this year.
