When I first saw this book I was intrested in but compleately inadept with duct tape. This book gave me ideas, inspiration and instructions. It really helped me get going, and I am now much better with duct tape and have even compleated several pieces of costume clothing! Don't get me wrong, using duct tape and making it look nice take a lot of effort. Learning to make your duct tape creations look great will take a lot of patience and a lot of time you can dedicate to it until you get the hang of it you will have to make things over and over so they will look good. If you are willing to spend the time (and duct tape) to make things it's a ton of fun and is definently worth the effort when you finish your first creation. I'd recomend this book to ages 9 and up.
Fun!

I purchased a duct tape wallet at a craft fair last year for fifteen dollars and am still surprised at how sturdy and functional it is! So when I came across "Got Tape?: Roll Out the Fun With Duct Tape!" at my local bookstore, I had to have it. The first thing I did with this great book, is make a new bright purple duct tape wallet. Then, I fashioned an awesome matching purse (using purple and traditional silver duct tape) that gets compliments everywhere I go. Duct tape is so easy to work with, comes in wonderful colors and is sturdy enough to last a long time. If you've been thinking about making your own duct tape creations, "Got Tape?: Roll Out the Fun With Duct Tape!" is a great place to start. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can make the projects.Did I mention that the wallets make fantastic gifts? Every one of my friends has loved receiving one!

I saw this arts and craft genius on TV and was a little skeptical at first...I mean come on, duct tape?? BUT, I was pleasantly surprised at how creative, fun and practical the crafts were! Ellie truly is a creative crafts GURU, and I don't use that term lightly! I made a duct tape skirt and wore it to an interview for a big New York corporation and was hired on the spot. They said they loved the uniqueness of the skirt. Then I went out to celebrate with my friends, and met my future husband, who said he only talked to me because he was attracted to the skirt! THANKS ELLIE!!
I only used it to fix things!!!

An amazing book which brings you through the steps to making wallets, hula skirts, tiaras, sandals, belts and even clothing...with just duct tape--something we all have around the house. I really recommend it--it's a lot of fun and surprisingly useful
