Place a piece of Duck Tape on a cutting mat

Once you make one, you wont want to stop!

These duct tape bracelets are guaranteed to be a hit.

My bracelets are 9 inches round, and they easily slip over my hands onto my wrist.

Hand folding in both sides of the tape

Are you ready to learn how to make them?

Place it down on a cutting mat and trim.

Having a cutting mat can really help you estimate the middle of the Duck Tape.

Fold in another quarter of the Duck Tape

Fold the other side so that both pieces meet in the middle.

If they slightly overlap, thats totally fine.

Repeat with two other colors of tape.

Clamp three pieces of Duck Tape to a table

Yet another option a clipboard!

Just like a lot of kids use for friendship bracelets.

Braid the Tape

Begin braiding the Duck Tape, just as you would do a regular braid.

Youll want to braid rather tightly.

Place each of these pieces toward each end of the braid, and trim as shown.

This is what the end of your braided bracelet will look like.

Cut two inch strips of Duck Tape

Lay your bracelet out on the cutting mat.

Youre going to cut more Duck Tape!

Its really up to you!

Cut off the end of the braid

Not only does this secure your bracelet, but it makes it really easy to take on and off.

you’ve got the option to see that we tried these in a few colors.

I wore these braided bracelets for several weeks.
