Have you ever seen the showSouthern Charm?
The top sign says LOVE and the bottom sign says HOME in nautical alphabet flags.
I realized very quickly that it wasnt just a pipe dream.
I couldtotallydo thisbeach decorproject in Duck Tape!
I have a lot of colorful tape around here, so I already had the colors I needed.
Im sharing the alphabet with you below so you’re free to use it for reference .
and perhaps you want to spell something different?
Wouldnt a name be fun in a nautical themed bedroom?
Or maybe theres another word that youd like to use.
Are you ready to learn how to make it?
Our total length across was 34 1/2.
We decided to do four 7 squares for a total of 28 of taped area.
Between each flag we allowed for a 1.5 width, and on each end we placed a 1 border.
Then youre going to begin cutting your Duck Tape nautical alphabet flags.
You may also run into this same challenge.
And if you do, I suggest you solve it the same way we did.
With a black square in the background that is 1/8 larger than your flag all the way around.
So our first order of business was to make a black Duck Tape square approximately 7 1/4.
For the H, we made a band of white tape that was 3.5 wide and 7 tall.
We peeled it up and placed that on the black Duck Tape very carefully.
Then we peeled up the black square and placed in on the back board as shown above.
We cut a 3.5 width of red tape and placed it right next to the white.
We used washi tape to help us section off our letters.
We continued making our nautical alphabet flags with Duck Tape on the craft mat.
Then we repeated with the red.
