Duct Tape Armwarmers
Nov. 1st, 2003 02:46 pmDown in the basement looking for paper towel, I came accross the good ol' roll o' duct tape. I brought it upstairs and pondered what to make with it. I began making a sheet of tape when inspiration struck: duct tape armwarmers!

Aren't they great? I warn you, if you make anything wider than the standard width of the tape, you're going to want to taper it. I didn't think to, and my large one doesn't fit very well.
Directions:
1) Stick together strips of tape to form a sheet the length and width you want. Make sure that it's not too thick, or it won't fit in the hole punch.
2) Locate a hole punch. I used a tripple hole punch. For smaller cuffs, simply punch two or three holes using the center punch. For larger armwarmers, use the edge punches on each side of your armwarmer to align the holes properly, then add in the rest of the holes with whichever punch will work best.
3) Find an old shoe you're never ever going to wear. Steal it's laces. Lace up armwarmer / cuff.
4) Exclaim "OMG!!!
fruitydelicious is a genious!!11!!!"
