Summer is finally here and I am so excited to be playing outside in the sun with my kids. Which means it is also time to pull the bikes out of the shed, fix those flat tires and get them ready for a summer of fun. My husband is always really good at fixing the flats but when my daughter was complaining of a pinching seat and needed a bike seat repair, she was directed my way.

Her bike is in good condition, and not even close to needing to be replaced. It's just that darn uncomfortable and pinchy seat.

That's where I come in with my handy dandy Duck Tape. I have TONS of Duck Tape in about every color and pattern, and this is the style that my daughter chose for her new bike seat. I was a little worried about matching up the chevrons, but it was actually easier than I thought it would be.

I started with the skinny end of the seat and made my way toward the fatter end.

I cut the Duck Tape into strips and layered them one strip at a time.

I tried to match the chevron pattern starting in the middle of the strip and then adhered the sides.

The ends of the tape, I wrapped underneath and stuck to the bottom of the seat.

All done! Hey, that was way easy!

My daughter loves her new bike seat and is ready to take summer on, with a bike helmet of course!

My other daughter actually wants her seat done too, and it is completely fine. Only the cool kids have Duck Tape seats!

OK, that is seriously too cute! (And I love that you were concerned about matching up the chevrons. It really makes a difference!) My kids will definitely want me to do this to their seats, even though they're not ripped. I think you've started a trend. (Found you on Say G'day Saturday and now following you on pinterest!)

The chevrons matched great! I love the repair rather than replace philosophy! Stopping by from Do Tell Tuesday 🙂
