Duct Tape
Key Chains
Key Chains
As I was looking at my daughters
duct tape, I knew there had to be something I could make from it.
Then it hit me, wristlet keychains!! With such a selection
of duct tapes out there, your options are endless. I decided to
stick with white, silver and golds. Everyone needs a keychain,
why not make one yourself out of duct tape, right?
