Make a picture frame out of duct tape!

Step One

Make two double-sided strips that are each 3-3/4 inches long:

· Cut a strip of duct tape to the recommended length for the project.

· Lay it sticky side up on your work surface.

· Cut another strip of the same length. Place it sticky side down, directly on the first strip, matching up all edges.

Step Two

Make two double-sided strips that are each 9-1/2 inches long.

Step 3

Form the picture frame with the strips by placing the short pieces in between the long side pieces.

Step 4

Cut four 1-inch long strips. Use them to tape the frame together where the long and short pieces meet.

Step 5

Flip the picture frame over. Cut two strips of duct tape, each 9 inches long.

Step 6

Place one strip directly over the short side of the frame. Fold extra tape onto the back.

Step 7

Repeat Step 6 on the opposite short side.

Step 8

Flip the picture frame over. Center the picture, face down, over the frame’s window. Cut two 9-inch strips. Use them to tape the picture onto the frame on the long sides.
