Have you ever wondered how to make a duck tape folder?  Well stick around and you will find out!

I have always said you can fix just about anything with Duck Tape and bailing wire, lol. Trust story, you can they are magical creations that you can do so much with. However, until recently I had never even thought about making a folder using Duck Tape.

My daughter wanted a black and red folder made out of Duck Tape so that is what we did and it turned out a pretty cool if you ask me. Heck, I had no idea that people make all sorts of stuff out of Duck Tape. Seriously, wallets, clothing, book covers, and so much more. Do a little research it will blow your mind, super cool and such fun.

Make Your Own Duck Tape Folder

Okay, well let’s get to this fun little project here. Grab your Duck Tape and come on.

You’ll need the follow items:

• Scissors
• Duck Tape (your favorite color(s)
• Ruler

Directions

Make a sheet 11 ½” x 18 ½” sheet by stacking 18 ½” strips of Duck Tape long ways. I made mine 20”, so I could trim it to size.

Carefully peel up the sheet you just made and flip it over so the sticky side is up and repeat step one. Remember sticky side to sticky side.

Now you have to make the pouch, I made mine about 5” tall by 19” wide remember to leave enough to trim, it’s better to be too long than too short. Carefully peel the pouch and flip and repeat the process, sticky side to sticky side.

We made this folder about about 5” tall by 19” wide remember to leave enough to trim, it’s better to be too long than too short. Carefully peel the pouch and flip and repeat the process, sticky side to sticky side.

Now you need the folder part. Determine which side you want the pouch on. Cut 2- 5” strips of Duck Tape® and attach the pouch to the folder at each side. Then cut 1 strip of tape 19” long and attach the pouch to the bottom of the folder. All there is left to do is to trim the edges fold in half and crease your folder down the middle.

And BAM, just like that you have an awesome little folder, lol. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.

If you wish to make your folder a little less flimsy you can cut a wire hanger 11 ½” long, placed it in the center and covered it with another piece of tape to keep my folder from bending
