Have you ever used Duck Tape? If not, you are missing out! There are so many simple ideas you can make with it, and that is what I love. This stuff is kind of amazing, truly. I wanted to share a Valentine’s Day craft with you that illustrates how awesome it can be.
I made this Duck Tape Valentine’s Day frame in about ten minutes, not counting dry time. I popped a picture of myself and my sweet piggie inside of it, and I was done! If you need a quick Valentine’s Day decor idea, this is for you. Here’s how I did it.
DIY Valentine’s Day Frame
Gather These Supplies
- Basic wood frame
- Duck Tape – Valentine’s Day patterns
- FolkArt acrylic paint – Wicker White
- Wood letter accents
- Paintbrush
- Craft knife
- Craft glue
Duck Brand® has all sorts of fun patterns and colors you can use for this project. I liked the hearts and the red tape.
Any wood frame will do – I love the ones that you can get from the craft store for $1!
Paint the frame with Wicker White. You’ll need to give it several coats on both sides. Let it dry.
Run your heart Duck Tape down one side, and then run the red Duck Tape across the front. Cut with scissors.
I had a little bit hanging over, so I trimmed the edge with a craft knife.
Glue the letters on with the craft glue – it can be any saying of your choice. I liked “Love U.”
Not only does it look cute, but it was very easy to make and took just a few minutes. Wouldn’t my Duck Tape frame make a great gift idea? I told you that Duck Tape was amazing!
