It's time again for another Project Challenge!
This is the second month that I've participated and I have to say I am having a lot of fun with it.
This months theme is Duct Tape,
which I have to admit, threw me for a loop at first. I spent most the the month trying to figure out what to make but once I settled into an idea it was fun.
Having never made anything out of duct tape before, now I understand why all three of my girls eyes grew big with excitement when they saw me unpack a fresh roll of duct tape from my shopping bag. . . I had to hide it away for safe keeping!
Now that my project is done, that fresh roll of duct tape is fair game for whoever finds it first and I can show off what I made with it.
I found a fun shaped lamp shade at the thrift store and wrapped the whole thing with duct tape . . . .
I then crafted tiny rose buds and leaves to glue onto the frame.
I think it turned out pretty awesome.
Even hubby says it looks nice - which is BIG!
Now I just have to find one of those cool clear glass light bulbs to use and I think it will be really neat!
In case you'd like to make something similar I've put together a grouping of photos to walk you through the steps of the process.
Enjoy!
The finished product is fun and pretty!
Now it's time to catch up with the other inspiring ladies also participating in the Project Challenge this month.

Great job and very ironic that I would come across a duct tape tutorial after just using it for a Halloween costume last night! I just did a post on it if you want to check it out! I am off to see the others!
