The Shady Porch: Duct Tape Flowers with Feathers & Pearls

Duct Tape Flowers with Feathers & Pearls

Today I was inspired to use my new duct tape! Check out all the neat prints you can get now. If it's possible, duct tape just got cooler! I am sure some Senior is going to make a really awesome prom gown out of this stuff!

Anyway, I ran across a tutorial showing how
to make flowers from duct tape. While working on the flowers, I thought this would be the perfect craft to use to restyle some knock-off Kate Spade handbags I found at our local Goodwill store.

I embellished the duct tape flowers with feathers and pearls to help bling-it-up. I love them! I also added alligator clips to the back so you can clip them to your handbag, hair, backpack, boots, and lapels...anything, really. You are only limited by your imagination.
