Doing the “binding” around the handles was a bit tough–I put longer strips of tape on the straight parts, but to make the curves I kept cutting off 1/4 to 1/3 inch pieces and easing them around to get the shape I was looking for. Once the box is together, fold it flat and then mark and cut out your handles. Then I folded the sides up, bent the long parts in and taped to join.Ī tip–tape it “however” at first–it is going to shift a bit and not come out even all the time, then then if necessary go over the strips again with another piece of tape that you can place carefully to make it as even as possible. I figured I wouldn’t be able to make the print match closely, so I might as well make the joins completely different and use it as a design point! I used the thinner tape on the outside and then I reinforced it on the inside with the wider tape.īasically I just attached the sides half way down to make a “T” or cross shape. ![]() To join my pieces I chose to use the contrasting green on the print.

Included were a ton of different patterned rolls of tape–solid neons, silver, photo realistic macaroni, chevron, quilted and more. ![]() The kind folks at Duck sent me a whole fabulous tote full of their products which they sell at Walmart to play with this summer.
