Custom Notebooks with Duck Tape + $100 Giveaway

This post brought to you by Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.
Its back to school time! Are you getting those kiddos ready for another successful school year? I have two little boys headed to preschool this year. Let me tell you, they are excited!! We do preschool at home with a few other moms in the neighborhood and we rotate houses each week. I wanted to be a little more organized with preschool this year, so I bought some notebooks and Duck Tape® to create some stylin custom notebooks to keep my notes and lesson plans in.duck-tape-edited2Duck Tape® has a huge assortment of colors and patterns of tape. I had a lot of fun going through all their different products and designs. You can buy Duck Tape at Walmart in the paint and craft departments. They have a huge display that you can’t miss!

How to Make Easy Custom Notebooks with Duck Tape

All you need is:

  • notebooks
  • scissors
  • Duck Tape® in different colors and widths

I love Duck Tape®’s new sheet tape. The mustaches totally cracked me up! I cut the mustache sheet into diagonal lines.

Then applied the different tapes in a pattern at an angle acrsos the notebook. Then used scissors to trim off the excess.

When I was all done covering the cover, I went back over and trimmed off the excess evenly with the cover.

Then I put a couple strips of pink tape over the binding to cover the edges of the tape.

    We hit the jackpot at Michaels finding…..One Direction duct tape. My 12 year old daughter was thrilled. Now I have something to use it on. Thanks

    If I’d known more than 3 days in advance that my son needed a windowed, binder-ready pencil bag for school (up until then, we’d been told he needed a pencil box), I might have tried to do a funky tape covered bag. As it was, I was just glad to find what we needed the day before school started. Oh well. Next year… or when this one tears! :)

    I would love to decorate a journal cover so I could journal with my son about his daily activities.

    My preschoolers have to bring a sheet and blanket to school for naptime. I think I could make a really cute pouch with Duck Tape to transport and store their bedding.
