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.

    My little one isn’t in school yet, but is starting to have fun playing pretend – especially food stuff. I would love to make some duct-tape covered plates (they’re old and scratched) for her to play with.

    Oh, what a wonderful project!! I have never used the duck tape sheets before, but now I see what potential they have!!! I would use a Wal-mart GC to buy art supplies to have on hand for my little 3yr old Granddaughter. Her Mom loved having free rein to explore art when she was young and I would love to have supplies to give her to have at home and to have on hand here for the little one to learn with. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
