Duct Tape Rose Pens – How To

February 3, 2015

Here is a little craft, that I have been meaning to share with you for aaaaaages. We were given some little Duct Tape rose pens by the peeps at Hobbycraft and I knew I had to make some more. Love using any “old pens” that are lying around and tarting them in relative minutes and turn them into these cute duct tape rose pens. Cute and easy to make. The roses would a nice little Valentine’s Day gift or maybe something for Mother’s Day. Please note – this a craft for older kids – as the sticky Duct Tape is a little trickier to handle…. There are step by step photos, or check out the video tutorial at the end of the post!

Duct Tape Roses Tutorial

  • Cut strips of duct tape – as shown in the first picture above.
  • Fold over, leaving a little bit of sticky strip free.
  • Round off the corners with scissors.
  • I made 14 of these stripes… and made the last 6 or so a little wider.
  • Wrap your first piece around our pen as per the 2nd picture.
  • Repeat – but make sure that the pieces overlap like petals (you can watch the video below for more info too!)
  • Once you have as many petals as you like.. move on to the green tape….

    These look great, much better than the ones I have made, mine are heavy and don’t spread out like petals should so will try your method next time 🙂
