Duct tape is cool. There is no doubt about it, people love it. It's a strange fascination really. At DIY Life alone we've used it to make book covers, wallets, and a no-sew bag. We've even learned how this strong, multi-purpose tape can be used to remove warts, and keep your baby in one place.
Just when you thought we'd exhausted all the wacky uses for duct tape, we've got another: the duct tape top hat. This would make a great prom accessory, or quirky addition to an everyday outfit.
You'll need a compass, cardboard, scissors, and of course the duct tape. Basically, you will make fabric out of duct tape, and assemble the hat from there. Cardboard will help keep the structure firm, but the duct tape coating ensures that it is water-proof.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not pair that top hat with a duct tape mini-skirt?
