Kristin Hi, I'm Kristin with Duck Brand, and today I'm going to show you how to make some really cool hair accessories out of duct tape., I'm going to start off, showing you how to make a bow.. The colors I selected are leopard and neon pink. To start off. We need to make the centerpiece of the bow right here first.. So, in order to do that, you're going to take a couple of small pieces off the pink tape and then I'm going to make my bow leopard., It's real simple.. You just want to take probably about 18 inches off. Tear it fold the tape over. We have a little bit of adhesive left, so it looks like this. Next you're just going to wrap the two sides, just take them like so. And just adhere the adhesive to the other end of the tape.. So it kind of looks like a cuff.. Next, all you're going to do is take the edges of the tape and just pinch them together., There's really no right or wrong way to do it just give it a good squeeze. And you can kind of see already the shape of the bow coming out.. So we take these little pink pieces that we already tore. So you can see why we needed to do that because your hands are full holding the bow.. So you just want to take the pink piece of tape and just wrap it around the center of the bow like so.. So once you do that you have a bow. And to give it a little bit of shape, you can stick your fingers in the sides and kind of poof them. Out. Give them a little bit better bow shape. Keep that pucker.. So next we're going to take this bow and we're going to turn it into a really cool hair accessory.. First, I want to show you how to adhere this bow on to just a typical barrette clip.. So with this second piece of pink tape, you're just going to take the bow and you can see here's the open end and you're going to want the bow here.. So just stick. The bow at the end. Just leave a little bit of tape so that it hits the barrette and sticks to it, because you don't want it to fall off the barrette. And then you're going to wrap it around. Similarly, to what you did the first time., You can see how it is attached to the barrette.. So now you have a really cool leopard hair barrette.. So using the same bow, I'm going to show you a really quick and easy way to put this onto a hairband., So we're just going to take this off real simple.. So the bow is already still together and I have a blank hair band right, here. And you can even get more creative.. You can cover the hair band in duct tape, but just for time's sake, I'm just going to show you how you can quickly get this bow onto the hairband.. So you already have this tape right, here. And if you don't have the tape on it, real simple. Just take another small piece of tape: wrap it around., Stick it onto the hair band.. However, you want it on there. And there you go., You have a cool, leopard and pink hairband.. So there's really an endless option of colors and patterns that you can use your imagination and create really cool hair accessories.. You can do bows. You can do flowers like what I'm wearing on a headband., So you can really coordinate with your outfits and just make them individual to your personalities.
