Directions
Step 1
Cut the zipper part off your sandwich bag. Leave about 1/2 inch of bag attached to the zipper part. Do not throw away the rest of the bag.
Step 2
Make 2 pieces of Duck Tape(R) fabric that measure as wide as your bag and 4 in. tall.
Step 3
Using a strip of Duck Tape(R), adhere the piece of Duck Tape(R) fabric you made in step 2 to the zipper from step 1. Repeat for the other side with your second piece of Duck Tape® fabric.
Step 4
Fold a single piece of Duck Tape(R) over each of the open edges of the supply case to close them up. Trim any excess tape.
Step 5
For the I.D. holder cut a rectangle out of the remaining plastic bag that measures 2.5 in. tall by 4 in. wide.
Step 6
Cut a piece of Duck Tape(R) that measures 1 in. tall and 4 in. wide and fold it over the top of the plastic rectangle from step 5. Use 3 more pieces on the sides and bottom to attach it to your case, keeping the top open.
Step 7
If desired, adhere 3 more strips of a different color Duck Tape®, leaving a little of the previous color Duck Tape(R) showing. Trim any excess.
Step 8
Create a tab to add to your supply case by cutting off a 5 in. long piece of Duck Tape®and folding it over on to itself lengthwise.
Step 9
Cut a 1 in. slit in the side of your supply case with a craft knife and insert the tab. Use a small piece of tape on the inside to hold the tab in place.

There is so much that you can do with duck tape now! There used to be literally two kinds when I was smaller + it was to fix things!
Ah I really like this idea! You can have some much fun with duct tape!
That’s a great idea. I don’t the Duck tape brand as I live out of US but I know how creative children can be with tapes in general.
I love this creative craft! It seems so perfect for a rainy day activity.
This sounds like a fun activity! Duct tape is so useful isn’t it – you can repair pretty much anything with it!
I’ve always wanted to try a duct tape craft! I think Sawyer is *almost* old enough. We’re always sure to keep rolls around just in case, and I’ll have to check out the duck tape brand (such a cute name!).
This is such a fun project! There are so many great Duck Tape prints available, it’s easy to find one for anyone.
What a fun idea! Sounds like a craft my boys would enjoy. You can do almost anything with duct tape!
I love how easy it is, and how inexpensive it is to do! Now I gotta find some use for duck tape
