Ductigami: The Art of the Tape
It's back -- with more tape and more 18 projects using the do-it-yourselfer's not-so-secret weapon.
NASA has a written policy that requires every space shuttle mission to carry at least one roll of "the gray tape." Duct tape now comes in designer colors, and for the color-shy there's a transparent version. The once-humble tape has hit the big time, and now there are duct-tape clubs, competitions and websites. In the words of Red Green, head possum on the PBS-syndicated The Red Green Show, "Spare the duct tape, spoil the job."
In this instructive, entertaining and downright funny how-to book, Joe Wilson shows how to rip, cut and fold ordinary duct tape to make 18 amazing projects,
Wallet Barbecue apron Lunchbox Tool belt Cell phone holder Baseball cap TV chair caddy Raingear for pets Toilet roll cover Halloween masks. Ductigami is more fun than a crossword puzzle, more useful than a welder's certificate, and more durable than a rechargeable battery. With duct tape it's easy to create a remarkable personal gift for any occasion.

Some of the projects are outdated now, but the book is still very useful and clever.

Neil and I got this book for my brother for his birthday, and I just borrowed it for some ideas for some kids at school. Long story. Anyway, you have to love a book that tells you how to make a toolbelt out of duct tape. How perfect is that?

"Ductigami" gets you going; choose a few projects to get started, and you don't want to stop! "Grip, rip, and flip!"

Not really any projects that I would make in here unless it was for a gag gift. My son wants to make the wallet, which is really the only truely useful item in this book.

It's amazing what you can do with this stuff. I think I'm going to try the wallet and the apron.
