I love crafting with Duck Tape®! One of the great things about Duck Tape® is that you can create a super-durable fabric with it, and create just about anything you can imagine. Anything you can sew, you can Duck Tape®! I love this Fox backpack I found over at the Duck Tape® website — did you know they have hundreds of Ducktivities there for you to be inspired by?

You forgot one of your materials: A 12-pack of Duck Brand® Tape Sheets. They’re 8.65″ by 10″, so you’ll need at least four. Yes, Walmart has them.
Or you can make sheets of any size by interweaving regular Duck Tape. Which I’d probably do because I’d want a backpack bigger than a 9.5″ by 12″ binder. But kids will love the smaller sizes.
