Duct Tape has came a long way since the basic grey we grew up on.  What’s the saying?  Duct Tape can fix anything?  Plus, it’s even better when you are able to fix and make things colorful by using  Duck Brand Duck Tape!

To  cover a composition  book,  apply   Duck Tape  along front of the book then bring it around the inside of the notebook and trim off excess.

Since I was making these Duck Tape Covered Composition Books personalized for my daughter, I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out letters to adhere on the the font of the books for her classes.  I know, the word Writing is spelled wrong,  Ha- I just wanted to see if you were paying attention!!
