This is a very budget friendly method for the following problems:
--I want to make a corset/costume, but I don't have a dress form. Just to give you an idea of the potential here, I've included a photo of a duct tape full body cast my friend, artist Deb Winslow, made in order to fit armor for a masquerade ball we attend. --I want to re-upholster this prop, but I don't want to massacre the original to get a pattern. --I have a cool object I want to duplicate, but I don't have the skills/ materials/ workspace to do casting and molding. Mold making putty works fine for small objects, as in my Glitter Grenade Soap Ible, but larger objects may be best served by this duct tape treatment. I've used this process in my custom works many times and imagine it'll be helpful to a lot of you out there too! Read More Licensed under "CC BY-NC-SA"

Although the design is extremely simple, and easy to make, the "Penny Racer" is an entertaining toy that can be spun like a top (almost), used to play games, and raced with other Penny Racers. Made with $.03 and some hot glue, the Penny Racer is a fun pocket-sized entertainer. One of the first big toys among American boys was the marble. Then there was the Hot Wheel. Now I hope to transform the American boy's world, by giving him an equally fun racer, that can be made at home! Enjoy! Read More Nice cup coasters can cost upwards of $100!
