Got a roll of duct tape? Then you've got hours of arts and crafts fun ahead of you with the duct tape crafts in this Howcast video series.

You Will Need

  • 1.0 ft Duct tape
  • Scissors or a knife
  • Some kind of string
  • A shoelace (optional)

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Tear duct tape

    Tear off a foot-long piece of duct tape.

  2. Step 2

    Slit

    Make two eye slits in the tape with scissors or a knife.

  3. Step 3

    Fold over

    Fold it in half lengthwise, so the sticky side is now completely covered.

  4. Step 4

    Punch holes

    Punch holes in both ends and loop a piece of string through them so you can tie the 'glasses' around the back of your head.

  5. If you don’t have any string, a shoelace will do. Or use more tape.

  6. Step 5

    Admire

    Notice how little sun the slits allow to get in your eyes.

  7. Sunglasses were invented in China in the 12th century.
