This is dedicated to my Grammy Yocom, who taught me

to learn through play and let me carve soap when I was three.

And my Pop Yocom, who told the best stories... ever!

They say it takes a village to raise a child... well, ap-

parently it also takes one to write a crafting book.

There are so many people that made this all pos-

siblethe first being all the folks at Zest Books, who

ended up with sticky fingers themselves! To Hallie

Warshaw, who decided to give us a chance, and to

Ann Edwards, who guided us every step of the way.

Ann, you stuck with us through it allwe never could

have done this without you.

I want to thank Tapebrothers.com, who actually spon-

sored the contest that gave us the basic blueprint

for writing this book. To all the folks who entered the

contest and to our winners, thanks so much for your

creativity and sharing your talents so readily.

To all the kids and adults who have attended my

classes at libraries, schools, and private homes... you

guys were the inspiration who made this possible!

Thank you for letting me teach you, and in turn, teach-

ing me more than I could ever learn on my own.

To photographer and friend Nano Visser, who helped

to photograph all the new projects we created for

the book. We all feel intense gratitude to you and

the girls! You are, in a word, an angel, although the

girls are the ones with the wings.

To all our amazing modelsMichael Jensen, Sarah

Jensen, Antonia Lawrence, Marianna Lawrence, An-

nette Molina, Grace Visser, Nora Visser, Maya Zakhour,

Hanna Rumsey, and baby Umi the monkey. You made

our creations pop!

To Jill Grossman, who believes in me and my crew so

much that she makes us believe too. You give us the

strength to carry on each day, and I will never have

words enough to thank you for your support. To Angie,

for giving up her living quarters; Melissa, for the brown-

ies; Connor, for his antics; and Chase, for not making

fun of his brother on camera.

To Molinita who kept our office and the party-plan-

ning business running while we were all off writing a

book. You are our anchor! Wed be adrift without you!

To Simone Chavoor, who took on the daunting task of

editing the crafting section for our website and built the

foundation for our DIYsonly now do I realize how hard

it is to turn pictures and ideas into understandable,

descriptive words.

Most importantly, I need to thank my family. Mom and

Dad, thanks for all your support... for letting Freda

and I sit on your living room floor making thousands of

house points, for taking those early morning calls to

talk me down from the ledge, and for always believ-

ing that your kids were special, even when we didnt

deserve such thoughts. For my unbelievably talented

sister, who not only has the ability to understand my

hand motions, badly sketched blueprints, and overly

long explanations, but has the talent to turn all that

into these amazing works of beauty. Who has spent

countless hours photographing, designing, and rede-

signing projects, and done so without complaint (as

long as she is fed at 2 hour intervals).

And lastly, but most earnestly, my husband Scott...

who handled and managed every detail of this pro-

cess without ever cracking or getting grumpy. Who put

in so many late night hours cataloging photos, cor-

recting my descriptions, and making sure that Ann got

everything she needed. You are the most amazing

man in the world, and I do consider myself the luckiest

person alive to be married to you!

INTRODUCTION

I

t used to be that duct tape came in only one color: silver. Mind you,

this was not a pretty, shiny silver; rather, it was a dull sort of battleship

gray. Back then, duct tape wasnt a very exciting craft material at

all, but people did appreciate some of its other amazing qualities: The

tape was superstrong, supermalleable, and supersticky. You could basi-

cally use it to hold any two objects together. People used to say, If it

moves and it shouldnt, then duct tape it.

Throughout my years as a party planner specializing in craft projects, I

first witnessed, then joined, a duct tape revolution. It began slowly and

simply with just a few colorsblack, white, and red. Then blue, yellow,
