Supplies

• Empty Six-Pack Holder
• Duct Tape

Note: Have  nail polish remover handy to clean scissors when they get sticky cutting the duct tape.

Instructions

1. Cover six pack holder with duct tape. Patterned duct tape is very forgiving and makes a pretty finished project. Cut 2″ irregular pieces and lay overlapping pieces until six pack holder is completely covered.
2. Let each child create a unique carry-all so they look forward to keeping their craft supplies organized. Decorate with stickers or cut out your own shapes from the duct tape to stick on.
