Duck Tape treat jar

Posted on April 3, 2018

We were recently sent a bundle of Duck Tape to craft with. There are some gorgeous colours which are perfect for Springtime crafting. Last week we decorated some plastic eggs with Duck Tape washi tape to make a cute Easter display which just happened to double up as a fun Easter toss game, too.

We love to craft with Duck Tape and have an endless list of projects we want to make with it. With a house full of guests over the Easter weekend I wanted to make some last minute gifts so came up with this cute little Duck Tape treat jar.

How to make a Duck Tape treat jar

There has been an Easter theme to my crafting lately, but you could make this Duck Tape treat jar for any occasion. I gathered some Duck Tape, an empty jar and an Easter egg shaped cookie cutter.

Duck Tape can be a little tricky (and sticky) to cut through so I cut a small square of paper and placed this on my self healing mat. Then I placed the Duck Tape over the paper, turned it over and used my cookie cutter to cut the shape out.

This meant I didn’t cover my cutting knife with sticky stuff.

When I had removed the egg shape I applied my Duck Tape to the glass jar, making sure the shape was on one of the flat sides of the jar. I cut the tape so it slightly overlapped at the back, and smoothed down any edges where the jar tapered slightly.

The cut out shape gives a view of the treats inside! I filled my jar with chocolate eggs but you could easily make this jar for any homemade gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day or a Christmas gift.
