Step 1
Take a few measurements. Measure your hips and the length you want the skirt to go down from your hips. Now add two inches to both measurements. (Measurements are made bigger because it is easier to cut off than to add on when using duct tape.)
-
Step 2
Divide your hip measurement in half, and then cut a strip of duct tape a little longer than that measurement. Lay it flat on the floor (or other large flat surface) sticky side up and cut another one. Lay that one sticky side up so that the long edge overlaps the long edge of the first piece just a little. Add more strips in the same fashion till it is a little bit longer than your skirt length. What you're essentially doing here is making duct tape fabric that forms the front half of your skirt.
-
Step 3
Cut another strip of duct tape the same length. This time, instead of laying it overlapping one of the other strips, lay it stickyside down on top of the top piece of duct tape. It is a good idea to make sure you have a firm hold of the tape so that a part you don't want to touch your skirt will not accidentally become stuck to it. Put one end of your new piece of tape down and slowly smooth the rest out across the skirt. Don't worry if your ends don't meet up on either side. Just continue this until you've covered your entire sheet.

Step 4
Make another one, but this one should be at least several inches wider so it can wrap around the back. The more ample your backside, the wider the fabric should be!

But I love the looks. They range from "is that duct tape?!" to "holy crap is she on crack?!"
Looks are fun
There are so many colors of duct tape now. Even pink! how cool would that be?
I'ts ingenious. Great Job!
