Decorating with duct tape has been the latest craze. And since I was recently given some colorful Scotch packaging tape, I think at BlogHer, I though, Why not use that to decorate the container?

    I love this! I used funky colored duct tape to decorate my son’s lunch box for the year and he absolutely loves it. Packing tape really is a cool tool to use for art. Thanks for sharing this with us!
