Duct Tape is for Girlsby Sally Hanan

My daughter was entering her teen years when she discovered duct tape. Her first wallet was interesting, so we looked around the web for more ideas. Since then we have made ties, purses, rings, belts etc. out of many colors.

When we did a search we found some funny sites that covered household tips, prom clothes and art, but there was nothing out there that was a semi-serious, easy to navigate website for teen girls. We knew we had to do one ourselves.

Our site was easy to put together with 1&1 hosting, and right now we links to crafts, photos, supply stores, tips and books on the subject. The domain name was easy enough to come up with too www.ductapegirls.com Word of mouth gets around fast: we've had 165 visitors since we put it up in the second week of January.

The best thing about this has been having more time with my daughter, working together, coming up with new craft ideas and having a laugh. The second best thing is that now I can have a new duct tape purse whenever I design one.
