Many of them, well... don't.
I thought it would be cute to Mod Podge candy wrappers onto a Dollar Store pumpkin. And you know what...? It would have been really cute.... If it had worked.
The wrappers are that weird plastic-y stuff. It curls up. It won't lay flat. Some of the strips looked as if they were adhered to the pumpkin and laying flat, but then I'd turn my back on them and they'd spring up again when I wasn't looking!.
They were lifting up, curling, and in general making me cranky. (I might have even said a bad word or three.)
I did a zebra stripe pumpkin a few weeks ago, and to save the jacked up, glued pumpkin, I covered it with one of their new Duck Tape patterns that are out for Halloween.
Skulls!
Duct tape really does fix everything! (That and WD-40...)
How cool is this tape?! This particular pumpkin is on display in the boys' bathroom. (I did not take a picture of it in that setting because there are mirror issues. And also, because I would have to clean their bathroom for the picture...)
You know what else is cool...? The wonderful people at Duck Tape have put together a nice selection of 6 fab tapes for one of my reader so that you can play around with this too!!

Have you ever seen the old Canadian comedy called "The Red Green Show"? Practically every episode features duct tape used in some form or fashion; they always call it "the Handyman's Secret Weapon." So that's what we call it around here.
Can a secret weapon also be cute? Wow!
I checked out the duct tape page and I confirmed my favorite tape... the leopard one. BUT... I saw a new one that comes very close... the Hello Kitty one. Hello Kitty is pretty popular in our home, thanks to my 6 year old. Who can resist a cute cartoon kitty???

I might be a little bias, but I'm pretty sure that my favorite is the college Oregon Ducks logo. But both the pink and the regular zebra print run a VERY close second place. Thanks for a great give away!
Ok, added you to my list that I follow on twitter. Notice both you and I follow Ree Drummond... love her!!!

One more thing.... how about trying the invisible Duck Tape to do your peanut butter cup pumpkin????
My husband's college landlord would always show up to make repairs...with rolls and rolls of duck tape. I thing the whole building was held together with this stuff!
I love zebra! No wait...I love them all! We have a serious duct tape fetish in our house and have made flip flops, purses, wallets of course and flowers. Love the how-to videos!
