I have a very avid duct-taper at my house: my 12-year-old son. It's been hard to find a book that has either been appropriate or features good projects. Although he enjoyed Ductigami, most of the projects require a lot of tape; kind of a bummer when you are buying it all with your allowance.I was really happy to find Stick It. It features a ton of projects. Many are variations such as several rings, bags, bracelets, etc. But they are creative ideas and make some really cool things. There are some very feminine things in here (a cute purse or a picture frame for example), but also some great guy things like ties and messenger bags.This book also has a spiral binding which makes the book lay open well. Definitely a good idea!My son has really enjoyed Stick It and has given this book and duct tape to his friends for their birthdays. They've been big hits. If you are a fan of duct tape or know someone who is good with their hands then consider this book. It's great!
This book has a few interesting looking projects in it, but not a lot. Wallets are cool as are some of the "other" category. I like that the wallet patterns attempt to be "universal" in size and not just fit one specific size of money. The "jewelry" projects are 99% junk. I would make maybe one of the bracelets and earrings. Some items are just a strip of duct tape folded over on itself so it's not sticky, and then twisted around another strip to form a braid. There are multiple projects that are just different themes/designs of the same idea. For example, there are two coffee cup cozies but they just have different designs cut out of duct tape. Frankly I think that's cheating if they're counted as different projects but they aren't fundamentally different in some way. And what's up with the pillows??? Who wants duct tape pillows? Maybe you can make one and give it to someone who sleeps outside a lot or it might be good for someone who wets their bed or is muddy a lot... But there are TWO to choose from! There are about 9 greeting card projects that offer maybe 3 actually different techniques. A few duct tape flowers and ornaments in there; the flowers are cute but the ornaments aren't. And really? You're going to wrap duct tape around a pencil and call that a project? Wow, thanks for the "pencil grip" project.As other have said, many of the ideas seem half-baked and not very well put together. I would expect much more for the item that actually makes it into the picture. And I would probably laugh (quietly) at anyone over the age of 12 wearing most of these things. The wallets, book covers, and picture frames all seem mostly ok. I can't return mine since I bought it for the Kindle, but I recommend buying it used. It's probably worth about half the current price in my opinion. Oh, also the projects are rated by level of difficulty from one star to four. However, the Kindle version of this book didn't display that graphic for most of the projects. Not a big deal but seemed worth mentioning.
I am a teen, and I love duct tape. I've done lots of duct tape projects before, so I looked up a book on duct tape crafts. I found this, it sounded good, so I ordered it. I attempted to make one of the duct tape bags...it was a disaster. The instructions were poorly written and looked rushed. I read the entire terms section several times, it just wasn't clicking. Why not use the full word? I wasted an entire roll of duct tape and two hours of my time for NOTHING.All in all, don't order it, unless you really know what you're doing and are just looking for ideas.
If your looking for a book to simply inspire one to create things out of duct tape, than this book is fine. But if you're hoping for more specific directions on how to construct a wallet for example, the chicken scratch like drawings in this book will not suffice.
I purchased these books for my nieces. I had shown them the possibilities of duck tape and I knew a young woman author had written this book so I got it for them inthe hopes they may be inspired like the author.It is a very interesting book. Also I would like to let customers know that you can purchase styles of duck tape at Wall Mart for $3.37 per role as opposed to at over $6 per role. STICK IT
Language not appropriate for my grandchildren ages 9-13. They approached me saying, "Grammie, this book has bad language." Also, projects were not interesting and many looked like they had been just thrown together. Illustrations (line sketch drawings) were hard to understand. Kids did better without a book
I bought this for my 10 year old nephew, but I sent it back. The projects were mostly all for girls and looked to be for teens.
This book is chock full of ideas, but I purchased it for a pretty handy 10-year-old boy who makes a lot of stuff with duct tape (and Duck tape). This book is too complicated for him, but he gets ideas from looking at the photos (which would have been a lot easier to understand if they had put hands in the pictures).
