Duct Tape Desk Makeover

Duct Tape Desk Makeover

I am not a DIY (do it yourself) type of person in general. I would rather buy things exactly like I want them or pay someone else to customize them. However, I got tired of looking at a desk that my husband and sons use, because the kids have really scratched it up. Since I didn’t want to purchase a new desk, I decided to do a duct tape desk makeover. (I will wait until the kids are a bit older to invest in another desk.)

It was so easy. First, I cleared everything from off the desk. Then I alternated black and blue strips of duct tape that I had purchased from Amazon.com until I covered the entire desk. The only thing that I had to be careful about was keeping the tape straight and the edges of the desk. That was all.
