  • re-patch a hole
  • wrap it around a can to make it super strong against wear and tear
  • keep a box or lid closed tightly for a long time by wrapping it all the way around the box a couple of times
  • reinforce and decorate book binders (usually another color other than gray)
  • decorate any other hard objects (again, usually some other color other than gray, and yes, there are different colors of duct tape)
  • create a wallet, or any other useful object.
  • waterproof shoes by wrapping duct tape around securely
  • secure anything to anything, such as the toilet seat (down for women, up for men)
  • waxing your legs
  • trussing a chicken - but use ONLY oven-ready duct tape that you bought in a kitchen store.
  • Seal windows and doors at times of war.
  • Seal holes and cracks in pipes.
  • Preserve a jigsaw puzzle ... from the back, of course.
