Decorated all funky and chunky with colorful duct tape, these boots were made for having fun! They are just one of more than 40 wild and wacky projects in Go Crazy with Duct Tape, which is now available online and in stores around the country. Fan response to the book and its predecessor, Just Duct Tape It!, has been so great that Patti Wallenfang, the designer, was invited to be a special guest at the 9th Annual Duct Tape Festival June 15-17 in Avon, Ohio, the “Duct Tape Capital” of the world and home of Duck Tape® brand duct tape. What a blast!
