Getting Started

Within any profession, one requires tools. This is no different. A duct tape artist requires three main items. Thankfully, none of which are expensive.

1. Duct tape! How can one make art if they have no paint? (duct tape in this case) Personally, I purchase my duct tape at Walmart, but if you can't get to Walmart, there are some nice deals on the Internet.


2. Razor knife! These make it easy to create nice, professional looking designs. (Be careful, these are SHARP!) Home Depot sells these knives for a modest, pleasing price, but again if you don't have access to a Home Depot, check the Internet.
   
3. A cutting board! Razor knives make gigantic scratches that will ruin any table... So, use a cutting board so you can keep your tables! Makes perfect sense eh? I prefer and advocate stone cutting boards because the duct tape can solidly adhere to the surface but can easily be removed. (The bigger, the better!) Home depot sells granite and other stones, but I'm sure you can order a square foot or two from the Internet, or just experiment with your own cutting boards!

So, go out and invest in some tools so you can join us when we start out first project!
