Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my first attempt at a duct tape corset. I’ve made duct tape flowers, hats, and even a turtle but the corset was a total blast! The instructions, from Kandigurl @ Livejournal, are SO simple to follow even I couldn’t mess them up.
As this is my first EVER corset, its got some kinks to work out but it came out wonderfully for my first ever attempt at it.

Wow! this is great, ive always wanted to make something out of duct tape. Does it get hot and sweaty when you wear it?

Duct tape does NOT breathe, so it does get hot, but it molds to your body as well. I think the next go round I may use a thin fleece or cotton as the under lining (versus the called for trash bag) to see if it’s a bit better at the sweating. Definitely give it a try! It was fun to make, even if it isn’t perfect. I used about 2 rolls of tape & the little bit of red for the contrast but its really easy & not expensive. :)
