This is part of a series where I've experimented using different types of tape and material to build clothes for our photo shoots.
I was nervous going into this because it was one of my very first attempts with these materials and had a short (1hr) amount of time to work. The time is actually plenty if you have practice.
Tips on doing this type of work
- Get special scissors. There are scissors made for tape cutting that don't get gummed up. This will save you a ton of effort.
- Different brands have different widths and you can order from amazon. You want to pick a width that fits your project instead of using multiple strips - it looks MUCH cleaner
- There is a technique to getting nice clean lines and not having the tape "pinch". If you do work like this and it doesn't go great the first time, keep practicing. It does take some practice.
