Technology nowadays moves in the direction of storing everything on clouds and not being dependent on physical storage devices. However, this hasn’t always been the case and there is a good chunk of everyone’s information stored on devices such as USB sticks, SD cards, and even, god forbid, floppy disks (ask your parents if you don’t know what they are).
Now, teeny tiny little SD cards were definitely efficient for their time and saved us a lot of physical space but they were also very easy to lose. With this duct tape hack you can create a little wallet for whatever loose cards you have lying around the house and store it somewhere safe and accessible.
The Grateful Dead
When you’re a fan, you’re a fan. Or perhaps when you take this amount of time and effort to craft a one-of-a-kind look for an event, you’re a bit more than just a fan. After all, when you make an outfit out of tape…it’s not likely you’ll be using it more than once – not easily, anyways.
Admittedly, they do look pretty great for being made out of tape. We sincerely hope they’ve got a layer of something like cotton on underneath all of that, though. If polyester binds heat, you can only imagine what duct tape does. It makes us too hot just looking at this picture!
The Duct Tux
Hey, you know what they say: go big or go home. This young couple decided to go…well, sticky, by creating the entirety of their prom wear out of duct tape. Amazingly, they did a really great job, because both outfits look nice and put-together.
If anything were to happen and the building was to catch fire, however, that would be a very unpleasant situation to be in. Not to mention, it looks extremely uncomfortable without adding intense heat. Let’s leave this one checked as “already done, leave it alone.”
Clean Under Your Fridge
One of the places that we neglect to clean as part of our ongoing routine is the space under the fridge or the stove. It's not like there is a health inspector who might shut down your kitchen if there are too many dust bunnies stuck underneath there but you know they're there and it's driving you crazy.
While moving the fridge and the stove might help you with your woes, it also requires heavy lifting that most of us would rather avoid. This is where this hack comes into play. Wrap a velvet hanger with a washcloth and then secure the washcloth in place with a piece of duct tape. Voila! You've got the perfect gadget to make the dust bunnies under your fridge a thing of the past.
Cheap Protection for Your Phone
We all have that one clumsy friend. Hey, sometimes we are that clumsy friend. You know the one we were talking about — the one whose phone is always chipped, cracked, or otherwise broken. They have not yet met the phone case powerful enough to protect their phone from themselves and at some point it just seems wasteful to keep buying new ones.
Thanks to duct tape, there is no need to. As this image shows, some carefully placed pieces of this magical sticky paper might just do the trick and save you the few dollars you were going to spend on a new phone shield.
