Someone once asked me: what s your favorite duct tape project? Without gaff tape any hesitation I said that it was a duct tape bag. Before duct tape came into my life, I had a closet full of clutches, wristlets, gaff tape purses, totes, messenger gaff tape bags, etc., made from leather, velvet, or faux animal hide. Once I discovered the sticky stuff, my collection is almost all duct tape. Each one is unique and coordinates perfectly with any outfit I put together. gaff tape
To me, a bag is never just a bag. I take pride in constructing bags and I pore over details both big and small. There are so many variations to a bag that I begin the project by asking and answering some basic questions.
My most challenging and most rewarding bag project is the hobo bag. In the instructions to follow, I use black and hot pink zebra duct tape, but feel free to change it up. Use the colors and patterns that make you feel fabulous, because this bag is something to carry around with pride.
Cut a 21 in. (53.5 cm) strip of black duct tape and lay it horizontally, sticky side up. Fold in bottom edge in. (.75 cm). Flip strip left to right, sticky side down with folded edge along bottom. Place strip horizontally halfway on the top edge of fabric and fold over. Repeat on other fabric.

Starting at the top left corner of the bag fabric, place a 12 in. (30 cm) strip of black duct tape vertically halfway along the left outer edge. Vertically pull back the strip from the left edge towards the center. Place the left edge on the inside middle pocket 2 in. (5 cm) from the top of the tape strip. Repeat on the right side and use the same method to attach inside pocket.
Along the bottom edge of the bag measure 2 in. (5 cm) in from the left corner. Place one finger on the left edge and bottom edge, then pinch to form a triangle at the left corner. Pull the tip of the triangle in toward the bottom of the bag, and fold over at the 2 in. (5 cm) mark. Secure the triangle with a small piece of tape. Repeat step on the right side.
Cut two 19 in. (48 cm) strips of black duct tape and place them horizontally on the worktable, sticky side up. Fold over the top and bottom edges in. (.75 cm). Use these two strips to cover the outside seam. Fold excess tape over the top edge.

Cut four 1 in. (2.5 cm) square pieces of black tape and use to secure the straps at the four points on the outside front and back panels where the straps attach. Cut two 7 in. (17.75 cm) strips of black duct tape. Wrap one strip around each handle for support.
