So I figured I would start off with one of my first duct tape ventures: pants! The whole project went pretty well... until I tried to get out of them. When people see this picture:

that seems to be their first question. I guess that was just bad planning on my part, but I just cut vertically down the sides to get out and added zippers so I could wear them again. So I could bend my knees, I used the scraps of an old t-shirt in strips. And here's the step-by-step if you want to try for yourself:
1) Tape around your ankles, sticky side facing out
2) Keep making tape circles around each leg all the way up, skipping your knees, where you can stick in the t-shirt strips
3) Make a belt, again with the sticky side out, and keep making belts until you reach the tops of your legs (which should already have tape around them)
4) Add in little pieces of tape wherever necessary to fill in gaps between the leg rings and belts
5) Tape vertically from your ankles to your knees, connecting all the rings- you can alternate tape colors if you're going for the stripes look that I have
6) Tape vertically from your knees to past the top of the belts, folding the vertical tape underneath
7) Neaten up your edges, around your waist and ankles you might want to tape horizontally for a cleaner look.
And you're done! It really wasn't too difficult, other than reaching behind you and trying to keep the tape vertical haha- you might even want to ask someone else to help you. Good luck!
