Craft a Patriotic Duct Tape Tote for A Doll

Left, our Magic Attic doll Alison, carries a patriotic, duct tape tote bag to the 4th of July Picnic. 
Right, two versions of a duct tape tote bag for dolls. One has a long handle and the other 
two short handles. I have used both patriotic and unicorn duct tape to wrap recycled 
rice boxes for the craft.

       Our dolls could use a little tote bag to carry all kinds of things to a picnic site, the beach, or to spend the night at their grandmother's house. This tote craft is made from a discarded rice box and some patriotic, flag duct tape. The tape is easy to find in a hobby shop or your local hardware store.

       I recycled a clean, small, narrow box and covered it completely with masking tape to begin with. Then I cut and layer the duct tape to the outer parts of the entire box carefully.

       Then I took a longer piece of duct tape and cut this to the length that I thought most comfortable for our dolls to carry the tote over a shoulder. I then folded it length wise three times and used both tape and hot glue to secure it firmly in place at both ends of my tote's sides.

       The last step in crafting this patriotic, doll tote was to brush the interior with Mod Podge and layer some red paper on top of this to finish the inside surface neatly. I let it all dry overnight and now our dolls have a bag to carry towels, sunglasses, suntan oil etc... in to the park or beach!
