It is held during the Father's Day weekend, because we all know how much men love duct tape. They often consider it an actual "tool" like a hammer or saw! Other than basic carpentry tasks, there are a lot of other fun things to make with decorative duct tape. Covering old books and journals as seen here is useful, quick, and fun. I am not going to list all the things I have seen made from duct tape...like bows, wallets, dresses, necklaces, hats, and a whole array of wild imaginative items.

For this little job you will find the "long point pencil sharpener" very useful. Enclosed are 2 sharpeners, one to shape the wood and the other to sharpen the lead....to a nice long point.
