HOWTO make duct-tape roses

Here's DIYHacksandHowTos's great Instructables for making duct tape roses. The method is simple and produces a really beautiful (and romantically geeky) end-product.

Realistic Duct Tape Rose (via Craft)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Hmm. I have tape in blue, yellow, black and silver. Kinda weird roses … Yellow with silver leaves? Black roses with blue leaves? Just as well I got him a real present …

Wouldn’t a duct tape rose say, “I’ll stick by you…”?
