Directions

rectangle cut out of a piece of poster board

Step 1

Cut a 26 in. x 6.25 in. rectangle from poster board.

Strips of colored Duck Tape layerd on the rectangle from previous step so that it resembles a rainbow

Step 2

Cover one side of the poster board with Duck Tape® to create a rainbow pattern. Layer each tape color, leaving 1.25 in. of each showing, and wrap excess tape around the edges of the poster board.

Matboard taped as described to the ends of the rainbow patterned poster board

Step 3

Cut two 8.5 in. x 5.5 in. rectangles from matboard, and secure to the reverse side of the poster board with tape. Apply tape on only 3 sides of each piece of matboard, taking care to leave the short sides on the ends, un-taped.

Step 4

Cover the reverse side of the poster board with strips of Duck Tape to create a rainbow pattern, taking care to create a mirrored reflection of the first side. Cut away excess tape instead of wrapping around the edges and leave two open pockets on the shorter sides of the rectangle—these pockets will enable you to attach the base in Step 6.

Step 5

Create the base of the rainbow by cutting a rectangle measuring 5 in. x 11 in. from the remaining poster board. Score and fold 2 in. from each of the shorter sides as shown.
