A wonderful non-fiction book that is written for teens by a teen! Schiedermayer writes about craft ideas using duct tape. She includes instructions for wearables like ties and skirts, to functional organizational pieces. After reviewing several books about crafts with duct tape Schiedermayer’s book stands out as the most readable, useful, and creative. Got Tape has great visuals as well as step-by-step directions. This is an excellent resource for getting teens to consider hobbies beyond video games and thinking creatively! Highly recommended.

This is a really good reference book for creative projects using duct tape. However, hard to come by your own copy as it is also out-of-print.
