There is a group of young men out of Portland, OR that have made a name for themselves locally, as well as, internationally as simply “The Duct Tape Guys.” They’ve been in business for nine years as Ductbills and have put themselves through college having hand-made and sold over 35,000 flawless Duct Tape wallets at street fairs, markets and local shops. As they’ve grown, they’ve left their Duct Tape behind and progressed into specialized, high-end designer wallets branded db clay (literally Ductbills’ clay). Though their new eco-friendly db clay wallets are the vision of the future, they’ve developed the myDuctbills Make Your Own Duct Tape Wallet Kit as their grassroots legacy and an inspirational effort to promote the entrepreneurial spirit.

I have watched the company grow throughout the years (always silently cheering for them) and I’ve purchased their clean Duct Tape wallets every year by the bundles as a sure-fire Holiday gift for all of the Duct Tape fans in my life. Though I was disappointed when I found that they had discontinued their hand-made signature wallets, I was thrilled when I ordered one of their kits and found myself holding a Duct Tape wallet that paralleled their quality but that I had made by myself.

The myDuctbills Kit is offered in Silver, Black, Pink and/or Camo and shows up boxed in a clever cardboard envelope with a die-cut window on the front allowing you to see the raw materials that you’ll be working with. I had to laugh because the envelope was even sealed with a single piece of Duct Tape!

The kit comes with an easy to follow instructional booklet, all of the pre-cut Duct Tape pieces that you’ll need and six bonus colored swatches that allow you to create and customize your own design at the end. The pieces all arrive on peel away sticker-backing and are labeled according to the letters provided in the instructional booklet- all you need are scissors and an imagination to create your own Duct Tape wallet, perfect every time.

I had so much fun sifting through the pieces, following intently and crafting my own Duct Tape wallet that I was so proud of. The kit is truly suitable for all ages, young and old, and perfect for gifting or a family activity.
