My husband, Mr. Aesthetics, once reupholstered the seat of an old rocking chair with duct tape. Worked great for a while, but then the ends started to curl up a bit and would stick firmly to our butts when we tried to haul ourselves out of the chair. He uses it to attach plastic sheeting on the windows of our drafty old house every winter for insulation, too.

I nursed the kiddie pool through one more summer plugging the leaks with duct tape. I've also hemmed marching band pants and various costumes as well.

I had heard of the duct tape strapless bra, too, not brave enough to try it. Sharon
