• Once, while babysitting, I used little strips of duct tape to fasten a disposable diaper when the little adhesive strips didn't work. (parents were surprised, but as Vermonters, they appreciated the resourcefulness)
• Many, many repairs to canvas Converse Chuck Taylors
• Repaired MAJOR holes in a ski bag which has survived several plane trips since
• Made DOZENS of ski ties (to hold a pair of skis together, base-to-base... one loop with the sticky side out covered with another loop, sticky side in)
• And my favorite...last Halloween, I constructed a scale-mail shirt entirely out of old CD-ROMs and duct tape...
