Dec 2 2009Arts & Crafts!: Boy Makes Duct Tape Hoodie
Ever wanted a hoodie made entirely out of duct tape? Me neither....TILL I SAW THIS ONE. Now it's on the Christmas list!
Over at Instructables, one young visionary has shared his technique for weaving a hoodie from these godly adhesive strips. He says the resulting garment is quite warm and impervious to rain.
Interesting, but that's not the MOST interesting thing about this post. For starters, is it coincidence the boy's pose IS IDENTICAL to the guy on the TV? I think not! Secondly, what's up with that lizard with the sunglasses? Does he really think he's cool? Because HE IS SO BEYOND COOL! Lastly, I spy an N64 controller.
P.S. Nice dino stickers on the light switch. Are they glow in the dark?! Please tell me they glow in the dark. Sleepover!

Don't you think post 43 on this past article is a real c*nt and just generally fails at life?

You fail for even letting someone's comment bother you enough to bring it up 26 Geekologie stories later.

I'm pretty sure that the gecko/lizard is actually a Gremlin...just sayin. MLIG

I agree, nothing new. You can buy different colored duct tape at michaels here (an arts and crafts store) and it comes with instructions on how to make one of those. It would be geekier if it, ya know, had geeky designs on it like the Triforce. Cause if you made it you can do any design.. psh.

I know a kid (Tristan) who made a duct tape Trench Coat that was long enough to drag on the ground behind him.
34. Pyinator - December 4, 2009 7:31 PM
HOLY SHIT I HAVE THE SAME GOD DAMN LIGHT SWITCH.
Its not stickers, they are stamped on, sadly, they do not glow in the dark.
I could take pictures :)

Hi guys! I'm the maker of the jacket and I just wanted to thank you guys for posting this here. I have no idea what Geekology is, but I am glad people enjoy my work.
The "gecko" in the poster is just a horned lizard. Nothing special (except it has sunglasses). The dino plate was made like that. Not stickers, but doesn't glow in the dark.
@20 - I made the sleeves short so I could see my watch. Duct tape sleeves don't roll up your arm.
@26 - And why am I an "EMO FAG?" Because I thought duct tape wallets have been done too many times and I wanted to make something more challenging, that even with the instructions that I wrote up, you would never be able to make? Just saying.
Thanks again everyone!
