This industrial shower curtain made from duct tape is the perfect addition to an industrial loft bathroom or even a teen boy's bathroom. Duct tape is a durable material, which is perfect for creating this shower curtain.

You can buy duct tape in a huge variety of colors, so get creative and create a colorful industrial look in your bathroom.

To make these simple Industrial Shower Curtain out of Duct Tape you will need:

Duct Tape (4 - 5 rolls)

Scissors

Ruler or tape measure

Masking Tape

The first step to making this simple Duct Tape Shower Curtain is to cut your Duct Tape. You can make your shower curtain any size that you want, but I like to make mine at least 71 inches deep and 71 inches wide. This is a standard shower curtain size.

By the way, my duct tape is 2 inches wide. This is really the best size for this Duct Tape Shower Curtain craft project, but you can always experiment with any size width you want!

Now, if you are using my measurements, then cut pieces of duct tape to 71inches long. You will need quite few of these and it is important to make these duct tape strips before you start assembling your industrial shower curtain.

Now, I like to go ahead and lay out the duct tape strip piece on a flat work surface I do not mind taping to. Now, you want to lay another strip of duct tap directly on top of this first piece. They should be sticky sides together creating one long strip.

Continue repeating this until you have about 75 strips of completed duct tape.

So, on your duct tape strips are ready you need to move to a flat floor surface to assemble the shower curtain.

Lay about 36 strips out horizontally. They should be lined up touching each other vertically. Tape each end down to the floor with some masking tape. It should look like a huge piece of lined paper.

Now, make sure to tape the ends down on each side. Only tape in one-inch form the ends. If you go any farther than you will be taping on the surface of your Duct Tape Shower Curtain.

Now, start working your vertical strips of duct tape in like you are weaving a basket.

Basically, start at the; left bottom corner, right inside of the masking tape.

The instructions seems hopelessly unclear and inadequate. How, for example, do you get 71-inch-long strips to adhere together perfectly so that no adhesive shows and it's not a wavy mess. If I can get past that, maybe I can then tackle the rest of the instructions. Thanks for your consideration.
