It’s so hard to shop for moms because moms have everything already. They always say they don’t want anything, but you know you’ll be in the doghouse if you don’t make some attempt. Of course, I like DIY gifts because they’re more personal, and just as importantly, mom can’t put a mental price tag on it to compare with what your siblings gave.
This Mother’s Day, may I suggest giving mom some attitude…Craft Attitude! Here’s a DIY journal/notebook that is super easy to make, thanks to a few pieces of duck tape and Craft Attitude printable film. My new favorite material to apply Craft Attitude to is now duck tape. That’s because I don’t need to use a glue stick or spray adhesive, or any adhesive at all – I just apply the Craft Attitude on the sticky side of the tape. It goes right on like buttah. I start with white duck tape and then create a larger sheet of it by taping strips to each other. I created a design for the cover that says “Mom is Wow upside down.” I think that’s a compliment.
After the DIY photos, enter to win a fabulous Craft Attitude prize package. The lucky winner will receive all eight Craft Attitude products: Shoe Attitude, Scrapbooking Attitude, Wood Attitude, Jewelry Attitude, Decor Attitude, Magnet Attitude, Flower Attitude and Quilt Attitude. (That’s a lot of Attitude.)
Also, I’ve got a bunch of my crafting friends contributing Mother’s Day projects using Craft Attitude in the weeks ahead, so look out for them. April 22: Gloria Uhler. April 25: Jaderbomb. April 29: Megan Elizabeth. May 2: Cyn Gagen. May 6: The Graphics Fairy. May 9: Allison Kreft Abad. So be sure to check out their projects (and their giveaways).

Its actually DUCT tape not DUCK tape… Sorry btw. Im in love with this Project! Its fun, easy and dont take that much time 🙂
I guess I should have specified that I used “Duck Tape” as in the Duck Tape brand of duct tape, which has the picture of the duck in the logo. That’s what they sell at my local crafts store.
this is so cute I think I’ll make one for me and one for my mom.
Thanks for the instructions. A lovely gift idea….for all occasions.
Very pretty and easy to do gift idea.
I am so looking forward to trying projects with Craft Attitude. If it weren’t for people like you spreading your ideas I would be clueless!
Great project!
love this project, going to need to try this product, love how you used the duck tape on this project. I love working with duck tape
Thank Heavens for people like yourself Jonathon. You could put all that product in front of me and half an hour later I’d still be sitting there wondering what to do.
This is so cool, I’ve just started learning to do these crafting journals! A new start up to add to my art work & photography.
Just as amazing as you are, I want to be you when I grow up creatively.
Have some of the products and love them.

Have not used it yet but it looks wonderful. Would love the prize package to get started
How clever the new products are! And the tutorial is easy to follow..as I’ve come to expect from you Jonathan. Guess I’ll have to settle for just one “entry point” as I only do email. Thanx for providing an avenue for those of us old fashioned web surfers/crafters. I knew you wouldn’t abandon us. Please continue to inspire us as only you can do.
Cool!! I haven’t seen or heard of this product before.
You could probably even decorate your hula hoop!!!
Wow, great ideas! And craft attitude looks like so much fun – I’m excited to check out their stuff!
This turned out so pretty Jonathan!! I love your Duct Tape technique, I’m going to have to try that for sure!!
