We used old shower curtain rings that were really simple, just a plastic circle with a notch cut out of it to fit over the shower curtain rod. My daughter likes this type best.

Duct tape comes in tons of colors & prints. My kid has about 8 kinds. For this project she used red and white tape. Tear off a strip about 6 inches long. Then tear that strip into 3-4 long strips.

My kid used zebra print tape as an accent on some of her bangles. Cut accent strips longer and thinner to add interest as you layer your tape.

In this picture you can see that this is a different style of shower curtain ring. To make it usable I took an exacto knife and cut off the small bit of plastic that stuck out.

that piece was intended to lock into a hole on the other side. I used a lighter to melt the plastic enough to close the gaps on the hole. Don't burn yourself, or cut yourself. That would ruin the fun.

No, we had the white tape already- we used to work in the sound and lighting industry and different colors of duct & gaffers tape are a staple. The red tape I think I found at a Big Lots or Five Below. You can get those tapes on line though. Google Gaffers Tape or try Uline, or Grainger for varieties. The rest of my daughter's tapes are thin rolls.

Where did you get the huge rolls of colored duck tape? Did you order on line?
