How to make a Hello Kitty Duck Tape Valentine Heart Shower Curtain

I have another in my "Duck Tape Shower Curtain Series". Have you ever read that sentence before? Not me, but I am so loving using a plain shower curtain and Duck tape to create fun holiday decoration, and this time it's even more special because I used Hello Kitty Duck Tape, so it's kind of a two-fer good thing!

And yes that is a Hello Kitty hair dryer (the latest in my Hello Kitty appliances thanks to my friend Maria!)

Okay, now on to the tutorial on how to make a giant heart. I used some packing paper to sketch out the heart. First I used a black BIC marker, and then when I was close to the shape I wanted, I cleaned up my lines with a second color BIC marker. (Fun fact about BIC markers: They don't smell!)

Lay the clear curtain on top of your template. Then, I simply cut strips of Duck Tape and stuck it down to the shower curtain using the sketch on the paper as my guide. I used smaller lengths of tape when I needed to make the curve tighter and longer lengths of Duck Tape for the long straight sections of the heart.

And since I am on the subject of baths, I thought I'd share a couple of recipes for bath soaks, one to soothe joints and muscles and one to relax.
