Scotch Color & Patterns jewelry is a [stylish and affordable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademoiselle-jules) way to spruce up one's wardrobe. At first glance, one would not assume that these are made out of duct tape, which is why they are so appealing. To create these pieces, the materials needed include duct tape, scissors, a ruler and accessories such as earring backs, barrettes, comb clips and pins that can be found at any craft store. You simply twist the tape, and then attach the accessory backs. This Brit & Co. jewelry project is ideal for those who are on a tight budget and looking for a stylish way to re-vamp.
