I purchased a silver-plated candlestick at the Salvation Army for $3.50 and gave it a funky makeover with some zebra print Duck brand tape.
I applied the tape in short strips, working from top to bottom.
The wrinkles add an interesting texture.
A glass vase leftover from a Mother's Day arrangement was begging for the "zebra treatment". Again, I added strips of tape working from top to bottom. So easy.
Here is a link to duckbrand.com.
I’m listening to Ratatat today.

Loving your duct tape ideas! My best effort was an upgraded planter…http://www.lettuceshare.com/2010/11/03/cheap-container-gardening-duct-tape-planters/
