Eden Kink - Duct Tape Flogger DIY May 18, 2011 8 PM EST

Contributor: VieuxCarre VieuxCarre
It's that time again, folks, and on May 18, 2011 at 8 PM EST we're bringing a bit of fun to our kink discussion. Our discussion will focus on how to properly throw a flogger so as to not harm your partner and the harm that it can cause if not handled with care. How will you practice this if you don't have a flogger, you might ask? Well, worry not. During the discussion we will be making our own floggers out of duct tape. Trust me, duct tape hurts if thrown right!

You will definitely need some materials and they're relatively inexpensive:

1 (or two if you want to make matching floggers) dowel rod measuring about 7-8"
1 roll of duct tape
1 pair of good scissors
1 ruler that measures about 22"
1 piece of sand paper

In regard to the dowel rods, if you purchase them from a hardware store and choose not to get them cut in store, you're going to want to have a saw handy to do it yourself. Most hardware stores will cut the rods for you (I know Home Depot did for me). With the duct tape, I'd suggest purchasing solid color tape as opposed to that with anything printed on it. The print tape costs more and doesn't have as much to it as a solid color. If you want a multi color flogger, purchase more than one roll.

I hope you can join us for our discussion on May 18, 2011! Mark your calendars for this discussion so you don't miss out!

Man, that sounds really cool. I remember trying to make things out of duct tape when I was in high school, but I've never tried something so complex before. I'm excited to learn how!

Ya this sound cool, this reminds me of all the Mythbuster episodes showing all the thing s you can do with duct tape, build a boat build a bridge and now make a flogger...By The Power of Duct Tape!

This sounds fun! I hope the sandpaper is to smooth the dowel rods and not for the falls.

About what diameter dowel rod do you suggest, VieuxCarre?

I think mine are 5/8 inches, but I went by how the rod felt in my hand. When you go to purchase the dowel rods, grip them to see if they are too small or big for your hand to hold

Also, the sand paper is for the dowel rods to smooth out the ends after they've been sawed

Cool! I'm not usually great at making things, but I'm going to try my best to make one of these floggers

Drat! I'm probably going to miss this because I'll be on the ambulance that night. I'll try to stick my head in if we're not running our tails off!

This sounds awesome. Hopefully internet out here in BFE will hold up long enough for me to stick my head in and listen in.

It's all good! You'll be able to come back and see what all we talked about and get the instructions on how to make your flogger!

This sounds like fun. Unfortunately, I won't be present for the live discussion. I will definitely read through the thread after the fact.

Sweet! I think I'll still be on the road during the live discussion but I will of course be coming to catch up. I'm glad you're going over flogging safety, too, because the last time I watched a bunch of newbies get excited over floggers I couldn't bear to watch the tangled mess of fail that ensued.

I almost stopped at a leather store to pick up some suede for falls instead of duct tape, but I wound up with the materials you suggested. I might be in and out for the actual discussion, but I'm glad you're hosting it!

I haven't practiced with leather yet, but I promise as soon as I do I'll be hosting a discussion of the sort

This is a test post to make sure that my photo posting works properly Also, this is a peek at what you're going to have when the meeting is done, though I want to make a note that it does take more than an hour to make a duct tape flogger depending on how many falls you want to have and such. This is a good reference guide, though, for you to come back to as you make your toy

I'm going to try to fix the picture function here...it seems as though I'm not able to get my picture links to work. IF I can't get the pictures uploaded I'll link you all to the site where I learned to make the floggers. Bear with me everyone!
