Cranford Girl Launches 'How-to' Video on Duct-Tape Trick-or-Treat Bag

Make your own bag for all your Halloween treats.


Cranford resident Francesca Pinto, 11, recently added a new tutorial video to her YouTube channel, Duct Tape and Wax.

The new video instructs viewers on how to make their own trick-or-treat bag from duct tape. (View the video above and check out Francesca's channel, here).

Pinto has her own company of Duct Tape products called, Duct Tape Dreams. Pinto started out creating wallets, which she has tons of, but has spread to creating all types of products including a locker organizer, her school science project and the latest, trick-or-treat bag.

Right now, Pinto has more than 1,600 subscribers to her channel on YouTube where she showcases how-to videos of her favorite duct tape products. The company, Westcott Brand, sponsors her and sends her products such as scissors and other crafting tools.

Westcott found Pinto through her channel and reached out to her about a sponsorship.

“There’s a ton of different stuff you can make form duct tape,” Pinto said. “That’s why I like it so much.”
