5. Make a tape of custom sculptures
Nowadays, artists often use tape for this purpose. Some, for example, the famous Mark Janis, made from adhesive tape human figures in natural size. For this purpose, a man wearing tight clothes you do not mind mess, and then wrapped with plastic wrap on top of the fine to tape does not stick directly to clothing and glued on top of scotch. Artists recommend pre-cut small strips of tape length of 15-20 cm and gradually stick them on the body of a "model" in several layers. When the sculpture is ready, the dense layers of the tape carefully cut from the body of the "model", and then re-connect in places cut by means of the same tape or glue resistant. Of course, similarly to wrap tape of any thing


6. Manicure
To do this, take the tape medium tack and nail polish. Start by checking how well the tape is held on the nail - it is important that it is easy to come unstuck.

8. Invent
graphene Graphene - an ultra-thin layer of carbon just one atom thick, and at the moment is the most durable of all materials known to man. Due to its thickness, it is crystal clear. But even more interesting it surprising properties and the manner in which the material was first obtained. To create graphene its discoverers Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov needed tape.

Researchers took a pencil, graphite stuck to the tape, and then unstick it - on the left side of the adhesive layer of graphite one atom thick. Next tape was dissolved by chemicals, and the result is a graphene - the experience can easily be replicated in the home.
