Will hot glue hold fabric onto the outside of duct tape?

I have some duct tape crafts I want to cover in fabric. Anyone had experience with this?

   It might work temporarily but I would try using mod lodge because it goes on before and after and it will cover your project instead of only where you line the glue.

   I quit using hot glue years ago. Here are the problems you will have with it.
   On a warm day it will unstick. – on a hot day it will melt.
   Does not stick to crystals or polished rocks. Also does not stick to stained glass.

   I figure that since it does not stick to the smooth surfaces of crystals and polished rocks, that it will most likely not stick well to duct tape.

   I do know that Goop is great at attaching fabric to things.

   Here is an example of me using goop with crystals

   I do also suggest that You cut little short slits in the duct tape. The glue will go through the slit and get a better hold.

   I hope that I have been helpful
