Got fed up trying to find my
scortape or
miracle tape in the fallout of crafting on my desk. It always hides. Sooooo decided enough is enough and made a wee holder for it. Did a prototype to see if it would work yay and made another proper one, ooooh the original one is now holding odds and sods (odds and ends) for me to grab when I need it quickly, Double usage.
I have slots
for the variety of widths of scortape, but you can do as many slots as you wish
to suit your needs. I ran
out of the 2" roll so popped in my masking tape in there, hmmmm maybe
another slot lol. I also have a slot for
my foam tape.
You will
need patterned paper, chipboard, lots of wet glue and
construction
hinges:
3/4" score 3/8" for narrow parts,
1" score at 1/2"
and for the outside hinges 1 1/2" score 3/4"
Chipboard:
Back chipboard 4 5/8" x 8 1/8"
Front chipboard 2 1/4" x 8"
Base chipboard 6 1/4" x 8 1/8"
Sides and dividers 6" x 4 1/2"
to cut the dividers
Mark the right side
at 2 1/8" up from
bottom to top left, cut the top section away
Mark Base for dividers.
I have 2 sections for 1/8" tape (one for red sticky roll and one
for scortape) then 1/2", 3/8",
1/2", 1", 2", and a leftover space for my rolls of foam tape.
Allow for 1/8" each end for the end pieces. Rule of thumb add 1/4" on top of tape
size to give you some wiggle room.
For mine I used: 1/8"
1/2" 1 1/8" 1 5/8"
2 3/8" 3 1/8" 4 5/8"
6 3/4" 8"
Alter to suit your needs.

Attach
back chipboard a la Ashliegh Hepinstall (Scrapsbuttonsnbows) glue onto top of
the chipboard, and then additional support from construction hinges with a wee
bit extra glue in the grooves.
Attach
the left side and then the dividers, lastly attach right side.
I applied glue to the edges of the dividers and to the base
of the front chipoboard. After attaching the front chipboard I added construction hinges inside, which assists in strengthening the front piece.
To help me do that I placed the box on its back and attached
the front.
When this is completed you may have a little portion of the base jutting out, you can trim this off.
Decoration:
I used
tissue tape top of back section and top of front section to neaten it off.
I used
gilders paste in my previous one lol -
of course.
I used
Zip a Dee doodle collection pack to decorate.
Fill with scortape, or anything else you want
