Step-by-Step Guide: Crafting Your Tape Dispenser

1.Prep Your Molds 🧼

First things first—clean those molds! A little soap and water will do the trick. Rinse them well, let them dry, and set them aside. A clean mold means a flawless finish, so don’t skip this step!

2.Mix Your BOOWANNITE 🥣

 

 In a mixing bowl, measure out BOOWANNITE in the exact ratio of 100 parts powder to 35 parts liquid. Pour it all in, then stir, stir, stir until the mixture is as smooth as silk. Want to add a pop of color? 🌈 Now’s the time! Mix until it’s beautifully even.

3.Pour Into the Molds 🫧

Now for the fun part—pour the mixture into your Tape Dispenser Mold first, then into the Centre Shaft Mold. Take your time and enjoy the process. This is where your masterpiece begins to take shape! 🖌️

4.Let It Cure ⏳

Here comes the patience game! Let your molds sit for about 40 minutes. While you wait, imagine how awesome your new tape dispenser will look on your desk. 📆

5.Demold with Care 🎁

The moment of truth! Gently pop your creations out of the molds. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing your work come to life. 😍

6.Sand for a Smooth Finish 🏖️ 

Once you've demolded your tape dispenser, you might notice some rough edges or slight imperfections. No worries! Use a sander and gently sand down any uneven areas. This will give your tape dispenser a smooth, professional finish. Remember to take your time—sanding is all about the details! 🕊️

7.Seal the Deal 🛡️

 

To protect your tape dispenser and give it a glossy, polished look, it’s time to apply sealer wax. Apply a thin, even layer across the entire surface and let it dry completely. This step not only enhances the durability of your tape dispenser but also gives it that perfect final touch. ✨

8.Assemble Your Tape Dispenser 🔧

Start by installing the Centre Shaft into the tape dispenser body, making sure it clicks into place.

    Carefully attach the Blade—watch those fingers! Gloves are your best friend here.

    Stick the Anti-Slip Pads onto the bottom of the dispenser. These little pads will keep your tape dispenser from wandering off while you work. 🧷

      7. Final Touches 🪄

      Now, the finishing touch—place your favorite roll of tape onto the centre shaft. Give it a whirl and see how smoothly that tape flows! You’ve just made a tape dispenser that’s not only useful but totally Instagram-worthy! 📸✨

      Creating your own tape dispenser isn’t just about the final product—it’s about the joy of making something unique with your own hands. With our molds, you’re not just crafting a tool; you’re creating a little piece of art that will brighten up your workspace every day. 🌟
