Hello Krafters!
Have you ever saved something and had no idea why? This happens
to me all the time. A few months back, I received a package in the mail and it
included some circular packaging. Usually packages have that waded wrapping paper or
packing peanuts. When I saw these pieces I knew I had to save them. Why and for
what though?
I made an ATG stand years ago. When I purchased a new gun, I
did not have a place to store it. I thought about making a new stand, but I wanted
something quick. After thinking and getting tired of knocking it over because I
would sit it upside down, I remembered the Styrofoam!
I traced the bottom of the ATG Gun and cut the Styrofoam with
an Exacto Knife. Since the gun has a slight angle, the inside is not cut
straight across. Once the hole was satisfactory, I measured the Styrofoam and
cut a strip out of the DCWV Glam Girl paper stack (it has a lot of purple in it
and it is cute). I applied the paper and cut down some mesh bling. I added that
and then several flowers (stampin’ scrappin’, I Am Roses and Wild Orchid
Crafts) to the base.
I also decided to alter the ATG Gun to coordinate with the
base. I used the same sheet of paper and measured both sides of the gun. I added
the mesh bling to both sides, but flowers to one side shown. I only altered the
one side because I like the gun to lay flat when I change the tape.
I really like how it turned out and the gun can be taken out
at any time or it can stay in the base while being used!
I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Don't forget to stop by the Scraps of Color blog for more project inspiration! Thank you all so much
for stopping by, Krafthead~
