Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To begin this project, you’ll need the following items
Step 2: Measure and Cut
Next, measure the width of your rolling pin to determine the size of your holder. Using a saw, carefully cut the rolling pin to your desired length. Ensure that the cut is straight and even for a clean finish.
Step 3: Prepare the Rolling Pin
Start by removing any handles or attachments from the rolling pin, leaving only the cylindrical core. This will serve as the base for your tape holder.
Step 4: Trimming And Sanding
Trim the excess wood from edge of the tape storage and start sanding the surface. These step will make your tape storage smooth look professional.
Step 5: Assembly And Installing
Put double-sided adhesive tape to mount the blade cutter and install the roller using a battery drill.
Step 6: Optional: Add Dowels for Extra Support
If desired, you can add dowels to the bottom of the rolling pin holder to provide additional support for your tape rolls. Simply measure and cut the dowels to size, then use hot glue to attach them to the underside of the holder.
Step 7: Test the Holder
Once the holder is securely mounted, test it out by placing a roll of tape onto the rolling pin. Ensure that the tape rolls smoothly and that the holder can support the weight without tipping over.
Step 8: Optional: Sand and Finish
For a polished look, you can sand the edges of the rolling pin holder to smooth out any rough spots. This step is optional but can add a professional touch to your finished project.
Step 9: Final Touches
Once you’re satisfied with the functionality and appearance of your tape holder, it’s time to put it to use! Load up your favorite rolls of tape and enjoy the convenience of having them easily accessible in your workspace.
