Elephant Tape Despenser

Elephant Tape Despenser

Posted 2013-03-10 by Natasha Stewartfollow
Here's an easy way to spruce up a regular crafting tool, your tape dispenser. It's simple and cute, and once you're finished it's still fully functioning. It's easy enough that most kids over 5 can do it without too much help.



Time: 15 minutes
Age: 5-10s, Over 10s
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Blue or Grey Paper
  • Lead Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Googly Eye



  • Method
  • Disassemble your tape dispenser by taking out the sticky tape and the paper insert.



  • Trace around the paper insert on your blue or grey paper.



  • Cut out your traced shape, and draw two arch shaped feet each with three toe-nails.



  • Re-assemble the tape dispenser by first putting in the traced shape, and then putting in the sticky tape roll.



  • Use a small amount of PVA glue (or a hot glue gun) and glue one googly eye just above the trunk.



  • Your elephant is now ready. Of course you'll have to turn him upside down when you want to get some tape, but when you're not sticky-taping it'll just make a cute addition to the crafting desk.

  • What other animals do you think you could make out of every day (functioning) objects?
