ATG Gun holder - a DIY project

I got so tired of my ATG gun falling over that I began to try to think of something I might use as a stand for it. I was preparing dinner, used the last of my processed cheese and was ready to discard the box to the recycle bin when I had a sudden 'creative moment'!! I'm always looking for ways to use my Washi tape so I created an ATG gun stand!
 I started with my empty Nice 'n Cheesy box.


The only other supplies needed are a selection of Washi tapes, a craft knife (for cutting the notch out of the box), and scissors.


I decided to do a diagonal pattern with a variety of tapes, but you could do it any way that you wanted. I have found that Washi tape tends to pop up on the ends, so I secured the ends with some clear tape because I knew I'd be pulling my ATG in and out of the box often. But this works perfect for me...I'm so pleased with it.

Bake and Pray

I love to BAKE, I love to PRAY
Let me Pray for you while I Bake.

Phyllis, owner of 'Taste and See' in Mineral Wells, TX, wants to be able to pray for requests submitted by her customers in her bakery shop. She asked me to make a sign for her to put on an easel on her counter along with slips of paper and a jar to hold the requests. Here is what I came up with for her. It is 8 x 10 mounted on cardboard.

I've entered this project in the following challenges:
Colorful Creations September Favorite Things Challenge
Make It Monday Challenge #156
Papertake Weekly Challenge - anything goes
