Some of y’all know (or should by now) that I’ve been
clearing and reorganizing my studio space. Yep really it’s done and you have
(or may NOT have) seen the video, but that’s not what this post is about. Nope
It’s about the ATG (advanced tape glider) gun I got last
fall on clearance at Hancock’s Fabric for $8.00. It came with 2, that’s two
rolls of tape. I like it pretty well, not that we are BFFs but I might would
miss it, IF I didn’t have it. So anyways back to the point. . .
IF I left it out on my worktop, it was in the way; IF I
sat it off to the side OR in a drawer it was subject to the tape sticking where
I didn’t want it. There is no hole in the handle nor a hook on it with which to
hang. . . woe was me (sorta, just work with me people). Then all of a sudden a
spark {insert lightning here} Yeah it was bigger than a light bulb moment, for
me anyway. . .
Umm Velcro people, it was Velcro. Simple and in my mind a
solution to my ATG dilemma (lol word’age) I rummaged through my sewing drawer
and found a bit of it, ok I recycled it from some kind of strap, that was for
who knows what. Sooooo I cut the size I figured I needed. I went to my handy home
whatnot drawer and got out the new package of Liquid Nail (love this stuff). I
LN (Liquid Nailed) the soft side of the piece of Velcro to the side of the ATG and I LN the rough side of the Velcro on the side of my work top (island)
and VOILA {fancy word for Ta Dah) My ATG is handy, yet
outta the way and still portable without much effort. And I’m sharing this
cause it might {just maybe} work for you. Now the thing about the LN, it is permanent
(once it’s dry). . . meaning it would cause damage to the surface it’s stuck onto
IF you were to pull it off. So if you decide to use it for whatever purpose you think it
might work for you PLEASE BE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT the risk is yours and I am
in no way to blame. {use at your own risk}
But IF it works well for ya and you
are happy then ^5 for me and Way to go Jamie.
Happy Art’ing Y’all
