Step 1: Putting It All Together
Pop-tart easy:
- Clean the label off the bottle if you like.
- Wrap the duct tape around the outside of the bottle. Scotch 'clear' duct tape makes for nice repairs. Keep the edges lined up as you go so the tape won't collect lots of dirt or lint.
- Choose your items and begin adding them to the kit.
- Add the mini pen, tape dispenser and/or sewing kit from my other Instructable.
- Cut an emery board or nail file to fit the bottle.
- Everything else should fit as is.
