The tiny TARDIS<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are a fan of Doctor Who<\/a>, a BBC television series that has been around longer than I have, you know that The Doctor’s vessel is, at least on the outside, a blue box. This little ornament is a tiny version made completely out of duct tape (plus the string for hanging, if you want to get technical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make one for yourself, you’ll need a good self-healing cutting mat and a rotary cutter, a pair of scissors, a sturdy metal ruler, and string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Oh, you’re going to need duct tape, too. I used several different colors to show contrast between layers, but really the only color that matters is dark blue. The windows are made of a strip of glow-in-the-dark tape, but if you can’t find that, white will do. It won’t be as interesting, but it’ll do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin by laying down strips of tape. Each strip ought to be just a bit longer than 3 inches. The excess will get trimmed down later. Each layer gets three strips, and begins about 1\/4″ in from the previous layer. The multiple layers make the walls more rigid and less prone to collapse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
