As much as the employees at Scotch would like to deny, tape dispensers should not be disposable. These camera-shaped wooden tape dispensers posted on Pinkoi are efficient in more than one way. They serve as a stationery tool and also a decorative table topper.
The idea of making a tape dispenser in the shape of a camera may seem random, but it actually isn’t that big of a surprise. Since the dawn of time, girls have loved cameras. After Instagram patented its iconic logo of a cool camera shape, we are seeing more and more camera-mimicking tools that have nothing to do with photography. Especially for the crafty girl, there is probably nothing she loves more than a camera while working on her DIY projects that require tape.
