They’re not that accurate but if you have any film canisters those work great. if you have any small wooden dowels you can cut a bit off to make the cap. They work good in a pinch, or for a temporary solution. ---

film cannisters work VERY well… They are only a few millimetre’s out from the actual clippards! Try looking in your bathroom for an accurate lid on the tops of different bottles… An actual lid looks much better than a dowel.. I think Lawrence ---

I used a 1 1/4" dowel and cut the base out of 1/4" aspen using a jigsaw, then for the top I used a toothpaste cap. You can also use a cap from an empty epoxy tube (that you’ll no doubt have from making the pack) ---
