Handheld Tools




Gluing buttons, hardware and other small objects to the ends of popsicle sticks, twigs, or pencils, makes for a great handheld tool that you can use over and over.
Bottle Caps

Create a design using hot glue on the top of a bottle cap and you've got an instant stamp! You can glue a stick to the other side to aide your stamping!
Hot Glue

Hot glueing designs on pencils, cardboard rolls, etc. make for fast and effective texturing tools.
Loop Tools

Make your own looping tools by hot gluing the round ends of paper clips to a pencil or stick.
