I am not selling these. This is for personal use only. There are many different versions on Etsy. This is only one of many ideas I have seen. You can find retailers on Etsy or use an air hockey handle.

Someone probably already told you but Gina K has a friend lamed Chuck who made the first one for her. She named it the Chucks Tool in his honor. It was a hit with others and they asked him if he would be interested in making and selling more. He wasn’t interested in doing so. Instead, he told everyone how he made it so they could make their own or get someone to make it for them. He did recommend usingwhat you did - the pads used to move furniture. He used a furniture finial for the handle. I think your idea is inspired and I now wish I collected Yankee candles!

[@theresapillow5582]

Thanks for explaining. I’ve been out of the loop, since I’m on a buying freeze and I seen a video with one of the ladies I usually follow and was wondering the story of how this came about. And so cool that he shared how he made them, I can’t wait to make these as gifts.

[@Cheribear]

This is the first time that I have even heard of a such a tool like this. I love the idea. I love making my own products. Thank you so much for sharing such a great tool!

Was going to say the same!!!

[@jameybrown3817]

Great idea. Already made mine using Mylar wrapping paper scrunched up to fill in lid. Found all supplies at dollar tree, including lid and furniture pad and Mylar. Spent $3 and I love it.

[@gerilynne1955]

Great idea. And a heck of a lot cheaper than esty. I've seen them. Going from $15.00 up to $40.00. Great idea!

What a useful way for arthritis artists to be able to stamp again. TY

[@debschurby1574]

I think it would be great for any crafting project that needs pressure, especially as mentioned, for those who have limited mobility of their hands. How very thoughtful of you to do a giveaway, you’ll make someone’s day very special. Thanks for sharing your creative thinking!

[@ebriggs3498]

Oh my gosh, that’s exactly the way I made mine about four weeks ago. I also made one for my mom. I used a glass candle jar lid that is a little bit wider and flat. I think it came from a jar candle from Walmart. Then I went to Lowe’s and got the furniture sliders, but I got the circular ones that are slightly bigger than the candle lid. . I put the black, slick, foam side down and used E-6000 glue to glue the glass candle jar lid to the top. It works like a dream and I am getting much better stamped impressions and not hurting my wrist so much, as sadly, I am starting to develop a little bit of arthritis. I am giving one to my mom for Mother’s Day. I think mine cost a total of four dollars and that was for the slider pads from Lowe’s. Do not buy the slider pads that have the white plastic bottoms; those are for moving furniture on carpet and are the wrong kind. You want to buy the ones for wood floors.

[@thekraftykorner4189]

I think this would be a good tool to use! I’ve seen ladies with arthritis say it’s a game changer and they can stamp again. So lovely!

I'm all for upcycling, and this is a great idea! I like the idea of personalizing the lid with beads, glitter, buttons,the options are endless!

[@vikkicowie4501]

A definite winner in my eyes. I have had someone cut me wood squares so i could make my own with a crystal doornknob but they are sooo expensive. I love how yours is an upcycle.

This is a fantastic idea. The Chuckie tool is so expensive, & to be able to make my own is so much better. Thank you for sharing this.

[@sharon94503]

I made mine using an espresso/coffee tamper and stuck a heavy duty self adhesive felt pad on the bottom. Works great.

[@jodyjensen815]

Hi Nancy. I am so glad you made a video for this tool. I want to make one but I don't know how. The closest town that would have any supplies is a 1/2 hour drive for me & I don't own a car anymore lol! I think this is an awesome tool for people like me who have arthritis. I also have neck & back issues from a car accident I had at 15.. Pulling & pushing make them hurt so I think this would be a great tool to have. I'm 55 & way too young to have this kind of issues with my body! Watching your happy mail, I'm loving the hello card with all the rainbow foil on it that somebody sent you along with some paper to try. Wow! It's spectacular!

[@nancysloan6298]

I love that you showed how to make this the homemade way. I have been eyeing them and wondering how helpful they would be. My hands are getting more sore and I never thought about using a candle lid good job

[@kaniseford301]

I don't have one. I saw it on Cathy Zielske's KZbin and I have wanted one ever since because it is a grand idea. I believe her friend, Debbie made it for her. Having arthritis, I was impressed when Cathy said it was great for her hands. And, what a great preventive for the younger set. Thank GOD, I just came into possession of a top, like the one you used. There was no bottom, it was in some junk someone was throwing away and I picked it up with the thought, "Huh, what can I use this for? " Well, I didn't know, but now I know. I am blessed! Thank you for this great idea and all the other DIY ideas you pass on.

[@bjuracek21]

I took apart most of my wooden stamps and put them into stamping foam and for some reason I saved most of the wooden blocks. I picked a larger one to use as a base for my "Chucky" tool. I love your idea of the furniture feet felt for the bottom! How perfect! I like your candle jar lid as a handle, I think that would be comfortable in my hand AND I like how you glitter- bombed it!!!! 😊 Very clever Nancy!!!!!

[@nicolepool1392]

Love this! I have been asking my husband for months to make one for me with a door knob I’ve purchased. But I can do this on my own!!!!!! Very excited! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@brendajones7756]

I got a candle from the $tree that looks like those old fashioned glass door knobs. I had a heavy box that I cut a circle out of and used crazy glue and glued to the "top" of the lid and put my heavy flat iron it and it works perfectly.

[@ashleysokal]

I love the idea of making your own! Really makes you decide if you actually need one or not! Yesterday I could have used one because I was rubbing my misti lid with my hand!

I’ve been using an Expo magnetic dry erase eraser as a ‘buddy’ and it works fabulously! The magnet adds weight and it is big enough to go on the smaller and larger Mistis! Tfs ❤️

[@deewilkes4727]

Brilliant idea. Thanks so much for the instructions on how to make them. I’d seen these but thought they were very expensive for what they are. Yours looks great. I think I’ll need to give this a try. Bless you.

[@nans969]

I've been using an Air hockey paddle. I like this idea. I just decluttered and threw out a couple of those lids. I know I have a few more somewhere. For the glitter inside, nail polish will be less messy than glitter. Dollar tree has a huge assortment of glittery polish. Then use a top coat of clear.

[@sherribaldwin8748]

Glitter nail polish is a great idea! 👍

[@chelseam7407]

If you apply the glitter nail polish to a cosmetic sponge and dab it onto your surface (in this case the glass, but it definitely works on nails too), you can get a much more uniform application of the glitter!

[@annefranceselder9399]

What great idea. I had seen people using the tool on their platforms and wondered where they got them from. I have arthritis in my hands and I can see this being a real help, plus I love to repurpose items we would usually put in recycling. Thanks for the great idea. Hugs xx

I can see it being very beneficial specially for people like me that have had multiple surgeries for carpal tunnel and have arthritis in my hands. Would love to try it. I stay clear of stamping because I always mess up even with a stamping platform. Don't ask me how. I know it kills me to put the pressure on the platform and always topple the platform lol.

I’ve thought of it as an “extra”. However, the more I see them being used on videos, the more I consider it. It helps to keep the wrists in a more neutral position, and having carpal tunnel, neutral is good (no losing feeling or experiencing tingling in neutral!) Thanks for the tutorial; I didn’t realize they could be that easy to make! 😊

Oh that's cute! I have been searching for the lids so I can make one for a while now. I knew they'd be easy enough to make and customize, and much cheaper. I know people make candles somebody's got to sell them. I have a lot of trouble with my hands, so this would help a lot! I may have found one place that sells them but I have to check. I've been planning on trying to make one but I have no jar candles. I even went to my Dollar tree because somebody in a hall had found jar candles with those kinds of lids at the Dollar tree but our Dollar tree stinks and they didn't have any. That is so super sweet of you to give one away and the extra glitter pack that is awesome!

[@TheInkinGardenSpot]

When I first saw these being used, I thought it was a great idea because it is hard to get even pressure sometimes. I even looked at these on Etsy and they were too much, especially when I knew how easy it would be to make your own, IF you had a glass lid. I didn't have anything that worked and didn't want to buy a glass jar and lid just for the lid, so I just started using a dry board eraser, but I would love to have one that's all sparkly and glittery and I absolutely loved your idea about putting beads or something inside. I would like to try glitter and shells. Funny fact, I even emailed Sweet Petunia, makers of the MISTI to see if they were going to create their own version, they said probably not. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win a little DIY kit. I had not thought about the felt for furniture, so thank you for that little nugget.😉

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Wow, this one is going to be super gorgeous. I do have made one (kinda) using a wooden spool, but it is to light weighted. So yes your video is very much helpful. Now I have to look out for such a glass cup. We don't carry these candles in the Netherlands. I do have artritis so it will be way better. I have tried a dry board eraser but that is not quite right, for the hands. Anyway, just wanted to say.... Awesome job Nancy!!
