Ok stupid question what is FSC?

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!

What an awesome idea. First saw one of these on Gina K’s channel and thought it was so cool. Showed it to hubby and asked him to make me one. Well that was over 6 months ago. This I can do myself. Very very cool! ❤️🦋❤️🦋

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!

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.

Oh man! The furniture felt idea is perfect! That will last forever on the bottom.

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. I can see mine being very sparkly with clear gems inside... oooh the possibilities are endless. Thabk you s o much for sharing. X

Wow Nancy your idea was awesome. Your creativity goes beyond stamping. Just love it! I have been considering getting one ever since I watched Ryan use his. Thank you for sharing your cool idea.💞💞💝💋

That's a great idea to recycle existing stuff in our homes rather than buying yet another gadget! Love it!

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

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.

I saw the idea on Gina K. I think it's a wonderful idea! It certainly would help anyone who finds it difficult, like me, to apply pressure when using the Misty. I also like the glitter idea for the inside. So very pretty. I love the teal. Thanks for sharing.

I have been looking at these but didn’t want to spend the money now I can make my own. Thank you for sharing how to make it.

There are a few people out there making them, but they are kinda pricy. Good for them as they need to make a living, but this girl is on a budget! Thanks for sharing!

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 have wanted one but having chemo treatments takes all my money. I can now make me one thanks to you. Thank you

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

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.

Nancy,I made a Chuckie tool out of broken computer mouse, I made some more out of empherma round magnetic metal storage tins from Dollar tree. I also made a smaller one for mini stamp press with Bo Bunny glitter paste jars. I cut out some mat board into the shape that I need. I used 3 M strong double stick adhesive sheets and cut out some fleece and made different size Chuckie tools. Possibilities are endless of what you can recycle and make your own stamping tools. Happy Stamping‼️‼️‼️😎🥰❤️💓❤️

Brilliant idea, I saw Gina K had one her neighbour Chuck made for her I went to the hardware store to look at making one but to buy the stuff was more expensive than buying one in the USA and having it sent to Australia. This one I can make once I have searched the house or my friends house lol. I’m sure one of us will have a lid like that. Thanks Nancy for such a great idea.

Thank you for sharing a how to on what's becoming a quick expensive tool. It's a much needed for those of us with carpal tunnel,or arthritis of the hands! And yes most us have glitter, felt and glue lol! Thanks for the chance to win a chuckie making kit!

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!!!!!

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!

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!

Wahoo! What a great idea. The top should feel perfect in your palm. Love the glitter set!

I really want a “chuckle” tool! I was a terrible stamper until I bought a Misti. This tool is just what I need !

Very creative idea. I’ve seen them and just didn’t want to spend the money. I love how you made your own!

Gina K’s friend Chuck Meadow was the first one who made it for Gina. That’s why we call it a chuckle tool. 💜 I would love to receive this kit I’ve been wanting to make one like this but we don’t burn candles. I did make one out of a pill bottle but it’s not very comfortable in my hand. Thanks for the video.

Nancy, I think this is a fabulous idea. I, too, have been thinking about buying a chucky tool, but they are so expensive and I’m on a tight budget. Thanks for sharing a brilliant idea.

This was a great time for something I would use from time to time but not frequently enough to purchase. Thanks for sharing ideas on making it sparkle so it looks great in the craft room!

I was just going to donate a pretty glass paperweight until I saw this video. Should make a great "chuckie". Thanks for the idea!

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

This is great for anyone with arthritis . Great idea for using things from around the house. TFS!

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.

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!

Didn’t think I needed it, but after watching several other people using it….I HAVE to have it! LOL Great video!

I don’t have a Chuckie tool but those of us crafters with arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, this is an excellent tool. Thank you for sharing this video with us.

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!

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! 😊

I love the glitter in the lid. I would never have thought of that.

Thanks Nancy!! I love the idea of this tool. I wouldn't pay what some people are selling these for. Just haven't gotten a candle to keep the lid to make my own. BTW it was invented by a gentleman named Chuck Meadows who made it for GinaK--probably about a year ago.

Oh my gosh, that would be fab!!!! I have been using a cleaning cloth because My hands get sore rubbing the platform all the time. What an amazing idea 💡. Thanks gal. Now I need to.finder a candle with a glass lid...hahaha

I purchased furniture super sliders that are 3 " circles. They are just about the perfect size. Thanks for the opportunity to have the other goodies to make my own.

I 1st saw the Chuckie tool on a Gina K video and because I have arthritis, thought it would be a great tool to help add pressure when using the large background stamps.

Awesome way to make life so much easier. I love a good impression when I use a stamping platform.

Chuckie!! 😆😆 I love the name 😁 and I think it is a worthy tool to have in the craft room. Being a crafter, I would rather make my own than buy one. I like that it can be decorated how you like and filled with something to add weight. I'm seeing clear or colored marbles and maybe add some pretty sequins or small beads to add color and movement inside the glass. No glitter for me!! Thanks for the video Nancy!

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 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

I think it would be a great tool to have. I don't have one but think I would like one. So nice of you to offer a kit to someone.

Oh this is fantastic... good timing....I saw different people using one and searched on Ebay for them (some way too expensive) then thought about making one. Great tutorial!!!😃😃😃

Creative! I also saved the yankee candle lids for “someday”. Hehehe

I tool a small jar from the dollar tree, put felt on the lid. Works great. I wanted the lid as I keep my anti static bag inside. Always know where it is. Whatever you choose, should be comfortable in your hand.

How very clever! I am gonna have to make one of these. I just taught a class to the girls in our youth group at church this past Saturday. We made lovely Mother's Day cards. I used my Mini Misti...and we all found that we had to press soooo firmly to transfer the image. This will come in mighty handy in the future. I'm old, but don't have arthritis. Just find it rather tricky to press as firmly as I need to for some stamps. Thanks so much for sharing this. I just might have one of these candle lids in my stash. :-)

How cool! What a great idea for recycling something that I usually throw away in the trash!

I have been talking to my husband about making one with a door knob but he still hasn't gotten around to it so I have a make shift one out of a baby jar with glass rocks in it. NOT comfortable in the hand, too small. Candle lid is a BRILLIANT idea.

I definitely think it’s worth buying, that being said I like homemade better. Up cycle is best and anytime you can save a penny or two buy using what you already have is even better. Great idea❤️❤️

I have used my Misty with just my hands, which gets tiring. So I bought a whiteboard eraser, but something heavier would be much better. Kudos to you for recycling! And you made it decorative!

I did this six months ago and made them for all my students. it works great!

That chuckie tool would be a blessing on my arthritic hands! Guess I need to go to the hardware store now.....unless....I win one!! :) Tfs!

The first one I saw was sent to some one on you tube and they were so excited to get it and I thought it was just a very pretty paperweight. I am so excited now cause I really would use this and they make pretty decor as well. Love this.

Great idea for making you’re own. I have been thinking about making one ever since I seen GinaKs. 😁💚

I bought a tool like this specifically because I had a cling foam stamp that would not get a good impression (parts of the center of the stamp were not making contact even pressing on the top of the stamping platform.) I had to resort to placing card stock onto an inked stamp and rub the card stock onto the stamp. Couldn’t see very well to center it. LOVE this tool. Now I can easily get a perfect impression! If I had known it was a candle lid, I would have made my own, but then I would have to buy the candle. I would love the kit to make a gift for a friend!

Great idea with the furniture pad for the bottom. I am going to try this but I need to buy a candle first. Thanks for the demo.

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.😉

Here in the UK you can get jars of coffee with these tops on. Thanks for the idea x

I have seen other crafters using this tool! I wondered where it could be brought! But this is a better way to make it so personal. Thanks for sharing. Linda Gainor

I think it's a great idea. I tried an eraser for a white board but it's way too flimsy. It's way more fun to have one you made yourself and on the cheap as well! Good for you for coming up with a fabulous idea!

This is brilliant. I've been making one from wood and a glass knob, but it has been problematic (i.e., sinking the screw head, countersinking the bolt, etc.--not my area of expertise) this is exponentially easier! I'm on it!

This looks fascinating. I just use a cloth and press with my palm and glider over my Misti. Thanks for the tutorial 😀

GREAT instructional video! I need to find a couple of Yankee candle tops, I gave away a bunch of candles and I wish that I'd kept even one so I could make one of these... You did a great job of showing and explaining so clearly how to make one of these and I appreciate it, Nancy!

I really enjoyed your DIY on the Stamp Chuckie! I have been using a dry marker board eraser. It’s soft and runs across my stamp platform nicely, but, I have to provide the pressure with my kind of soft muscles and arthritic hands! I love the whole adding weight to the Chuckie - so I don’t have to apply all the pressure! I am so glad that you are giving away a kit including the glass lid! Why? - because I thought I would have to go and buy a Yankee Candle just to get the lid! (No - I don’t have any lids around the house!) I’m so glad that I have a chance to win the kit with the lid! Thanks for your many various videos! You have taught me so much, especially with toner and hot foiling! Take care! 😊💕

I've been looking at one, but now you've shown how to make one, awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Making your own makes it pretty special. I would love one.

This is a much prettier tool than the chalkboard duster that I’ve been using, it would be easier on the hand as well. It’s gorgeous well done

What a great idea! I was just going through my moms stuff and she had a bunch of theses lids as she bought pretty toppers to go on her candles & wasn’t using them. I sure wish I would of seen this video about a month ago, although I did tell my daughter what could these be used for I guess I didn’t have my crafty brain on that day! I seen someone use a door knob this one would be prettier & easier on the hand. Thank you for sharing. I would definitely use one

I got a glass candle from the Dollar Tree. The jar looks like the old time glass door knobs. I had a heavy box that I cut to fit the "top" of the jar, added some Crazy glue to the top and cardboard piece and sat a heavy iron on it. It looks good to me, the candle is a pretty green. Works for me. Yours is good too.

Very clever, I’ve seen them for sale but never knew it was called a “Chuckie” 😝 LOL! I’m going to have to have one of those! Mermaid Blue for me!

I keep a swiffer sheet in my MISTI, so I never have to look for it when stamping. I think they are cute and clever, but I wouldn't want one (please exclude me from the drawing).
