Make your own stamp glider, chuckie, barren tool. 

Hubby made me one. Block of wood, furniture felt pad on bottom and an old doorknob on top. Mine isn’t a fashion model, but it works GREAT!

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!

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.

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.

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

I absolutely loved this video. I recently was accepted to the FSC and I'm loving the Foiling community.

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 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!

I just want to take this opportunity to tell you how appreciative myself & many, many others are for all of the information & demonstrations you show us. I've been wanting to say that for a while.

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!

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

Thank you for a fantastic idea! I have hand and wrist pain, and this would be a great solution, not to mention decorating it to match my craft room and tools.

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

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

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.

Such an awesome idea using a candle lid. Love the extra touch with the glitter. 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. Thanks for the great idea! 👍

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.

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

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

This is the first I have heard what item actually is. I have seen people use them but had no idea what it even was. Thanks for the explanation.

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

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.

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 ❤️

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Absolutely great tool! I’m using a cloth towel now but have been looking at them because of the severe arthritis in my hands - was hoping a tool like that would make things a little easier :) thanks for showing instructions!

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

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

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!!!!!

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

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.

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

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

I own one from etsy and was not aware how easy it is to make thanks for sharing

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

If you only knew how happy I was to find these directions. I’ve ha a Yankee candle lid here for years. I am now about to collect the other supplies I will submit a picture when I’m done Beverly Waters

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!

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!

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! 😊

Wow that looks sssoooo good. I have arthritis so that would be a life saver for my hands

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

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

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 think this is genius. saw someone use one and was wondering where to get one. Such a great idea to save money.

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 love the candle lid idea 💡 I was just tonight looking for a crystal door knob at Lowes

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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!

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

What a great idea for recycling those lids. I think I might have a few somewhere in the house!

I have been looking at buying one but didn’t know where to after watching your video I think the glass lid off a Moccona coffee jar would do the same thing so thank you so much for the handy tip.sending you and your beautiful daughter hugs from sunny Queensland Australia xXx

I've wanted one, but there's nowhere around where I live to buy one. Thanks for showing me how to make my own!! Great tutorial thanks!

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

I just found you when I saw the "make your own Chuckie" notice I had to have a look. What a wonderful idea and very useful too. So glad to have found you. I will subscribe as you are very inventive.

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!

What a great idea, to use the top of a candle. I liked the glitter in it too. Thanks for the great idea!

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

I have no desire to purchase... especially now that you have provided such a good idea. A friend of mine bought one and I really like that it's easier on my hand but now, I'm going to look at what I have around the house and make my own. It really is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

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.

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.

Well this is certainly something new to me! I could definitely use something like this when using my stamping platform!

Thank you! I've not wanted to spend as much as people are charging, so making my own will be great!

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

Great idea. I cant tell you how many I tossed in the past and felt guilty about it.

I can see how a "chuckie" would help prevent hand strain and arthritis pain. Yes, I want one.

I used a schoolboard eraser, but stil had to put pressure on it, your video made me have a second look at the little glass candleholder I use to hold water in for aqua painting. It has a flat bottom so I just glued a few layers of a cleaning cloth to the bottom and it works like a charm. 🥰 Now is has two functions. 🤣

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

I have been interested in them and have looked around and came to the conclusion that I should make one....haven't done it yet.....I think it will be a great tool! Thanks for showing how easy in can be!!!!

How wonderful. I have been having coverage issues and can’t wait to make my own ❤️

Fantastic idea… anything to make the pressure a lot more even while stamping. Plus my son would like his air hockey chuck back! Lol

Hi Nancy, My goodness Nancy, u are Not just the queen 👸 of crafty crafting but an absolute Genius to come up with making your own stamp Chuckie what an absolute wonderful idea loved the way u Glittered it you are one Clever Nancy 🤗 Whoever wins that will be one very happy crafty crafter love Lin ❤️👍🐕🌸

I'm new to card making,stamping, I think it's a great idea and tool, Thank you for sharing!

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.😉

I made a couple out of clay! love the glass one better! Would love to have this! Love all the things you do and make Nancy!

I ordered 3” round felt pads for Table furniture legs from Target, but it will fit on the glass Yankee candle top to make my version of a ‘Chucks’ Craft Tool .

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.

I’m all over this because I had just decided to make my own the other day

Love your idea, I made mine from wood circles and a crystal clear curtain finneal. Love those tools.

I think making it yourself was a great idea.

Yes I have seen a few crafters using a similar gadget.Pretty useful tool.I need this in my life please.

I’ve been eyeballing this tool since I saw Ryan use one in one of his Glitter Grunge Vids.

Thank you for the idea! I too have been saving candle jars. I will now make one of these for my daughter and myself.

I need one because my hand was almost severed long ago. Haven't been able to afford etsy ones. The kit would help!

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!!

I’ve decided I need one!

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

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!

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 have been looking at these since I saw it on a Gina K video but I am on a strict budget so couldn't afford to buy one.

This is a great tool. I was thinking of making one of my own as well. The candle lid is a fantastic idea

the 'chuckie' is actually an old tool called a Baren that has been made by Speedball Company for many years. It has long been used in the printing process and was a must, back in the day, for print transference. They still sell them for @ $7 (and that's on AMZ). Or just use an old wooden 'bun' foot from a piece of furniture and wrap it with felt. Done. Cheap.

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
