DIY Hot Glue Gun Holder

January 16, 2013 By

Hey friends!

I hope you are all having an awesome week!  I am here today to share  my DIY Hot Glue Gun Holder!  This baby is something every girl needs!

My Meme gave me a glue gun holder years ago.  I loved the idea, but there were things about it that didn’t work so well either.  So… I came up with a ‘Shanty’ version we can all make together!

This is such an easy project, and would make a great ‘make & take’ for a girl’s craft night!

So… Let’s get started!

For those of you that don’t own a saw, this is a perfect one for you!

This is actually the saw that I started with before getting my ‘big daddy’ saw, and I still put this to use.  You just mark your cut line with a pencil, and saw the board on your line!  Easy and NOT scary… Promise!

See… Told you this was simple!  I LOVE mine!  I use it every time I pull my hot glue gun out.  It keeps it standing up and when the glue piles up on the tile, you can just peel it off easily after it dries.  The bomb.

Here are a few more shots of mine in action ;-) !

Hope you like it!  If you purchase the materials needed to make this, you can easily make 8 or so for right around $1 a piece… Woohoo!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!  I would LOVE for you to PIN and share this baby below!  Have an awesome Wednesday!

    This is based in so much common sense that you would’ve thought there would be many in stores. But I’ve never seen such a thing – always needed something like it – and think I won’t be able to live much longer without it. Brilliant.

    This is perfect! I’m using a disposable plate and the gun won’t stand up, of course. I will be doing something like this, great idea! Thanks, I’ve pinned.
