Brilliant! I have a Hot Marks tool that has been gathering dust for ages...I thought it was a one trick pony till I saw this. I LOVE your shaker idea! Easy peasy!
Hi Lindsay, What a brilliant idea and a frugal way of doing it too. I love the idea of doing this for shaker cards Could you use this with metal dies instead of the metal ruler? tfs. Dee x
oh my you are amazing !! gonna dig my tool out and go for it! Thanks for this video!!!... saved me from buying another tool that I already have.... LOL....
Brilliant! I wonder if it would work on the clear vinyl that you can purchase by the yard at fabric stores? It is a bit thicker, but would be neat to make your own customized hanging shoe/craft supplies/etc. storage system. Thanks for sharing.
I returned a fuse tool today that did not work. I couldn't find the WRMK one but I did find a wood burning tool. I remembered seeing something about this on one of your videos, so I bought it. Of course then I had to search through and find this. Love all your creative ideas, your stamp school and of course your painting! P.S. For some reason when I went looking for you on my subscription list, you were not there. This seems to happen sometimes here on TH-cam, right? Anyway, re-subscribed, and you are back on my list as you should be. Thanks and keep up the good work : )
Now I have to find my wood burning tool! Would be nice to see you do some of those Shaker Christmas Globe ornaments! (I saw somewhere else using expensive die cuts that I shy away from!)
OMG I already bought the fuse. I wish I would have known this as I do have the woodburner. I still have not used that tool either and I have had it for a few years. I was wondering if the plastic burns from the heat? Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
You just saved me a ton of money...I have two wood burners, and one of them has a roller just like the Fuze!! What goes around comes around I guess!! lol
I'm sure you already are aware or someone else may have told you but you can purchase the Fuse Tips and should be able to use them on your burner tool you already have. I believe they are about 7.00 give or take. thanks for you video share :)
Super awesome idea! I have this tool and I buy the cheap tab dividers from dollar tree and make my own stencils with it. And they work great. I just put the desired pattern under a piece of glass or my own design and place the tab divider on top and trace it with the tool. Works great and I have my own custom stencils!! Give it a try. I love it.
a little off the subject, but I want to try small stained glass soldering projects like jewelry or ornaments and want to know if I can use a wood burning tool (750 degrees) to see how I like it before investing in a soldering iron for that purpose...if not, what would be a good starter soldering iron, wasn't sure about tip on wood burning tool, either.

Hi Lindsay, about 17 years ago I bought some clear tablecloth vinyl and made my niece a birthday card. I cut it with zig zag scissors went around three sides with my sewing machine, filled it with sequence and a few other objects sealed the opening and mailed it out like that. It was really cool, so similar to this project. I still have a few others put away. Thanks for reminding me about this fun craft.
Quick question (Ithink ;)) What wattage/voltage is your tool? I have one that is 30w and I´ve used it to make stencils, but find that it gets a little bit to hot sometimes and make raised edges. And maybe do more so on thinner plastic?! TFS!
Ohhhhh Lindsay....to late! Oh well...I already bought the fuse tool and been having fun with it...if I would have known I probably would have bought the wood tool, because I could have done other things with it too...but, oh well...I have a head start and have really been having fun...I did buy sheet protectors in Costco, I think the clear one's were about $15.00 Diamond Clear Heavy Gauge for 100...maybe a little expensive, but they are really clear and look great when making a shaker...
Genius Lindsay! Your mind is constantly working and coming up with all kids of frugal ideas. I sure wished mine worked like that. Heck, i wish my mind worked PERIOD! Lol. Tfs. DD
GREAT video. I also have a wood-burner tool, bought for some unknown project many years ago, and never used since. Thanks for sharing a great reason to put this tool to use!
A good idea I wish I looked at your video before purchasing the other tool, I have wood burners that do same thing and dont have to wait long to heat up
I am so glad you did this!!! i have been watching these fuse tools and i was on the same wave length as you, thinking has to be something does the same, and yep my wood burning tool!! only thing i found as a downside was if acetate to brittle, but otherwise perfect... and i used my glass cutting mat, and found light touch and dont press too hard,,, xx
Glad I came across this tutorial I was wanting something like this but I did not know what it was called are used I only had it in my mind eye 👁 thank you New to crafting in social media#JWWichitaKansasUSA
Thanks for showing this. I have that same tool. I got it at CHA over ten years ago & it even shows making custom page protectors on the cover. The directions just don't show which tip to use. I was just burning through my page protectors with the tips I tried. I didn't try the one for the stencils. I'll crass the fuse tip back off of my wish list. Jil
Very cool! I've been wanting to get a wood Burner to make some things but of course I put it off. I have a lot of craft stuff as it is. But now that I know it's multi functional... Now I really, really want one!! Haha Thank you Lindsay
Sweet demo I just bought a wood burning tool from the used craft supply store this past weekend to try this .... now off to raid my hubby's page protectors :) Thanks for sharing
Great idea! It helps to make customized unmounted stamp storage sizes so you can store sets of stamps or like items together instead of where they happen to fit in a pre-made sleeve. I have used my sewing machine to make custom unmounted stamp holders.but this has ever more uses! Thanks. Paula in Florida
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich So sad I had gotten the fuse before I saw yours and another youtuber's video. This one does so much more and still might be good to get later.
Oh my gosh, you make me so jealous. I have two soldering irons but still decided to buy the tool from we r memory makers. I would of so wanted this tool instead. I couldn't find anyone making this too before. Wow! I like yours even better the extra tips are so cool!
Hi, I just subscribed, This is a fantastic idea thankyou. I have just started crafting but living in the UK I find either theres not much of a choice of things or things are so expensive, so I am looking for cheaper ideas for the tools side of things and searching ebay and amazon for the rest of things. xx
It is good you are thinking for more uses for tools you already own. When you showed the metal stamp parts that came with your tool I wondered what would happen if you tried to stamp them into the plastic sheets? Would they make patterns? I do not have this tool or a fuse but would be interested to see it if you want to make a part two, lol. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much for this video - love using tools I already have. I almost bought the fuse, but remembered I had bought the Hot Marks Tool years ago (found it in a drawer with tons of page protectors). Keep the videos coming!!!
I discovered my hubby's soldering iron almost two years ago while playing with ribbon. I use it to cut and seal ribbon ends as well as to write words into the ribbon and thought, hey if this works on ribbon I can use it on my page protectors instead of sewing, taping or gluing them. I also use it to directly attach ribbon to the page protectors or to fuse other plastic shapes to them. He did recently buy me a fuse since he got tired of me swiping his soldering iron. :). I still use it, now I have two irons, differents tips to use without having to use pliers to change hot tips. LOL! I am sure that isn't what he was after...
Lindsay this is GENIUS! I love the idea of the Fuse tool, but I had resolved to wait until the thing was available for a bit less then the $20+ it's going for now. I don't have a wood burner, but I'm sure there are lots of people who do who will greatly benefit from this video. Very cool.
Thanks for that 😉 I just subscribes on your channel and I think that I'll pass good moments and get lots of good ideas because of you so thanks for that too... I haven't this tool but I'll try with my hot glue gun and we'll see 😉 xo oh and sorry for my English
I tried my hot fix tool that I bought for rhinestones. Works sometimes, but a lot of times, it burns a hole. just got the fuse tool and the tips fit my hot fix tool. I tested it and it works well. I think I heard that WRMK will start selling the tips this fall. May save you some money if you can wait til that happens. Hope this helps someone. Thanks Lindsey for doing this video. Sorry if someone said this already, I didn't read all the comments, but I did read a lot of them.
+Jan an the tips do fit, but my tool is not a swarovski. The hot fix tool gets a little too hot, but with care, patience and practice, you may be able to get it to work consistently
Hi Amber I got tips(WRMK) and it fits perfectly on Swarovski Hotfix Crystal Tool. It gets very hot and does neat job. Made my first fused pocket letter from page protecter. Thanks once again for the cute idea👌
Hi Lindsay, I just picked up a Hot Marks tool today. I ordered it from WalMart.com. It was $19.51. Free shipping to store. I had seen "theoneandonlygrand" use hers as a substitute for the Fuse. :) Thanks for showing so many ways to use it. I hadn't thought of page protectors. Much more frugal. I was going to use those baseball card protectors or something similar.I think I have some clear vinyl I purchased at Joann's once upon a time, by the yard. It's pretty thick. We'll see. The WalnutHollow website has TH-cam videos showing how to use it. I'm surprised they're not remarketing it with all the interest in Pocket Letters etc.Thanks for always showing us ways to get great results and save money too!!!! Iris,SavedbyGrace
Bookmarks!!! I read from a Kindle, and I actually have two (2). Did I really admit that? Yes! One for indoors in color, and the other is a black and white screen for out in the sunshine. However, my sister is still into hands on books and she always needs a bookmark. Very cool idea. . . and easy to mail. Ohhhhh Lindsay, you are on a roll - You go girl..... :)
Totally off-topic, Lindsay: could you please consider doing a video about rubber stamping with items many of us might have around our homes and what inks work well to stamp with them? Crazy idea came to me in the wee hours when I was awake thinking about how to unjam my creative process. Ugh! Thanks for thinking about it, and thanks for the above tutorial!
Damn it, wish I have seen this, before I ordered the Fuse tool today! So bad I didn't since I'm following you Channel, you're comming up with a huge amount of good ideas. I have a woodburner, I thought about using it for the pockets, but didn't dare and ordered the Fuse tool. Probably the next time I should wait until something on my TH-cam page pops up showing me that all I thought that could work, will work!
What a great idea!! I have a very old woodburner that I used to use a lot, but haven't used it for a long long time. I hope it still works! Can't wait to try this out! Thanks Lindsay! You are awesome!
Hi Ms. Lindsay, I have this tool... I just tried to use the exact same tip that you have in this video and it is actually cutting thru both sides of my page protector. Have you tried the other top, the angled one? Trust me, out doesn't stick to glass. I have the EK Success Tempered Glass Mat. Even though I went slow but not to slow it still went thru both sides and sliced my protector.
Great video! Do you remember what temp/setting were you using? I have a wood burner tool and ordered the wrmk perforating accessories. They screw right on to my wood burning tool! I have a problem when sealing though. Theheat cuts through the plastig page protector and doesn't fuse. I have to practice more
Hi Lindsay. I was looking for a video like this. I have the Hot Marks set. I haven't seen anyone fuse with it before. I saw them cutting. I saw some pocket pages similar to baseball card holders but they have a little flap on top to keep stuff in. It's used for office stuff like memory cards. They're really expensive. I store stuff like small stamps in mine but they come flying out. Any way we could add a flap to pockets on the baseball card holders using this tool? The flapped pockets would come in so handy. Thanks. Tere
I've been looking for my wood burning tool ever since I saw the Fuse on tv! LOL. In the meantime I am going to try my mini quilting Clover iron on the edge. I will let you know if I have any success.
Omg omg! Thank you! Now I can make my own pockets To organize my dies and my stamps. Once again your the best DIY crafter on TH-cam!! Tip for you and others that use a wood burner (or other hot tool) I use a old coffee mug as my holder bc I hate the tool holder these come with.
I've wasted too many protectors so I'm giving up on using this to make pocket letters. Every tip I tried using were either burning my protectors or cutting thru completely. 😢😢
The new "fuse" tool never showed a temperature. I wanted to also use it for making a tighter seal on my thermal laminated stuff. I found a kit similar to what you shared but fouls one with a temperature dial. Thanks for showing that it will work. I bought it many moths ago and haven't yet played with it and experimented..... So, I thank you.
Trust me my boyfriend and my wallet seriously thank you. I bought a woodburning kit do hot fix some crystals to some shoes. That wood burner has been sitting in the bottom is my craft basket for God knows how many years since. I can catch a fuse off my craft list.
I have one of those around here somewhere. I was thinking it is basically the same tool that is all the rage right now. I will have to find my Hot Marks tool and use it. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh Lindsay u jux read my mind. I've jux ordered wood burner set last week & can't wait 2 try it. now it confirmed that it can be done 😊 thank you
Thanks so much. Great info, Sara
Finally someone showing how really work! Thanks for teaching us and giving your ideas you are amazing awesome lady
Hey Lindsay....Once again you solved a problem for me ....thank you for sharing! The heck with google 'I've got you 😁 babe!' 🎶 Stay Creative ~ Pauline
Brilliant! I have a Hot Marks tool that has been gathering dust for ages...I thought it was a one trick pony till I saw this. I LOVE your shaker idea! Easy peasy!
Hi Lindsay, What a brilliant idea and a frugal way of doing it too. I love the idea of doing this for shaker cards Could you use this with metal dies instead of the metal ruler? tfs. Dee x
arieswomandi great idea, you sure can!
Lindsay you are brilliant! I have a wood burner and a stencil cutter. I am definitely going to do this idea. Thank you
Jeanie Gregory either one should work:)
Great idea Lindsay:-)
Great idea!!! I have the same wood burning tool, it works so well.😊
Yes it does!
oh my you are amazing !! gonna dig my tool out and go for it! Thanks for this video!!!... saved me from buying another tool that I already have.... LOL....
great idea. i am always hesitant to buy a unitasker, but with all the different tips on the versatool it has greater value.
Great! I was just looking at getting a fuser but have a wood burner....I am going to try it.
Lindsay, thanks so much for confirming this! I had a notion it would work, but just hadn't tried it! Now, where did my hubby put that woodburner???
Thank you for this video! I was looking into buying a fuse, but I have both a wood burner and a stencil tool - I will be trying both of these first!
Brilliant! I wonder if it would work on the clear vinyl that you can purchase by the yard at fabric stores? It is a bit thicker, but would be neat to make your own customized hanging shoe/craft supplies/etc. storage system. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I have that !
I returned a fuse tool today that did not work. I couldn't find the WRMK one but I did find a wood burning tool. I remembered seeing something about this on one of your videos, so I bought it. Of course then I had to search through and find this. Love all your creative ideas, your stamp school and of course your painting! P.S. For some reason when I went looking for you on my subscription list, you were not there. This seems to happen sometimes here on TH-cam, right? Anyway, re-subscribed, and you are back on my list as you should be. Thanks and keep up the good work : )
yeah, it happens sometimes, not sure why. Have fun making pockets!
Saw a video where a woman used an empty glue gun to fuse pockets into page protectors.
Now I have to find my wood burning tool! Would be nice to see you do some of those Shaker Christmas Globe ornaments! (I saw somewhere else using expensive die cuts that I shy away from!)
OMG I already bought the fuse. I wish I would have known this as I do have the woodburner. I still have not used that tool either and I have had it for a few years. I was wondering if the plastic burns from the heat? Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
Dorothy Jewell it melts, if your woodburner is a higher wattage you will want to mover quicker because it will melt faster:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich good time to work on the project I'm doing a project an it
Great idea Lindsay! I actually have several wood burning tools. Why? I really am not sure. They seem to multiply near me.
Viki Banaszak haha, so do my sequins;)
You just saved me a ton of money...I have two wood burners, and one of them has a roller just like the Fuze!! What goes around comes around I guess!! lol
I just used the sealing part of my Foodsaver and it works perfectly! Many people have these so it would be a great alternative to buying another tool.
I'm sure you already are aware or someone else may have told you but you can purchase the Fuse Tips and should be able to use them on your burner tool you already have. I believe they are about 7.00 give or take. thanks for you video share :)
could you do some more videos on using your fuse tool please
I wonder if you could use your food sealer as well
Gee, Lyndsay, mine is RED and black. Does that make it semi-girly? ;) I've never used mine, so thanks for the ideas!
Super awesome idea! I have this tool and I buy the cheap tab dividers from dollar tree and make my own stencils with it. And they work great. I just put the desired pattern under a piece of glass or my own design and place the tab divider on top and trace it with the tool. Works great and I have my own custom stencils!! Give it a try. I love it.
Sarah Longshore will do, great idea and you can't beat the price!
Thank you so much! I do have a wood burner collecting dust so I’m glad i don’t have to spend the extra money on the fuse tool.
What kind of mat are you using for the heat tool and where can you buy it? Thanks
a little off the subject, but I want to try small stained glass soldering projects like jewelry or ornaments and want to know if I can use a wood burning tool (750 degrees) to see how I like it before investing in a soldering iron for that purpose...if not, what would be a good starter soldering iron, wasn't sure about tip on wood burning tool, either.
Susan Bentele you can get a Weller iron for under $20 at the hardware store, that is what I have, works great!
I love this idea! I also love that the shaker card would be thinner so it probably wouldn't cost extra in postage if you wanted to mail it.
I have liked, subscribed gonna hit the notification bell camera and signed up for your newsletter, and followed your link to Instagram and Twitter #JWWichitaKansasUSA
Lindsay, I have a jewelry soldering iron. Would that work?
OMG!!! I have been wanting to purchase those pages with the pockets, but like you said, they are so expensive! This is so helpful! TFS luvy!!! ♥
Hi Lindsay, about 17 years ago I bought some clear tablecloth vinyl and made my niece a birthday card. I cut it with zig zag scissors went around three sides with my sewing machine, filled it with sequence and a few other objects sealed the opening and mailed it out like that. It was really cool, so similar to this project. I still have a few others put away. Thanks for reminding me about this fun craft.
Quick question (Ithink ;)) What wattage/voltage is your tool? I have one that is 30w and I´ve used it to make stencils, but find that it gets a little bit to hot sometimes and make raised edges. And maybe do more so on thinner plastic?! TFS!
Ann-Sofie Red I'll have to check, i'm not sure. 16.5 watt, 120 volt
I keep thinking to dig out my encaustic tool to see if I can fuse a pocket that way. do you think it would work?
+Angie Beaumont probaly
And this is a perfect example of why we love you!
Hi,
Would a soldering work for this. I have a Dremel Versatip tool and it has a fine tip similar to the one you used. Thanks again!
+elkeartsandcrafts Elaine Jones probably
Ohhhhh Lindsay....to late! Oh well...I already bought the fuse tool and been having fun with it...if I would have known I probably would have bought the wood tool, because I could have done other things with it too...but, oh well...I have a head start and have really been having fun...I did buy sheet protectors in Costco, I think the clear one's were about $15.00 Diamond Clear Heavy Gauge for 100...maybe a little expensive, but they are really clear and look great when making a shaker...
@ thefrugalcrafter You are absolutely amazing and talented! Thank you for posting these videos...
Genius Lindsay! Your mind is constantly working and coming up with all kids of frugal ideas. I sure wished mine worked like that. Heck, i wish my mind worked PERIOD! Lol. Tfs. DD
GREAT video. I also have a wood-burner tool, bought for some unknown project many years ago, and never used since. Thanks for sharing a great reason to put this tool to use!
How neat! I have a never used (was on sale) wood burner that I can actually use now thanks!
Yay! Finally, I can customize my page protectors to organize my clear stamps. I have a heat tool--and NEVER USED IT! Thanks.
Wish I saw this first! LOL! Love your Tutorials Lindsay Always Great Info!! TFS
A good idea I wish I looked at your video before purchasing the other tool, I have wood burners that do same thing and dont have to wait long to heat up
I am so glad you did this!!! i have been watching these fuse tools and i was on the same wave length as you, thinking has to be something does the same, and yep my wood burning tool!! only thing i found as a downside was if acetate to brittle, but otherwise perfect... and i used my glass cutting mat, and found light touch and dont press too hard,,, xx
You are SO brilliant ! TFS? Do you think the tool that does the heated foil cards from WE R would work on this method?
+Leslie Davis it should, use the flat transfer tip.
YOUR BRILLIANT....! ! ! ! A NEW WAY TO USE MY WOODBURNER. THANK YOU
I have a set like that and bought just the tips and they screwed into the tip just fine
Glad I came across this tutorial I was wanting something like this but I did not know what it was called are used I only had it in my mind eye 👁 thank you New to crafting in social media#JWWichitaKansasUSA
Love love love ! Easy, fun and so frugal ! Thanks !
These are good ideas. I hope you show shaker pockets and more with this tool.
Great idea!
I tape down the stand to my craft mat.
great idea!
Thanks for showing this. I have that same tool. I got it at CHA over ten years ago & it even shows making custom page protectors on the cover. The directions just don't show which tip to use. I was just burning through my page protectors with the tips I tried. I didn't try the one for the stencils. I'll crass the fuse tip back off of my wish list. Jil
Very cool!
I've been wanting to get a wood Burner to make some things but of course I put it off. I have a lot of craft stuff as it is. But now that I know it's multi functional... Now I really, really want one!! Haha
Thank you Lindsay
Sweet demo I just bought a wood burning tool from the used craft supply store this past weekend to try this .... now off to raid my hubby's page protectors :) Thanks for sharing
Great idea! It helps to make customized unmounted stamp storage sizes so you can store sets of stamps or like items together instead of where they happen to fit in a pre-made sleeve. I have used my sewing machine to make custom unmounted stamp holders.but this has ever more uses! Thanks.
Paula in Florida
LOVE LOVE LOVE...saw the fuse tool and was wondering if I could use my Hot Marks tool for the same purpose....Thank you so much!!
I use mine to also make foam stamps. makes a nice mark in fun foam.
I did this a couple of years ago for my glitter tattoo stencils to keep them in a binder. AWESOME!!! I was able to customize my sizes.
This would make great pockets for Midori traveler's notebook!
Very nice. Walmart.com has the "Hot-marks" tool for $19.97.
Karen Brake that is a good deal, the reg price at joann is $37! (but it is on sale for $22 right now)

+HandmadebyAmber - thanks for your fast response! I really appreciate👍
Hi Amber I got tips(WRMK) and it fits perfectly on Swarovski Hotfix Crystal Tool. It gets very hot and does neat job. Made my first fused pocket letter from page protecter. Thanks once again for the cute idea👌

You rock!!!!
i wonder of a soldering tool could work in a similar way , or maybe it would betoo hot, hmmm
It it has an adjustable dial it might
I want one so bad
Can u use sodering iron
if you can turn it to low you probably can
What a great idea!! I have a very old woodburner that I used to use a lot, but haven't used it for a long long time. I hope it still works! Can't wait to try this out! Thanks Lindsay! You are awesome!
Hi Ms. Lindsay, I have this tool... I just tried to use the exact same tip that you have in this video and it is actually cutting thru both sides of my page protector.

I store stuff like small stamps in mine but they come flying out. Any way we could add a flap to pockets on the baseball card holders using this tool? The flapped pockets would come in so handy. Thanks. Tere
paprluvr if you cut the slit like I showed you 1/2" below the fuse line the stamps won't side out, they will catch in the top of the pocket.
I've been looking for my wood burning tool ever since I saw the Fuse on tv! LOL. In the meantime I am going to try my mini quilting Clover iron on the edge. I will let you know if I have any success.
Omg omg! Thank you! Now I can make my own pockets To organize my dies and my stamps. Once again your the best DIY crafter on TH-cam!! Tip for you and others that use a wood burner (or other hot tool) I use a old coffee mug as my holder bc I hate the tool holder these come with.
I've wasted too many protectors so I'm giving up on using this to make pocket letters. Every tip I tried using were either burning my protectors or cutting thru completely. 😢😢
humm I could have used this video a week and a half ago before I bought the fuse. Cool idea Lindsay. Thanks for sharing.
The new "fuse" tool never showed a temperature. I wanted to also use it for making a tighter seal on my thermal laminated stuff. I found a kit similar to what you shared but fouls one with a temperature dial. Thanks for showing that it will work. I bought it many moths ago and haven't yet played with it and experimented..... So, I thank you.
This is fabulous! I love this idea and I don't have to go out and buy an expensive one! Thanks Lindsay :)
First time for me to see this sort of tool in craft. Very interesting. Enjoyed my visit. Marie
Awesome!
very nice. love your idea
Trust me my boyfriend and my wallet seriously thank you. I bought a woodburning kit do hot fix some crystals to some shoes. That wood burner has been sitting in the bottom is my craft basket for God knows how many years since. I can catch a fuse off my craft list.
been wondering about this for days! Thanks!
I have a jewel setting tool that I can use by just buying the accessories pack from the fuse tool,it works well
I have one of those around here somewhere. I was thinking it is basically the same tool that is all the rage right now. I will have to find my Hot Marks tool and use it. Thanks for the reminder.
Awesome!!!! I actually have that tool.. YAY!
