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.
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!
Oh Lindsay you are a genius !!! I have one of these tools only it's all gold, and I bought it Years ago. I will get it out and try this to make shaker pockets. Two thumbs up !!!!
I happen to have one of those wood burners and never found a good use for it. I'm so glad you showed us how to use it. Thanks. And Congratulations on 4 million blog views! Very impressive.
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!
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.
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.
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..... :)
I watch so many of your videos... not through your channel, but through google search. I just google a certain topic, and for some reason, the videos that I find most helpful, are yours. Honestly, I google, and many of my searches land on your videos. That's almost too strange. LOL! .... So needless to say, I am just going to subscribe. You obviously have a lot of crafty things going on. I do all types of crafts, and obviously, you do too. SUBSCRIBED!!!! :)
Oh neat, what a great way to add pockets to my journal pages - I watched a YT on making pockets with the Memory Keeper's tool and wondered if my little stencil cutter would work that way. When I saw your video I thought, Oh my gosh, look at that, it does =) Thank you so much.
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!
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
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
Bought one of these a while ago, only using it now. Opens up so many creative possibilities!! Like the idea of the silicone mat rather than a tile, as the mat has more "give" when the plastic melts, TFS, xxx
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
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...
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
I have one of these tools that came out approximately 13 or 14 years ago...( I LOVE using my older tools) ...and love the different uses for this tool....great video, here...also...would you consider doing a sodering tool video....have toyed with the idea of buying one...TFS😀
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!!!
This is fabulous! I have one of those! I use mostly the hot knife, it cuts through craft pumpkins like butter, but now I can use it for this too! Thanks so much!
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.
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!
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
Ha! Thank you so much for trying this idea for me! When I heard about the new tool by Memory Keepers, I thought it must be possible to do the same with a woodburning tool. I don't have one yet, but I came onto several other things I could use a woodburning tool for, so it's good to know this is yet another posibility. Thanks a bunch!
T4S! I have one of these that's been sitting collecting dust... Thank you bcuz I had been wondering about this exact same thing myself after seeing a Fuse Tool vid. 😍😍 YOU answered my question!
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
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....
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
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!
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
This is a very helpful video, thank you! I have the same tool as you and didn’t realize I could use it for all those other things! Wish I had known a few months ago when I was cutting a lot of foam core board, LOL! As always, great video Lindsey!
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...
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👌
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.
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 : )
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.
These are good ideas. I hope you show shaker pockets and more with this tool.
Great idea!
You TOTALLY ROCK Lindsay!!! Thanks for ALL your tips.
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.
Yay! Finally, I can customize my page protectors to organize my clear stamps. I have a heat tool--and NEVER USED IT! Thanks.
Excellent- you just saved me a ton of money! You ROCK!!!!!
Helen McCoy A ton, I did not know the fuse was that expensive LOL:)
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.

when I'm looking for a basic tutorial with common/ on-hand products I can always count on you, Lindsay. Miss you on WOYWW. Creative Blessings!
Thank you- just stumbled upon this video- but have been a long-time fan!
Awesome, thank you!
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.

p.s. it has been a red wine kind of day, so hopefully, my comment makes sense. ??? :)
I have one of these tools. I used it to make custom pockets for my daughter's running bibs when she was on the cross country team. Worked great!
Oh neat, what a great way to add pockets to my journal pages - I watched a YT on making pockets with the Memory Keeper's tool and wondered if my little stencil cutter would work that way. When I saw your video I thought, Oh my gosh, look at that, it does =) Thank you so much.
Fabulous idea for shipping products!!! Saves me a bunch of money. Thank you!
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!
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:)
Blessings love your creation good idea
I love this idea!! Love your frugalness!!! Thanks for all your inspiration!!
And this is a perfect example of why we love you!
Great idea!!! I have the same wood burning tool, it works so well.😊
Yes it does!
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

Good idea! I have a Hot Tool, and now I want to make a shaker dashboard for my planner. TFS!
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.
How neat! I have a never used (was on sale) wood burner that I can actually use now thanks!
Thank you...thank you.....thank you for this video. I have so many page protectors that need to be utilized.
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.
humm I could have used this video a week and a half ago before I bought the fuse. Cool idea Lindsay. Thanks for sharing.
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!!! ♥
I love the bookmarked idea! So neat! TFS!

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

What a great idea...I was imagining pockets for jewellery for travelling~ that would work, like a travel pouch!
TFS

THANKS! You just saved me money!

You are brilliant at thinking outside the box. I have a wood burner and it never dawned on me to try anything else with it. tfs.
the cork for the cutter is an awesome idea! i always loose all the caps. i will definitly borrow that idea!
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.
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....
I have been doing this for a while but never thought to use the silicone mat.. great idea..
Thanks so much. Great info, Sara
Love love love ! Easy, fun and so frugal ! Thanks !
Love it! Always wondered if my wood burner would work for this! Tfs! 😊💙

YOUR BRILLIANT....! ! ! ! A NEW WAY TO USE MY WOODBURNER. THANK YOU
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!
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!!
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???
Awesome!!!! I actually have that tool.. YAY!
great idea. i am always hesitant to buy a unitasker, but with all the different tips on the versatool it has greater value.
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...
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 do have swarovski hotfix tool....do the wrmk fuse tool tip fits? Does it work good?
+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
+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👌

This will be helpful to make the card flatter for mailing!
been wondering about this for days! Thanks!
Wish I saw this first! LOL! Love your Tutorials Lindsay Always Great Info!! TFS
awessommmeee video!! I was trying to figure out if I could do this with a. wood burner and was so happy to see you did it!!

yeah, it happens sometimes, not sure why. Have fun making pockets!
awesome I tried it that is just to cool
I use mine to also make foam stamps. makes a nice mark in fun foam.
This is awesome!!
Great idea Lindsay:-)
Brilliant! Thank you!
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.
