I love my hot glue gun. BUT. I hate getting burned, and the thought of getting burned while working on stuff sometimes keeps me from getting my hot glue gun out. Some other crafters thought so too, which is why they invented Hot Glue Gun Helpers!
My friend Cathie Filian and her crafty-partner-in-crime Steve Piacenza are well-known crafters and crafty tv hosts (of HGTV’s Creative Juice, and check out their current proeject: Plaid TV), and they were sick of getting burned while hot glue gunning, so they came up with a set of heat-resistant tools that will make your hot glue gun projects much more pleasant!
The kit contains:
- Craft Mat: Cover and protect your work surface. Peel craft paint and cooled glue from the mat. Soap and water clean up. Rolls for storage. (measures 14.75″ x 11.5″)
- Finger Caps (you get 3: 2 adult sizes and 1 teen size): Place on fingers to protect while gluing. Great with hot glue.
- Tweezers: Pick up and place small items into glue. Non-stick tips. Great for working with gem glue.
- Paddle: Corners pick up a small amount of glue. Paddle allows for a soft press. Great for gluing flowers.
- Press Wand: Tipped end smears hot glue. Great for paper crafts. Blunt end allows for a firm press. Great for gluing embellishments.
I really love this product! If I were the crafty Oprah, I would give one of these away to everyone I know (and everyone I don’t know). All the tools are heat-resistant and designed to help you use hot glue in ways you have never been able to.
When wearing the finger caps, you can literally put your finger in hot glue and you won’t get burned or feel any heat from the hot glue. You can use all the tools to do different things like pick up a small dab of glue for fine work, or apply pressure against something that needs to be pressed down. You can put a glob of hot glue down on the mat and it won’t damage your work surface at all. When the glue cools, it peels right off of the mat.
The only thing I would change is to make the finger caps bigger (or make them available in “man” size, since my fingers didn’t like being squeezed into them). They are probably fine for most people, though! I guess I just have large fingers!
If you want to know more, check out this video, where Cathie demonstrated the tools on HSN:

This is a dream idea! I love my glue gun but my skin and work surfaces do not. Please save me the cast of ointment and bandaides!
Christy
Looks really handy!
wintu nancy
What a cool, pun intended, idea. I usually use a piece of foil for a work surface, but it isn’t perfect. Love the idea of protecting your fingers from burns.
Jan

Temia C.
I love my hot glue gun for instant satisfaction on projects. But the permanent brown spot on finger is not cute. This is a nifty invention for crafters.
Rebecca

I would really love this set.
I’ve been using an old plastic cutting board at a glue station, but you cant peel old glue off.
The silicone finger caps would be great. then I wouldnt have to set up a “just in case” bowl of ice water when I’m working

I burned my fingers so bad they blistered on my last hot glue gun project. I tried protecting my fingers from burns with band aids but it didn’t work well at all. The band aids made my fingers too slippery.
Trina Drake
What an amazing and much needed product this is! Each one of those tools would be a wonderful, wonderful aid in my ongoing dollhouse project (and all of my other crafting adventures, as well)!! Thank you for making me aware that such useful tools existed.

I haven’t used my glue gun in years because I always burn myself. I may have to pull it out of the penalty box, dust it off & try again with these tools!
Paulette D
These products are great. I always try to be careful but get burned anyway…thanks
Sarah
I would love to win this! Much nicer than the paper plate I was using this weekend.

Kristen S
I would love this! I currently use a low temp glue gun so I won’t burn myself, but it also limits what I can do because it cools and dries so quickly. This kids would be perfect so I can graduate to a REAL glue gun. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Molly
hadn’t used my gluegun in months and just this weekend burnt myself on it …would have been nice to have had the finger guards ;) -what a great idea!

Moriah Garland
I NEED A GLUE GUN SO BAD!!!
Christina
Wow this looks like an awesome product. This would have been great a couple of years ago when I was doing pot pals with my girl scouts and my girl scout leader, we kept burning our fingers and joking around that we didn’t have any more fingerprints. I wish this was around then.
lauren@warmandfuzzy
I think this is best invention EVER…I so want this! It may be my next purchase!!

Natalie Johnson
I need this so bad!! I have too many hot glue scars! lol
Susie
I am always getting burned. My husband has nick named me the queen of burn. I get burned by the curling iron. with the iron, using the stove and of course the glue gun. I would be wonderful to own one of my very own. I sure would cut down on our band aides, and I wouldn’t have as many scares.
Buccinator
This is such a great idea! Doesn’t every crafty person need this? When you live in a tiny house and barely have room for all your craft stuff and now your craft stuff needs stuff?! :-)
Teresa
I NEEEED THIS!!!!!

Dunno who would love to win this more – me or my dining room table! :O

Lisa H
I have been looking for this for so long. Hope I win one. Would be a great help.
Adena
What an ingenious idea!!! I would use my hot glue alot more if I didn’t have to wait about a week in between to allow time for my burns to heal.
Daneilia
This is great, cause I’ve had countless number of times that I’ve burned myself :(
Vicki
Great idea. I might start using my hot glue gun again if I had this.

This has been on my Wish List from the first time I saw Cathie demo it!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
[email protected]
marianne
What a great idea! Beats using aloe on my burns:)
Elizabeth
Just started hot gluing with my kids. This will make things so much easier.
Ally Kenyon
I would LOVE this. I just spent $12 on a nice glue gun with a very fine precision tip and it seems to be working pretty well for now but I still seem to get burned with the excess glue sometimes. Great idea and would love to put it to use.
Caitlin
This sounds so perfect! I’d love to try it out!
Rob
Love this. Hate burnt digits. Hope I win!!!
Chelsea
Haha! I just burned myself earlier. :( (Not with the glue gun this time – with a hot needle I was heating to poke through plastic.) I would use the heck out of all of these tools!
Sonya
I would love to give this to a friend of mine who makes hot glue sculptures:)
Shelley
I burn my fingers every. single. time. i use my glue gun, but i still use it anyway! too many cute projects in the blog-o-sphere!

I think I use my glue gun even more than a person necessarily should. When I was younger and couldn’t sew, I even used to hot glue together clothes for myself and my barbies!
Bianca
Oh I saw these the other day on your Facebook craft kit question and fell in love with the idea of them!!!!!! Will make one luck winner super happy :D
Fingers and toes crossed for everyone, good luck x

Tammie
What a fantastic product! Would love to win it! :)
CrafterBerly
It’s about time they gave some love to the almighty glue gun!
AvonCTStyle
This has inspired me to dust off my glue guns – when will these be available in stores with so many entries already I realize my chances are slim to win so where & when can we buy these?
Tee
OMG! I need this soooo badly. I got a glob of hot lava stuck between my nail and skin today.
Blistered fingers crossed!

Aviva
Oooh! I have a friend with that set and I’d love one of my own!!
Heather
I have been putting off doing crafts (not because of being burned but because I haven’t had the time or space), but we’re moving and I think a craft will help after all the craziness and knowing I won’t be burned would be great. :)
Blanca
Me! Me! I want one of those…those little tiny blisters you get on the finger tips sometimes really suck :(
Maria
I would love to get an hot glue gun helper …. It will save my fingers… :)
Brittany
What a great idea! I would love to try it! I’m recovering from glue gun burns from a wreath I made the other day!

Chi Anne
I think this would save my finger tips! Wow!
Ellen
Oooh — I would really love to test out those hot glue gun helpers!
Panya
I’ve only used my hot glue gun once, to make barrettes and a barrette holder for my niece — I got glue everywhere and I must have burned my fingers a dozen times. This kit sounds awesome!
Suzi J.
What a clever, must have kit. Would be an awesome addition to anyone’s crafting site. Would love to try all the pieces..they could solve all our hot glue problems.
Karen Quaty
Wow! That is absolutely ingenious! I always get glue everywhere and also wind up burning my fingers burned. I definitely would enjoy this kit.
mrs. hils
This would make me feel much better about my 7-year-old operating the “heavy machinery” glue gun!
Jenni R
This would be a great addition to my craft room! Why didn’t I think of this?!
Lisa :]
That is one of the coolest kits I’ve seen in a while
Becky W.
This is seriously one of the coolest if not THE coolest thing I’ve ever seen, and would be so awesome to have, and would help so much in not being wary of using my hot glue gun.
Brandi F
Awesome idea!!! I am tired of getting burned by the hot glue gun, but I love to make crafts and stuff using it.
Karole Smith
I am soooo NEEDING this! I have burnt my fingers so many times. To this day I still use my hot glue gun, even in cardmaking. I just wished that this would have come out 20 yrs ago when I was really into craft projects. I am keeping my fingers crossed. xx (Recently I had seen and checked into product, awesome!) Hope to see it in my local craft stores soon, as of right now they dont have it. Would love to get one for my daughterinlaw.
Christina
I just started using a hot glue gun and these are the reasons I do not use it unless necessary. I hate the mess and the burns, but this will definitely change that. Are these going to be sold at any stores?? I will buy will asap if possible. It seems like a great product, very smart idea with making this kit. Bravo!

I work with teens at a non-profit after school program where we do a lot of craft activities and homework projects, some of which must be hot glued. One of the kids loves to tell the story of the time I “burned her with the hot glue gun” – which in reality was the time I was helping her with an assignment and she willfully stuck her finger into the hot glue! Seriously, some of them do not believe me when I tell them it’s called hot glue because it’s HOT! Anyway, I’d really like to have one of these to prevent any more legends of hot glue atrocities.
