My 10 yr old decided to make and sell these as a fun raiser to help kids go to a summer camp this year. He made these all by herself and has sold quite a few. I am so proud of her. No one told she needed to do this, it was just out of the kindness of her heart.

I see the device but what did you use to make it?
It was hit and miss. I found a handle and had to experiment with just the right sized hole to make the bend in the video.
