  • The most useful item I have ever made is a marvel of simplicity and practicality. Born out of necessity and crafted so easily, it has become an indispensable part of my crafting life. Its value to me is not in its complexity, but in its ability to simplify and streamline the challenges I so often face, making it an invaluable item that I use all the time.

    Hi - from Melbourne, Australia ❣️. Great idea to stop "knockage-overs" (as I call it😆😅) but could you use UV resin to glue one on top of the other so the shot glass actually sinks down deeper? Like yourself, I often use these for paint and a paintbrush definitely knocks them over, so annoying, but when you're in creative mode you do things without thinking and then there's a big mess to clear up?!?🙄😕

    As a fellow clumsy person, i knew immediately what you were going to use this for. (My family all call me "the clumsiest woman in the world", haha.😅) So when you said you weren't going to use it to carry shot glasses, I figured you'd be using it for all the little resin or paint pots. 😂
