What a great tip!

I am sure I picked this idea up on my travels through the desks on WOYWW however I cant remember who's desk it was but whoever you are thank you!

I bought these items from Hobbycrafts:

Which were both in the sale so I got 3 packs of the rectangle signs and 1 pack of the handles for £2.49! bargain and with them I have made seven of these:

(Well actually I have made one so far as a tester but it seems ok so I am now off to saw the other five bits of the rectangle pieces and make the rest!)

So now I don't have to keep changing my distress tool every five mins and then have to faff as the velcro keeps coming off it - and yes I did see the tip about stapling the velcro onto the handle but they have now worked themselves out too so I am back to the not so sticky velcro.  Am really rather pleased with myself!
