I just needed wanted a new glue gun, since my old one was not working properly and one cannot be a professional blogger without a proper tools right? And a new gun needs a holder, so, a cutlery tray became a glue gun holder!
I thought I’ll share this great hack and you can adapt it to your needs. A wooden/bamboo cutlery tray will look much better, but, I used what I had since, you know, I already splurged, lol!
These trays are great for holding the glue gun AND there are space to keep the glue sticks too!
I asked hubby to make a small hole to fit the plug through. He cut it with a carpet knife. You do not need to cut a hole, though, the wire can go over the rim. I just found it made the gun fall over, hence the hole.
I added a cupcake liner so the glue won’t mess in the tray and one can simply throw away the liner when dirty. Then, the glue sticks found a place and voilá! The perfect glue gun holder repurposing a cutler tray!

Great idea! You could also store your tools (fingertip covers, makeup paddles, etc.) in one of the slots.

You smart ladies make me so proud to be one too. I have a big glue gun and a smaller one.
This I can put together by myself.
It is perfect.

Your information is very helpful. I have a glue gun but it’s too old and is not working properly. I need a new glue gun. Thanks for sharing the great post!
