I don't know what your hot glue guns are like but I must have tried every make/ brand on the market and they all seem to drip hot glue at some time or other. Then there is the added problem of the corded ones tipping over and the little pull out wire rest being less than useless, as soon as that electrical cord gets any sort of kink or bend it tipples. not good when you constantly have to put the glue gun down to stick stuff together.
The problem above teamed with not being able to find a new glue stick when you need it encouraged me to make a craft kit.

Easy to put together and great to decorate in you favourite colours or cover with patterned paper
An acrylic plate to pop in so that when the glue drips you can take out the plate to peel off the cool glue
Problem solved and it looks great sitting on your work desk.
The acrylic plate sits right underneath the drippy bit.
