Make your own Paint Daubers

I spent almost half the day perusing the web for DIY projects. I came across The Frugal Crafter, Lindsay Weirich's DIY paint daubers at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M3Ac3QGUyI.
In the video she shares how to make glimmer spray ink and daubers. Although, I'm not into glimmer spray ink, I think I will venture into to that some time in the future. Very informative presentation.
However, I really liked her diy daubers. Invested in some cosmetic wedges at the Dollar Tree and I have a collection of plastic soda caps from my grandsons. Lindsay reuses the caps from the bottles which is replaced with sprayers for her glimmer spray ink project.
I really like her daubers, the caps are just the right size. I made one dauber using a 1/2" diameter cap that was about 5/8" tall. It was from a Vitamin E oil bottle. I gave it to a friend.

Here's a picture of my daubers using plastic soda caps.

Cosmetic wedges folded in half and glue together with glue gun

Put hot glue at the bottom of cap  and place bent wedges into cap
