The easiest way to produce consistent handles. These are laser cut from acrylic and are designed to be used with a handheld extruder (Specifically this one, but should fit other ~2.25" handheld extruders. This one looks like the closest alternative in the USA, if you’re unsure of what to buy in your country please get in touch and I’ll see if I can help. The dies are 57mm diameter). The dies do not come with the extruder!

There are 6 designs which can be purchased together or split into sets of three. There are three incremental Basic handles (8x16mm, 9x18mm, 10x20mm) which allow you to match the handle to the size of the piece, and three Ornate handles - one wider strap handle (8x22mm), and two shaped profiles that provide a more interesting surface for glazes to flow over.

The dies will also work with this cheaper Cartridge Applicator tool as shown here, although it’s not designed with this purpose in mind so isn’t quite as effective.
