However, after visiting the website I wondered if I could create a cheaper alternative. I have a cheap store brand wooden rolling pin that I bought at my local Jewel. Never used the thing. Could I duplicate the bumpy surface found on some foam rollers? Sure. A trip to the dollar store later, and I had a bath mat, which I cut to size.
How to fasten? I didn't have the right size nails, nor did I have the appropriate sized staples. I did have fast drying glue.However, to make sure the mat stayed on the rolling pin, I channeled my inner Red Green and resorted to "the handyman's secret weapon - duct tape".
You can see the result here.
It works just as well as the stick.
