DIY scoopula
One type of tool used in jewelry making and repair resembles a scoopula. It is available at Hobby Lobby for 50 cents. Various spoon-like plastic-ware from ice-cream shops may serve well as replacement scoopulas.
Small scoopulas may be made from straws or pipes with L-shaped cuts at their ends.
