They aren’t listed online at Bed Bath and Beyond, or the Target website, but they may still be available in store. 
I contacted the manufacturer and it seems that these items are sold at a lot of Hallmark stores!  Ace hardware and some other places.

*** There are some on ebay if you search “silicone twist jar”***

Today we cover a super useful, super cheap DIY Solution for a ‘follow focus assist’ for your DSLR camera!  Tony Carretti (link below) came up with this idea for using a Trudeau brand jar opener as a focus assist solution and when I saw his video, I had to try it out and share it with you!
