Want to save on using your Stickles?

[tojoco]

When you want to add Stickles to your images, instead of just squeezing it out of the bottle onto your image, try squeezing a bit of it on a paper plate and using a paint brush to pick it up and painting it onto your image. It saves on blobbing out the Stickles and ruining your card and it saves on waste. When you use a paintbrush, you have more control, use less and it takes less time to dry.:)

Thanks for the tip! You are very smart and creative!!

Thanks for the tip... I always end up with a big blob so hopefully this will get me to use more Stickles.

what a great idea!

It does work, cause I've done it before. It really helps when your trying to get into small areas.

I have sometimes used a q-tip instead of the paintbrush.

It is a great idea---I sometimes use a hat pin. I do the same with the crystal glue.

And I thought that I was being so clever using a toothpick - we are a pretty smart bunch aren't we!
Actually I started using the toothpick because I didn't get very good results using the Stickles straight form the bottle. If I wanted a row of twinkly little dots, some of them would turn out bigger than the others, or would be deformed. not a very satisfactory look at all. And using a little on the end of a toothpick is very thrifty too.

Me too. Squirt it out on my TH mat & then apply it where I need.

And here I thought I invented the toothpick technique!! :o)

[LMRink]

I had not thought about a paint brush or pin for stickles but always use a pin with crystal lacquer.

Can't wait until they put it in small jars, so you can use all of it. - Nancy aka Penelope
