    Hey this is a great idea however a simpler idea is just using a crayon 🖍️ been using for years picks up great 👍🏾

    What a clever idea! I have tried to use pliers and tweezers before and it was always a complete disaster. I bought one of those pickers eventually but gee, I wish I knew this little trick then. I could have saved some money. Thank you for sharing that Carol!

    Always like seeing creative ideas with what you have at home! Never thought of candle wax. I personally use a hot glue gun to dot both ends with glue. You can use a toothpick, orange stick, pencil, pen with cap (dot the cap)... really any stick-like item. You can shape it while it is hot, but you can also file it to shape when it's cool. Works great picking up sequins and stones.

    Great and inexpensive idea! Thanks for sharing. It's the same concept as the picker that comes in the packet of Painting With Diamonds. So if anyone has an extra one, you have a picker. One comes in each package of painting with diamonds project. Have an awesome day. :)

  • @evelyndickie83
    @evelyndickie83 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Does the candle wax not fall apart after it dries? Does it have to be a lit candle or can it be melted wax in like a wax burner?

    • @refunctioncrafts4928
      @refunctioncrafts4928  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven’t had trouble with them falling apart but I do make several of them when I make them. You can’t use the wax from the burners because it is too oily. It needs to come from a candle that isn’t too oily. The oil tends to make it slippery. They certainly don’t last forever but I love them. Thanks for your question. ♥️

    • @evelyndickie83
      @evelyndickie83 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @refunctioncrafts4928

      Yes it will. They work like a charm. Just make sure the wax you use is somewhat sticky. You will know the first time you pick up a rhinestone because it will pick up with ease.

    • @refunctioncrafts4928

      No, it barely sticks to the wax but if it does, just buff the rhinestone with a soft cloth and it will be good as new. ♥️

      Thank you for your reply which generates new question:
      Since each rhinestone has many sides, that require a lot of buff with a soft cloth. In addition, I am working with hundreds of tiny, small to mid size rhinestones (to cover the entire two flat shoes) (3 pairs) , buffing ALL with a soft cloth would be even more efforts.

      @refunctioncrafts4928  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, I would place the rhinestones close together because once you stretch the lace, you don’t want it to come out looking to sparse. It really depends on what you are looking for as far as how the lace will stretch when the item is being used. What are you making?
