Is this the best thing for picking up little pieces of die cuts or tiny embellishments? I have one, but it is empty, and wondered what your go to tool is.

I have one like that (by silhouette) but if you want something inexpensive, i've heard great things about wax pencils (the ones for nail art).

I have been using the jewel picker that I bought on amazon for sequins. Works great.

My last one ran out of the sticky stuff and I immediately bought a new one. I love mine and I think it works great for picking up all the little bits and pieces, especially if I'm trying to adhere them to a specific spot on my layout/card.

QuickStick is my favorite. I love to do nail art. I used the wax pencil forever in both paper crafting and nail art. I switched to the QuickStick after a recommendation from a top nail artist. The jewel picker and the wax stick can leave discoloration.  Oh no! Good to know. Discoloration on paper? sequins? everything? |

Don't laugh, but I've been making my own version of for years. I had a few styluses left over from my old embossing days (remember all those little brass plates you used on a lightbox?) so I put a tiny drop of Tombow Mono Multi on one end and let it dry. It becomes tacky enough to pick up and place paper bits and yet releases easily. I have a super fine and a larger size and just store them sticky side up in my pen cup so they're always handy. Every once in awhile I peel the Tombow booger off and refresh the sticky end. Easy, quick, and cheap!  |

I have the Quickstick and also recently bought the Marvy jewel picker which works great.

I had a QuickStik and hated it. I couldn't get the sticky stuff to stop oozing out of the applicator. What I use is something most of you with small children probably have around. I use a clear crayon. You know, the kind you get in Easter egg decorating kits; the resist crayon. It works like a charm. If you don't have a clear crayon, another color will do. I have white ones that I grabbed when my kids were little.
