Oops, it happened again. I scheduled this post over a week ago since I was out of state for 5 days. It went from "scheduled" to "draft". Aaaackkkk, sometimes Blogger just wants me to know that I am not in charge.
So, I guess late is better than not at all . . .
Happy Tuesday, Everyone. I wanted to give big Cricut hugs to Jennie, Carissa, and Kate. These fellow DT members have helped me by posting quick tips for the past several weeks. I so appreciate their help and, most of all, their fantabulous tips! Thanks, gals. Today's tip actually comes from a video that Jennie put me onto. I watched the video made by Linda at The Paper Boutique and decided to share her idea for making a homemade Quick Stick - that neat little sticky tool that helps you pick up tiny pieces to place on your projects. Here's what Linda suggests:
You'll need a stylus, or you can use the end of a paintbrush, and double-sided tape.
Wrap the end of the stylus with a small piece of the double-sided tape.
There you go! You can pick up the tiniest dot and place it on your project. Then, just remove the tape and reapply the next time you need a Quick Stick.
Thanks, Jennie, for sharing Linda's link. I really like this idea. I seem to get the sticky stuff from the actual Quick Stick everywhere but on the end of the stick LOL!
Your idea is so close to one I have used for years. I use and old stylus and made a small ball of Quake Hold (it is like a clay) and stuck it on the end of the stylus. After the clay gets a little old ( mine lasted a long time) just replace it with another small ball. My kids use this for picking up small things that have dropped into places that they can't reach.
