I think this method is good for smaller rhinestones or microbeads for decoden and nail art; I haven't tried to make the ball of wax bigger to see if it can pick up bigger rhinestones. But still I think this is a cheap and easy way to make your own rhinestone picker.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Candle
  • Dotting Tool
  • Lighter

Steps (5 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

    Here's a video tutorial~

  2. 2

    Step 1: Light the candle and wait for the wax around the wick to melt

  3. 3

    Step 2: Once a decent amount of wax has melted, blow out the candle.

  4. 4

    Step 3: You will want to dip your dotting tool in the wax when it's starting to cool and can harden quickly.
    *The first dip into the wax, you might want to press down into the unmelted wax to create that ball shape for a base*

  5. 5

    Step 4: Keep dipping your dotting tool until you have the desired size
    *If it doesn't come out in the shape that you want (ie: not round enough), you can always dip in the wax and shape it into a circle with your fingers (though be careful as wax might still be hot)*
