Love these stickles.. I have a variety of colours for when I make cards for all occasions. So easy to use and great glittery results. You can make each tube go a long way if you squeeze a little out on an acrylic board and with a fine brush.. paint on the stickles especially for fine areas. Where you don't want a big glob of it. Make sure to wash the acrylic board and keep the brush just for stickles.
