DIY Rhinestone Pick-Up-Tool

The rhinestone pick-up-stick you are seeing on my latest video “Flying Piggy” is actually a tablet pen. The pen didn’t really work with my tablet. Instead of throwing away a perfectly fine looking but not working pen, I decided to make it into something that I can use.
I need a rhinestone pick-up-stick.

No wonder the tablet pen didn’t work, I only paid $1 for it. ^_^ EBay…
I am one cheap girl. Click on the image below, if you want to purchase it. It’s really $.99, if you really want to count every penny. Yup, it free shipping. The only down side is waiting for it to get to you. Since it is so cheap, it will take over 2-3 weeks. Yea, prepare to wait that long.
Like what I said, it didn’t really work for tablet pen. I tried scratching, poking and gliding on the surface of the tablet and IT DOESN’T WORK.
There are alot of rhinestone pick-up tool out there for sell. The price range can go from $2 - $10, not including shipping. Few Examples below,
I personally never use any of the tools above. So, I don’t really know how them perform. If you like to purchase them, click on the images.
To be honest, you don’t even have to buy the tablet pen to make a rhinestone pick up tool. You do need a flat surface point pen-like stick. What you really need is a double sided tape. I bought mine at my local dollar store. You can buy it online. Yea… you can buy anything online nowadays. Click below.
I love EBay. Free Shipping. ^_^
How to make the tool…

Take a piece of double sided tape. Have the pen ready.

Place the tape on the flat end of the pen. Press the tape firmly to the base so they can stick together. 
Trim the excess tape from the pen.

There it works just like a pro. ^_^
May you be happy,
