The Chrome metal end can be used to firmly push the pearl/crystal etc into the glue or move it around to get a perfect positioning! One big advantage over competitor pick up tools is that both the Katana and the Tanto quickly release the pearl/rhinestone when it is touched to a glue drop.īefore I got the Katana, I had bought a Silhouette pick me up tool which is super for quickly picking up tiny pearls and beads but refuses to let go of it once it picks it up.requiring additional effort of using some other tool to release it !

The Wax used is specially formulated and said to be much superior to normal wax as it leaves no residue on the pearl/crystal it picks up - an important consideration for professional jewelry makers working with crystals The Crystal Katana has a lightweight wooden body with a special wax tip at one end and a chrome metal end at the other end To easily and quickly pick up and release tiny embellishments such as there are several you tube videos showing her cover a Ferrari in Swarovski crystals using her tool the Crystal Katana for the Guinness record! These awesome tools were invented by Kellie DeFries who works extensively with Swarovski crystals and has used the Crystal Katana to completely cover in crystals some crazily huge stuff such as cars, whole dresses to name a few. And so these tools make your crafting easier, quicker and more fun!! In simple language these are 'pick up' tools to help pick up any tiny teeny embellishment such as pearls, sequins, tiny rhinestones etc. Ok what exactly are the Crystal Katana and Tanto?

So I was just itching to get my hands on a tool which will help me use all those tiny pearls and crystals in my projects!Īnd was thrilled when Shalini brought a whole series of Crystal Ninja products to her shop Crafters Corner post CHA 2016 I don't have super nimble fingers or the patience of a saint ,neither do I like to wrestle with tweezers and a tiny sequin or chase runaway flying pearls! If you are like me you must have marvelled at how crafters use tiny pearls so extensively in their projects making beautiful eye-catching lattices and borders and wondered how they had the patience to work with those fiddly little embellishments! the Crystal Katana and the Tanto which have been getting rave reviews from crafters all over the world and being recommended left and right by jewelry makers, papercrafters and DIY ers! I had no hesitation in choosing 2 tools from Crystal Ninja.

When Shalini asked me what product I wanted to work with for my DT post. Hi friends delighted to see the enthusiastic participation in my Celebration Events.Thank you so much !
