I've never done this type of craft before and used it to put rhinestones on my grandson's Christmas stocking spelling out his name. It took me 12 hours to do it but it was very easy. I'm 55 years old and am surviving breast cancer so I get tired out easily. But this was so fun and had me so happy and excited with the final results that I'm already deciding on what to decorate next with this handy tool. I didn't have any problems picking up the stones and when I did it was because I didn't press down hard enough on the rhinestone when I was trying to grab it. I had more problems trying to keep the rhinestones from flipping upside down on my tray than anything wrong with this tool. I like that the attachments has it's own little case. I wish there was a case or pouch that I could put the whole set (wand and attachments) into. For now I'll just keep them in a sock. Lol. I would and WILL recommend this item to my friends.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter who wanted a bedazzler. After looking at the terrible bedazzler reviews, I decided to go with something that was better quality. First of all, we absolutely love it. It does take a few jewels to practice, but after you get going, it is great. I would recommend this to anyone interested in a bedazzler.

The product was very inexpensive and worked well. Sometimes I had trouble picking up the gems with it, but that could have been more user error than an issue with the applicator. I would recommend it, I've made some really cool things with it!

I bought this to "bedazzle" my daughters dress for a pageant...so far and three events later NO beads have fallen off. It is pretty easy to use. The only tip I've had success with is the flat one -- I couldn't get the other ones to grasp the gem without first setting it to the surface they were laying on. So I placed each gem in the spot I wanted and set it using the flat tip. Hopefully I'll have more time to try the other tips...also I did not use the expensive gems! I bought the white crystal hot fix gems from JoAnn's and they worked perfectly!

I would have given this product 5 stars but it doesn't pick up the stones like it says it should. Wound up sticking a couple of stones to my craft table trying to pick them up with the wand. Tried several sized heads. Just wasn't happening. Besides that I love it. It didn't burn my fabric when my hand slipped which is another huge plus.

I got this cheaper than the ones they sell in the craft stores. I works great. My 11 year old stepdaughter and I play with it. We love it. You can add rhinestones to fabrics real fast with this tool.

First project was a success. Used setter to adhere rhinestones to a hard shiney plastic. Applicator picked up the rhinestones better than expected. Had trouble picking up a couple but most hooked in with ease. I think the rhinestone was in crooked a couple times or the glue ran off and stuck to the applicator, causing the rhinestone to get stuck in holder. Was able to get the rhinestone out by sliding a thin metal stick in the slot and pushing it out. Was able to use the rhinestone still. Had fun using it just need more rhinestones now.

I purchased this applicator for cardmaking. We do handmade cards for our top clients and this year each card's design includes 10 rhinestones. I figured the easiest way to do it was with an applicator but when the applicator arrived and I read the instructions, it takes up to several seconds for each rhinestone. I have a hundred cards which translates into a thousand rhinestones... simply too much time. It is easier to dab glue and place each rhinestone. All rhinestones are placed in about 20 seconds. I can see where it might be good for setting rhinestones if you were only doing it on fabric or on a few items but not when you're working in bulk... on paper...

I liked the "hotfix" the only thing is I do not know were to get the rhinestones in stores instead of online

It does everything it said it would. Takes a little practice to get it to pick up the rhinestones but it doesn't try your patience at all. Just need a gentle touch. I'm very pleased with this product:>)
