Crystal crafter
It goes without saying that I like a little bling in my world. Last year I was at the Sewing and Quilting Expo and pick up one of these cute hot-fix crystal-setters, made by Kandi Corp and sold as the Victoria Lynne Crystal Crafter.
I finally broke it out of the box and kicked the tires, which for ME means trying it out on fabric, paper, plastic, and polymer clay. The bottom line is that it is a great price point- under $20.00- but has a few drawbacks, too.
Take a minute to click on over to CraftCritique to read my full review, and then come on back and leave me a comment here. I’m going to give away a pair of earrings I made from the bling-ed up guitar picks I made during my review process. Here they are as picks–
Guitar picks w/ Swarovski Hot-Fix Crystals
I’ll have a picture of the finished earrings soon…as soon as I find my flush-cutter and get them all done!

For under $20, I’m willing to tolerate a few flaws. It looks like you’re capable of doing good work with them and that’s all that matters.

I agree. It’s an awesome price point. Too bad I’m a Swarovski crystal snob…they AREN’T cheap. But waaaayyy better then the other hot-fix crystals, by far. Totally worth it. Thanks for your comment!
