In fact, I use bamboo sticks to draw the designs and altho it's more
difficult than the cones, I am used to it and can draw really fast!
But lately I tried something fascinating!
A syringe with a metal tip fixed on the top of it! you just have to
buy a syringe for oral use( especially for babies) and a metal tip
that you can find in different sizes in a craft shop!
It is very easy to fix the tip to it and you would love the results!
Give it a try!

: I like cones because you can henna all day and feel no pain, but I
: just can't deal with the paste coming out in triangles. I know
it's
: a matter of practice, but I just don't have the precision i need
with
: cones. I like the precision and control of Jacquard bottles, but I
: can't use them without severe pain after an hour or so straight,
and
: I hurt for days afterward. I finally found a solution! A lovely
: lurker sent me a box of pastry tips. They have one which is about
: the same as a .7 Jaquard tip, and one that's even smaller than
a .5.
: I put one of these in a carrot bag and I can relxedly, lazily,
: comfortably do the most delicate, precise designs I can dream up.
I
: am so so so very happy that I now have the best of both worlds!!!
I
: highly recommend it.
