Mandala Dotting Tools- 16 Sizes from 0.5mm to 8mm - Recycled Plastic

These dotting tools are the best I have found and used. They are lightweight and easy to hold and manipulate with the hands. They feel natural and comfortable in the hand, like a writing instrument and about as long. They are durable, easy to clean with warm soapy water if paint has dried, otherwise they wipe off easily with a cloth, either damp or dry. They do not stain. They make accurate, crisp dots. They hold paint very well and can adequately hold enough paint to walk about 5-6 dots depending on paint consistency. I have used diy tools, Mark's Mandala's, Lydia Mae's, and these...I prefer these for both quality and price.

Amazing products for dot painting, great performance, each end is numbered great value for the money.

I haven't been dot painting for very long, but I've purchased all sorts of different dotting tools and these I have to say, are hands down, the best dotting tools I've ever used!They are sized to perfection! Absolutely fabulous! So grateful!

I like the flat-tipped tools more than the ball-end ones, so I got these. Great tools and a MUCH better price than anywhere else!! It's nice that each has its number impressed into the plastic...except they're FAR too small to read without putting them right up to your face. Ok, I'm 65, but my eyes aren't that bad. Just wish they were bigger. I had to mark mine with a permanent marker. Otherwise, excellent set!UPDATE: This isn't a huge deal, but as for "dipping in boiling water for 10 sec. to clean them"...forget it. The stuff does not wipe off. You have to scrape it, which you can do without boiling water. I wipe mine (sometimes after dunking in water, sometimes not), but the paint still builds up. The tips are all that really matter, but I have to mark the numbers on mine much larger in a bright color, and eventually the paint blots them out. They're better than they were, but as for "easy to clean"...nope.

There is a wide variety of sizes. They are VERY easy to use and clean. My one preference would have been for the surfaces to be slightly padded. I work on a lot of rocks and the surfaces can have pits and cracks that padded tools can get into but these cannot. I would be willing to have a tool less easy to clean in exchange for a tool that can handle rough surfaces better.

I paint rocks, and bought this set of dotting tools specifically for that purpose. I am a novice, and still on a bit of a learning curve, but I have found this set easy to use and comfortable to hold (about the size and shape of a pencil). The dotting surface is flat (rather than some that are more spherical) and so I have to be careful to keep the tool perpendicular to the surface, or I don't get a round dot. The size gradation makes it easy to create designs and to put smaller dots in bigger dots.

These were pricey but I really love them. I am an artist and love to do pointillism in my work. These are great and give consistent dots.

I like these because I can get a consistent size dot when I'm doing Mandala dot art on smooth rocks. I always wipe clean with a damp towel as I work. Thus, clean up is a snap.It does take a bit of practice to get the amount of paint right on your tool.In my opinion, these are a great addition to my rounded tools I've already been using for my art.
