A foil cone drawn down to a sealed hair-fine point, banded with a white label reading Seta, Gutta Cone, Premium, For the North Finest and ARTIST QUALITY. Snip a whisker off the tip, squeeze, and it lays a raised glitter line - the mehndi-cone format put to work on cloth, glass and card.

The cone is the whole tool, and that is the argument for it. There is no brush to load, no nozzle to fit, no palette to set out and nothing to wash afterwards. For outlining a dupatta motif, edging a glass painting, running a border on a rakhi or a card, or laying gutta lines before silk colours are floated in, it goes from the drawer to the work in one movement.

The line it draws sits proud of the surface rather than soaking in, which is the point of a gutta. On silk it acts as a barrier that stops one colour bleeding into the next; on card and glass it is simply a raised glitter outline that catches light along its length.

At Rs. 220 a cone this sits with our other outlining routes rather than against them. Our Wamiq Hobby Glass Relief Paint Liner is a squeeze tube at around the same money and refills more conventionally. Our Art Glitter pots are Rs. 30 a colour but need glue underneath. Our Mont Marte Gold Foil Paint at Rs. 875 needs a brush but gives the most control of all three. The cone's particular strength is that it needs nothing else at all.

Two practical points. Cut only a whisker off the sealed tip - you cannot un-cut it, and a wide opening turns a fine line into a ribbon. Between sessions rest the cone tip-up in a jar so the contents settle back down rather than creeping out.

The range runs through silver, gold, copper, teal, blue, white, pink and black, in plain metallic and glitter finishes; the colour on your order is confirmed on WhatsApp along with stock and your city. We list it from 10 years up, since it takes steady squeeze pressure to keep the line even. The Safencia price is Rs. 220 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan.
