Let's Get Crafty DIY Glimmer Mist # 19

[ladyinnominate]

I'm so glad I found this.  No way could I afford to go out and buy all the really nice glimmer mists. I already have an assortment of different metallic folk art paints and mod podge. I'm going to make my own. Thanks so much. :)

[BarbaraHenry]

Wonderful colors, you inspired me. I like yours better than theirs. :D

[Presleytanita]

This is absolutely awesome. I am going to try this out TFS!!!!!

[dncnqueen02]

I have been trying to make this and I have the aqua cool already as well as another pearl acrylic paint, but I wanted to use regular paint with a pearl paint and I keep "clogging" my bottle up. I maybe using too much color. I am still "experimenting" with it to try and get it to work. I want to use a sparkle glaze and regular colored paint as well. TFS.

[shelley20004]

[scrapeahappy]

@shelley20004 I don't see why not!

I tried and it worked great. Bought the spray bottle from Walmart & I was able to create variety of colors from your idea. Love it! Thanks for the tip!

[cardmaker007]

where do u live?

[scrapeahappy]

@cardmaker007 I am so happy that it worked for you! I am very happy with the homemade product! I think it works way better the store bought brands. In fact....I am going to give away the story bought one!

[sular99]

awesome! i will be trying this for sure.

[missshawn32]

Do you have to use metallic acrylic paint or can you use any acrylic. Thanks!

[missshawn32]

Do you have to use metallic paint or can you use any acrylic?

[traceyjanine]

Cool idea I'm gonna experiment with my supplies..

[askefran1]

I have not used any paints as yet. Can I use fabric paint? Also, I didn't think that last white mist you used was with pearl-ex. What kind of paint did you use?

[skiigal1]

Why do you put mod podge in it?

[scrapeahappy]

@skiigal1 The Modge Podge is used to allow the pearl ex to bond with the surface.

[cherry2425]

hmm I wondere if you can use the paint with alchol and hairspray technique i have seen others do but with reinkers and not paint..i'll have to try this. thanks!

oh what kind of paint did u use to get the pearl finish on the last one?

[scrapeahappy]

@cherry2425 Let me know how this works for you! I haven't tried alcohol! But that might be better! Pearl Ex was used for the last one!

[giftshoppe2]

I have my own and it is so so so much better. Thanks for sharing!

Extremely helpful !!! Thank you for your rendition !!! I need spray bottles biggie-time !!! Can't wait to try this. So excited !!!!

[sandybugg59]

Thank You so much so easy and I had turq pearl paint I'm hooked on this

[Luvleescrappin]

Great video...I'm going to try making some today!!! TFS ;-)

[scrapeahappy]

@Luvleescrappin Thanks so much for watching and commenting! This is a great recipe! I find it works very well for me! Let me know what you think of it once you try it!

[Luvleescrappin]

@scrapeahappy I tried it and LOVE it!!!! I can't stop making them LOL I have so many acrylic paints hahaha...I need more spray bottles now.

I wonder if you can use rubbing alcohol instead of water to help it dry faster??? I know some use it with re-inkers and alcohol inks...but what about with acrylic paints hmmmm??? Let me know if you tried it. Thanks again for sharing!!!

[scrapeahappy]

@scrapeahappy That is an interesting idea! I have never thought of using rubbing alcohol. Let me know if you try it too!

[aqtnsd]

Ok I found out what Pearl ex is... AND i made it to Micheals this afternoon for my paints and spray bottles and what a great turn out! Goodbye paying ridiculous prices for the name brand! THANKYOU for sharing!

[aqtnsd]

Is "Pearl ex" a product or just the type of paint?

[avallonmist]

I'm just curious, why use the Mod Podge? Does it add body or bulk or...??? I wonder if diluted Elmer's Glue would work just as well? Anyway, thanks for the demo, I have a

boat-load of Perfect Pearls just gathering dust because they didn't work worth a hoot for me, so I'm definitely going to try this.

[9doves]

Wonderful! Awhile back I tried mixing water and pearl ex in a Tim Holtz mini mister!!! Big mistake! It clogged so badly, I destroyed the spray bottle. :~( Glad to see you are having better luck with paint and a somewhat larger mister.

[corigarcia08]

what else can you use modge podge for? i have heard of it but don't know what it can be used for. just curious. thanks

[scrapeahappy]

@corigarcia08 Modge Podge can be used for Decoupage. It works great for sealing an album you might make! But you just have to take your time and have a little at a time so the paper doesn't buckle! you could also use it for any type of paper collage.

[msnikegirl]

This is awesome...thank you so much for sharing! I LOVE the difference in the way the color looks after spraying without the pearl x.....gives it some texture! Very pretty!

[scrapeahappy]

@msnikegirl

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I am very happy to read that you have had some great success with this! I know I am really enjoying my home made product too!

[debbiehayslrtte]

Works great! Thanks so much for sharing. : )

[PrincessColetti]

I'm defiantly going to give this a try I can not find glimmer mist in my area anywhere and the prices online a bit high. Thanks so much for sharing

[scrapeahappy]

@PrincessColetti I am so happy to read that you find this useful! You won't be disappointed. I was very hapy with the results! Others have shared that it is working very well for them too!

[PrincessColetti]

@scrapeahappy Wow my comment actually worked I've been having such a hard time getting my comments to post on you tube I don't know what is going on. I did give this a try I didn't have all the exact products that you used but I thought I would test it out anyway, It did shimmer for sure, It was little bit too watery but I'm going to try it again. Thanks again :)

[debbiehayslrtte]

I tried it and it works great!

[lisa1968]

I keep having issues with my spray bottle clogging. I get maybe 3 lovely spritzes out then it clogs :(

[armywife01]

@lisa1968 try diluting it more, or adding rubbing alcohol.

[CollectionThings12]

Hi thanks for the tutorial now i can make tones tones of glimmer mist by using paint......thank you thank you...

[scrapeahappy]

You won't be disappointed. The glimmer mist is way more sparkly than the name brand product!

[babytweetums]

I am so going out tomorrow to buy little bottles to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[luv2deathu2]

I wish I would have seen your video sooner. I just purchased 10 bottles of glimmer mist. I have quite abit of paint. Anyway thank you for your video. I will now be making my own glimmer mist. Your video was very helpful.

[forevercrafts]

thanks for posting this video. I can't justify spending $8.95 for one little bottle, but this is way cheaper and I have some of these paints already. thanks!

Melinda

[vakev8]

Great video thank you. Have always used ink not paint...will definately be giving your way a try. Paint is way cheaper than ink refills!

-April

[scrapeahappy]

@vakev8 Thank-you so much for the comments! Yes, I was also suprised at how much reinkers were. I would rather save those for my ink pads. This method worked fantastically! My favourite so far is the pearl coloured one. So pretty on papers!

[1tinac]

wonderful...thanks
