Great idea...I will have to look for bingo dobbers....where did you buy them...the only place I have ever seen them is at a bingo hall when I would take my Nana to bingo.

@1sunflowermel I bought mine at the local dollar store so you should be able to find some there =)

Hello, I love your idea. I don't drive either. I have an idea for you...for the ink you are tossing down the sink. Get an old dish pan and put the ink in with scrap paper..... leave your paper in the solution for a few minutes. Then let the paper air dry. You will have loads of shabby chic paper for craft with.

[LittleMissStamper]

Thanks! =) It is a high heel, lol. I bought it at Staples and was so mad a week later they came out with a pink one! lol

I found dauber tops at my LSS for a buck, they fit perfectly on the acrylic paint bottles. Right now I only have one but I haven't used it much because I really didn't know what to do with it.

2peasinabucket has a great series of classes here on YT, and there is a three part class on paint daubers/dabbers that shows some great techniques on how to use them. Now I want to get more and try them out!

Very clever idea.. Thanks for sharing! I have lots of pretty acrylics, I will make a few bottles of fun colors.

If you live near a Bingo hall, or know some little old ladies that play Bingo, I am sure they would be more than happy to give up their empty daubers....also, in the days of snail mail, they used to sell little bottles of daubers to stick the stamps...I saw some at the dollar store the other day...keep a look out for that!

you can actually buy empty bottles (dauber bottles) from oriental trading! i found this video trying to figure out what i should put in there... :) thanks for sharing!

[craftymama2007]
