Thanks for sharing, I've tried the glitter paint before and the first few times it was ok but the big chunks of glitter clogged my sprayer. I'm going with the metallic from now on :0)

@designzbydebbz Yes, you're right. The glitter paint can definitely clog your sprayer and come out chunky. Metallic paint is the way to go! TFW!

try using rubbing alcohol instead of water, it drys faster and does not wrinkle the paper.

@ningram4 I have changed my glimmer mist dupe formula. I changed the water to rubbing alcohol a few months ago and I love it! It all dries super fast and doesn't warp paper like water does. Thanks for the suggestion though ;)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you SO MUCH! I only have one Tattered Angels glimmer mist because they are kind of pricey. THIS is going to be such a great, cheap alternative, I'll be able to make so many. YESSSS!!! Plus the paint I could use a coupon at Michael's and get it dirt cheap. I'm so excited, thank you!

@OneHappyCraftyChick You're sooo welcome! This option is great because out of one bottle of paint, you can create 5-7 bottles of shimmer sprays. Of course, it all depends on how much paint you add to each one. Plus, the paint often goes on sale...BONUS! Thanks for watching!

Hugs, Lina

I've been planning on making some of these... Do you ever have trouble with the little bottles not sealing well enough to keep the alcohol from drying out? I have bottles from the 99cent bin in the HBA section at WM and wasn't sure if they would seal well enough.

@blubonnettx You're very welcome ;) There are a ton of metallic paint colours out there and you can mix colours and get creative. It's a great alternative to pricey sprays. :) Thanks for your kind words!
