Amazing HACKS For Enamel Drops! Use Them In NEW Ways!

[@darlenegreen1089]

I absolutely love the dots. And I found a better way to use them, without getting flat. But I found that if you make your dots on wax paper or art (palet) paper and let them dry. Then just pop with them off and they don't flatten out!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Yes!!!! Brilliant idea thank you

[@scrapbook]

Wow, Mary! We love all of the hacks you shared! This DEFINITELY gave us some new ideas!

[@marypolancodesigns]

YAY! THank you so much! I had a blast with them

[@pamjohnson3784]

You always think outside the box and come up with some of the neatest uses for products! Love the one you "smooshed"! 💖👍👏👏

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thanks so much Pam! I really enjoyed trying to think of new ways because I have so many of these drops. lol

Awww thanks Barbara! You're so sweet, thank you and you as well

[@lindadodge4574]

Mary! I have a zillion bottles of enamel that I can't use because they don't work like they did when they were new. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of using them with embossing paste. Brilliant!

[@marypolancodesigns]

I wonder if you could open them up and add something to get them moving again. I sold a lot of mine because they were just sitting there. I probably should have tried some of these ideas first. haha

Great ideas! Another fun thing to try would be to stamp an image, then outline it with black “pops”, then fill in each section with color for a stained glass effect! Gonna play around and see what happens! Ty for the inspiration! ❤️🦋💜

[@vickirivera1052]

Okay. When you added the paste to the color...that's what i was thinking about. Add starch, flour something to stabilize and thicken it so you could make the faux wax seal.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Ooooh I'm gonna need to hear more about this idea...more details please! lol

[@vickirivera1052]

[@karenhankerson330]

Loved the ideas. What is embossing paste is it like Gesso? This is the first time I heard about enamel ink. They loo soo cool and versatile. 😎👍💓

[@marypolancodesigns]

Embossing past dries a little more puffy than Gesso. It's the paste version of using an embossing folder.

[@karenhankerson330]

Thank you for clarifying. I have many stencils and that seems so easy to use since I don't have any embossing plates. A whole new world has opened up. Wow! Thanks.

[@janiebrown5972]

I wonder if you could mix the enamel drops in to melted wax to make a seal, or would it separate. I’m off to experiment 🙂

[@marypolancodesigns]

Oooh, you must let me know how that goes!

I loved the stencil/embossing idea!!! BTW, your nails look beautiful! Have you tried the SB.com mat yet?? I think it's silicone one

Not yet, but it's on the way. I like the price point; I think it's only like $10

@@marypolancodesigns I hope you do a video on it....would love to see it

just a thought, if you use a clear glue gun drop, add the enamel on top then stamp it might work. i don't own enamel dot items so i cannot try it myself.

Thanks for ideas, bit sorry you didn’t try & perhaps compare any others you have because it felt a little like an adv for the supplier. Sure it wasn’t , just a heads up 😄

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thanks so much for the feedback. I would say if people have these colors in other brands, you don't need these by any means. They are similar enough to probably get the same results. I did really appreciate the consistency of them though. :)

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

Your ingers all finky, huh?? Getting your mix all talked up there, girl. Here's another idea: you can use your drops AS embossing paste thru a stencil. Looks cool with glitter or pearlescent drops.
