DIY resist spray

[@sarahmoss4224]

Have to say how inspiring you are on lots of subjects.I was short of blending tools for my ink pads and was going spend lots of money on some until I watched you.I thought I can make my own.I used some 1 person mini jam jars 1.5" round and stuck circles of some some sponge cleaning cloths we get in the UK.The jars were free as local hotel was throwing them away,the cloths cost me 50p each and I got 12 blenders from each.They work better than the Tim Holtz .A big thank you from Sarah from Nottingham England (Robinhood area) so you know where your many viewers watch you from xxx

Woman, you are a genius! I love how you share your ideas, I love your rambly way of talking (not meant to offend, I'm like that myself very much, so it's a relief to find somebody who talks like me ;-) ) I've got no money, but a strong urge to be creative, and your tips and tricks have made my stash of art supplies so much bigger and the possibilities are endless now. These days, when I see something I love to make, I don't think "oh, but I can't afford that". No, these days, I just go "Oooh, let's see if Lindsay has a video on this", and ohwyeah, you ususally have!!!!! Thank you so so much, you've made my artsy world so much bigger.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I just saw your question on the thin foam, you can use rubber cement to attach layers of foam to make it thicker and better for stamping. Apply rubber cemect to both prices you want to attach, let it dry 5 minutes then press both peices together. You will have a thick foam sta.p then :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I clean them with homemade stamp cleaner (Simple Green plus water) before it dries. I think glitter will clog the sprayer but you can try sprinkling on the wet spray, just go easy with it because you don't want you ink pads to get glittery when you ink up the paper.

[@kimroman4059]

I just made something similar to this after seeing your video, and it worked wonderfully! I used multi-media clear acrylic varnish from Sax, Createx acrylic pearl medium and water. My mixture was thicker and more pearly, but what a cool resist effect it had with dye inks and watercolor! I also used my water soluble oil pastels and watercolor pencils blended with water over them and that was fun too. Thank you for sharing!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

sure you can color it but I think it is more useful to keep it clear and let it dry and use other inks over it, that way you can use it with any paper or ink combos but we all use our supplies differently so if a colored resist spry floats your boat go for it!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes it is! I have some W&N too but I have not spray applied it, add a little bit at a time and test your sprayer, too much might clog it as I think it is chunkier than the blick;)

[@relevant.c5411]

I used Liquitex high gloss varnish straight into a mister (add nothing to it). Got fabulous results! More raised effect than anything else i have tried. Good luck and enjoy!!!

[@faigie2002]

Relevant Property Management Services Did it clog up your sprayer after a while?

[@lynn2cu]

I have used the goosebumbs and it does have a texture but is can be pricey. This would be a very frugal way to share the process with a larger group of friends who want to play and jsut have fun experimenting. Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing

[@belindaw5849]

You are so clever! Thank you for showing us how to make these things to save money. I appreciate all that you do!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I made the ink dauber by folding a foam make-up applicator in half and hot gluing into a plastic bottlecap. I use regular cheap old Georgia Pacific cardstock from sams club/walmart.

[@yviwinchester814]

Oh my look at our smart as "heck" lindsay at 2013.... and Tim Holz just came out with his "new" resist spray in this years creativation 2018 convention LOL Kudos to you lindsay, you really rock!!! and Tim Holz can really learn from you!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

hahaha, I thought that when I saw his spray, this one works just like it! It was a dupe of the goosebumps spray which appears to be the same as the TH spray.

[@jade0626]

That's what I was thinking!! Great minds and all. lol

[@susanp9097]

I was wondering the same thing. Then I read through the comments not knowing what goosebumps were and had seen the TH brand. Can't thank you enough Lindsay! You go girl!

[@lollabells6121]

I came across your videos a few months ago, and have been BINGE WATCHING! I love that you are into so many crafts - I AM TOO! And that you have solutions, frugal, storage, diy for EVERYTHING! I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your videos & blog, I am on a very tight budget! I have Chronic illnesses that were triggered by an accident, and though I can no longer work full time (I listen to my body), I still love art! I was a photographer & did a lot of freelance writing prior to getting into my accident, but afterwards writing the way I used to was very hard for me, I also suffered a brain injury. My physical therapists and pain doc have been phenomenal in helping me use my creative side to heal. I spent some time in the hospital after my accident, and my PT there introduced me to journaling, I was really depressed at first. I couldn’t hold my camera the same way, it was hard to form words and get out my emotions- one way I expressed how I felt was through my photography and writing, and that was gone.. BUT that didn’t last long, I just had to re-adjust a few things. Knitting & crochet & sewing became WONDERFUL physical therapy tools for me, I learned how to draw - and my OWN photos were my subjects. Then the WONDERFUL WORLD OF art journaling! Oh my!! My physical therapist in the hospital did this as a hobby and he introduced me to this. He would stay late, and a few of us would set up in the craft room and one time we looked up the sun was coming up! The nurses told us they didn’t want to interrupt us, they see so much anxiety, sadness & depression - but when they looked in on us they saw us laughing, talking about our future and that was good, they knew this was a healing for all of us. It was - and it has been. That was six 1/2 years ago, since I have done so many journals, I decided I was going to document first my illnesses, what it like living with this, then my illness no longer defined me - it was just something about me, like people have blond hair, or live in Rhode Island, or have a big family. So my journals became about my art, my photography, life going on around me. It was then I realized HOW MUCH art & crafting HAS BEEN a healing process and important part of my life. I still Knit, crochet, sew, paint, do photography, journal, and I have also added in gardening, & card making (& a lot of what goes under those) I do almost everything DIY and this last winter I took the plunge and started doing furniture too - which is SO RELAXING! There is something about the sanding, stripping down part of it that i love! I can look at total piece of junk and see something other people see as TOTAL JUNK! LOL when I am done, they are stunned it’s the same piece! In many of your videos you have said you teach or did, and you can tell, you do a fantastic job! So I wanted to finally comment after watching MANY of your videos! I have learned so much from your posts, and i enjoy them very much! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! It is refreshing to know I can come to your channel and find help for just about anything I need help with, and I am always met with a smile and warm greeting - yes your energy definitely rubs off!! Again thank you!! Always look forward to new videos and finding your older tutorials for stuff that is NEW TO ME!

[@blackitten2]

So cool! I could see even dipping an old toothbrush in the puddle of resist and shaking onto the card stock. Love your examples. Thanks for sharing!

[@janicefj3530]

I love all the frugal things you come up with!

[@loststamper]

intensify the resist but leave the ink on paper ok. so thanks a billion, Lindsey, I soooooo love this. Now I want to try it with my super glossy mod podge. you really got my craftiness moving!

[@functionoflight]

Said it before. I'll say it again. You're a little, blond genius!! Thanks for the great idea.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes but use less because it is thicker, make sure you shake it really well before you try and spray it.

[@MaryEllen1484]

love your ideas for making our own craft supplies. So often they are very simple recipes, but in the stores so expensive! Super fun.

[@marthaltoner4087]

Thank you so very much for all your wonderful ideas. You are blessed with an active imagination. You certainly have a special gift. The best part for me is that you are willing to share your gift. Thank you.

[@kryssygee4814]

Genius ideas!!! Love how you used it with a stamp too!!!

[@annatracy757]

Wow, you should really re-do this tutorial!!! This looks like those new Oxide Distress inks but with what we already have!!! Can't wait to give it a try, thank you.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

either should be great! you just might need to add more or less water, it is not hard to figure out what you need tho;)

[@loststamper]

Oh, WOW! Really love all your BG's..! They are all yummy colors and love the way they came out. I cannot wait to try this... really...like right now!

[@laurakenney100]

So pretty. Looks like underwater coral reef or something. Love it. Great diy!

[@loststamper]

O.K.! tried/tested...LOVE...it is exactly like your samples. I did have to add almost twice as much glue. I was using what I had, scotch quick dry & watercolor paper cuz I just bought the michaels brand, no shimmer my sprayers & I have diff. brands, always seem to clog no matter what I do. and a happy accident. I used distress ink and was 'flicking' to add more distress layers and spilled some water and found I could wipe with a bit of water on paper towel and it would

[@FrootbatBat]

Love this idea- such pretty cards!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes I think so as long as the shimmer particles are not too thick;)

[@annotatedaudrey]

What a creative idea! I love how crafty you are Lindsay. I can't wait to try this spray.

[@mcescher1957]

Yes, the Goosebumps IS textured, but as far as looks go, your dupe version looks identical! Great idea, thanks!! I will definitely try it when my bottle of GB runs dry!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

how bumpy is it? I think if I had anything thick in my sprayer it would clog, Keep your GB spray bottle because it is probably super!

[@TheOldladyB]

Love the effect that the spray gives. Am so going to make some. Thanks for sharing. Darlene.

[@angelhelp]

Your videos have comprised the basis for many of my art classes this coming school year; thank you SO much!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

did you find these: www.dickblick.com/products/blick-liquid-watercolors/ it is metallic pearl and any of the other metallic colors, they are great, honestly you might not even want to bother with the eyeshadows you were asking about if you have these;)

[@angelhelp]

thefrugalcrafter . Aha... I was expecting only the word "pearl" and thought I saw the wrong thing. I shall try both methods. Thanks again! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes, it is called DIY_glimmer_spray_ink_and_daubers and you can find it on my channel, just search it;)

[@manjar50]

Another fantastic idea... I will surely try this one... I have recommended you to my Daughter in law for some of your great cheap ideas. keep up the good work.

[@chelebelle1120]

Great video! Not only did I learn a new technique but now I have another color combo to try! I never would've thought to use vintage photo with barn door and wild honey!! Thanks!

[@cloverrabbit5622]

I love the effects from the glue and inks, very cool. I guess I didn't need to buy all those ranger distress inks/oxides after all! haha Thanks Lindsay. Have a great weekend. 😁

[@danneward]

I love your idea about recycling for crafts and saving money. Thank-you.

[@suzieq1024]

This is so cool! I wonder if color can be added to the spray . Make a few different colors , spray one or more colored resist sprays and then ink over top of those. It may look dimensional......thanks for sharing!

[@catheyderosacrafteyced1677]

You have me hooked, Lindsay. You are amazing and explain things so well. I take notes and hope to use these wonderful techniques after.....I finish the five projects I have going on!!

[@digupstuff]

FANTASTIC TUTORIAL HERE!!! Oh my! Look at that leaf in the batch you made! It looks like it's on FIRE!!! WOW!!! TFS luvy! ♥

[@trealkid007]

Great, now I have to wait till I get off work to try this wonderful idea out. Thanks for your videos. Love them.

[@jesusredeemed]

Thank you, Lindsay! I have wanted to get some Goosebumps and to know that I can make my own is AWESOME!!!! Love this tutorial!

[@tharp769]

This tip/technique would make a beautiful background. Especially how the demo leaf was less prominent. Thx again, Lindsey!💖

[@tharp769]

P.S. I love savin' me some $$ too!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes, the cheapest cardstock I can find works great, it is Georgia Pacific #110 from Sam's Club 250 sheets for $7! Walmart has it too is smaller amounts;)

[@queengammyraz]

i make the same daubers, but i use the caps from my 20oz soda bottles. They work just great. I love your videos and I'm going to make this resist spray too.

[@t000dle000]

Another genius, innovative idea I'm looking forward to trying. You're always full of great surprises. Keep 'em coming!

[@Designsbyizzi]

You are so creative, i can't get enough of what you can make! It's crazy! :)

[@karonxls]

My thoughts exactly

[@bettytolbert7056]

I really like your DIY resist spray!! I can put that to good use with my watercolors! Thank You!

[@lndtlr]

Thank you, Lindsay, you're always so informative and fun to watch!!!

[@DeeLightfulCo]

I'm with you! Especially with so much stuff out there that you just have to have.... thanks for the help with making our own supplies. Dee

[@lisamr40]

Love this idea! Love that butterfly! I'm going to have to try thus tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I folded a make-up wedge in half and hot glued the ends into a bottle cap;) Pretty technical huh? and yes there is a video LOL!

[@sherronrobinson6772]

Hi Lindsey. So glad to hear that your husband is on the road to recovery!! Thanks again for working your magic. Does Aileen's Original Tacky Glue work in this recipe? What about some of the gel mediums such as Golden Matte medium? Thanks again!!

[@LittleWillie1000]

Love love love. Going to try this with other stuff since I am not a a stamper and do not have stamp inks.

[@sandraweaver6337]

I can't wait to try this resist spray out. Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes at local craft fairs and sometimes to blog/youtube fans;)

[@palmspringsable]

Love your videos! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks! Sandy in beautiful Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada

[@blahblahart5]

I am so glad I subscribed to you. Your tips/techniques are incredible. I have a few questions please. 1. How do you clean your stamps if its Non-washable glue? 2. Could you use glitter ink instead of the liquid watercolor? 3. Please don't stop making videos?! Thank you.

[@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife]

Wow, this is great!! I love how you did the leaf, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your great DIY resist spray. I am going to make this, Thank you!!

[@bethc503]

I LOVE your bottle cap dabbers. ❤️

[@CraftyLoops]

Fabulous technique. Looks brilliant. Lee x

[@candipill]

OoOOOOoooooh Lindsay, I think of all the cool stuff that you have shown us how to make - this is going to be the most fun - even more than homemade stamp pad ink. I magine that ou could even use this like a sticky embossing liquid for glitter etc! Too fun, I am going to try it in a second!

[@melreally]

love this...do you have a video of how you made you daubers? thanks

[@marilyntodd3776]

You are so clever! I am amazed. Keep up the good work.

[@johnabbot1585]

You were the first on line craft/art show (video) when I was new to being on line. Any way I was flabbergasted at your techniques and zainyness...hilarious Lol

[@mollydrinkard274]

Great idea! Goosebumps sprays are dimensional, but I can definitely imagine times when you want the resist without texture. Love your bids, I've learned sooooo much from you. Thanks

[@TheKserwin]

I watched this again to get the "recipe" and I started thinking about how cool it would look with the outer space watercolor painting.

[@Emilie19614]

Loved the video now have to look for Shimmer Liquid Watercolor medium.

[@anablogs9284]

You can't imagine how happy I am to have found your channel O_O! First you got me to try my pencil watercolors (the shout out on wordpress with the daffodils?) and now this, and so much more, it's like my mind is exploding with stuff to do!

[@LibraMoonScorpioSun]

You are such a clever artist. I really enjoy your videos. TFS!

[@Melissa_Melissa_503]

Awesome. When I get a spray bottle ill have to try it

[@sharondunn8957]

Loved your demo! Must try. Thanks for sharing!

[@jenniferhovermale8488]

Love this!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! Love ya Lindsay!!

[@aclark30121]

Hi Lindsay--you are so comical--and so practical as well--I love your videos--this one ranks high on my list--keep up the good work--

[@mypaperstash]

Could I use thinned shimmery paint in place of liquid water color? Thanks a bunch for the idea

[@froebelsternchen]

fab recipe Lindsay! Thank you.. that´s just a hit!

[@Itsapieceofart]

Thumbs up for this video..great job!! But i dont have ink ...can I use water or acrylic color with sponge instead of ink?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

plain cheap cardstock. I used the Georgia Pacific (250 shets for $7 at Sams club or wal mart) but any will work! Easy peasy and cheap is good!

[@karonxls]

I do love all of your videos thank you for sharing them with us for free.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks!

[@effie924]

what a great economic way to make some great backgrounds.... How did you make the dobber's ? did I miss that video? fun stuff lady thank you.

[@galatea009]

I really love your ideas. Thumbs up!

[@erink88]

Can't wait to try this!

[@janenepike8283]

Thank you Lindsay.

[@rickiquilt]

You are the bomb!!! I just love watching your ideas!! Thank you so much. I know this is an old video...but, hey if you haven't seen it...it's new!!! Love me some Lindsey.

[@jesseb5112]

This looks awesome, but one of the neat features of the TH one is that you can heat emboss with it. I think I will eventually get the TH one, but thanks for this. Its going to be fun to play with

[@thefrugalcrafter]

ha ha foosebumps, love it, I'll put it next to my faux-latos LOL!

[@susannonn5352]

Loved you video, definitely two thumbs up. I would like to try it on gourds. I followed your video and went to papermart and was curious if you used the 13/16 or 15/16 sprayer.

[@Cynergific]

How clever. I'm going to have to try this. Thanx

[@CharliFerns]

thank you! love that you are quick and to the point with your explanations.. over and above your wonderful creativity :)

[@irisshubert]

Hi Lindsay Love this idea! Could you color your spray resist too, to have even more options?!You probably addressed that and I missed it. I always watch again.You are and endless supply of inspiration and ideas. I look forward to looking in to see what you've shared with us.Always suprised, never disappointed :) Take care Lindsay. Iris,SavedbyGrace

[@lesleyklepper]

You ate brilliant.

[@vikingwoman3372]

i absolutly loved this :) now all i need are some watercolor in bottles to use... the rest i got

[@JenEvers]

So cool! Do you think Aleene's tacky glue would work? This is great! If you find a way to texturize it, I'd be all about that too! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!! I am looking for some ladies to split the bottles with me.. :) xoxo Jen

[@anitaalbert2477]

goosebums - that is funny - goosebumps -- great video

[@silvermckenzie]

another great frugal tut. thumbs up

[@janenepike8283]

Hi Lindsay, Love this idea thanks for sharing this. Is there an alternative i can use instead of the liquid water colour?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Janene Elise Pike you can leave it out or use metallic eyeshadow:)

[@SheilaHultgrenArtplay]

definitely going to try tis. Love the technique!

[@hesanflicka8208]

Thank you so much for this. I love the effect! Do you need to clean the stamps in any specific way?

[@scraplynn]

Simply brilliant.. Thanks!
