How to Make a Spin Box

[@acrylic.paint-pour.clogger]

What a great job sharing your ingenuity and your home-made spinning box. I'm going to keep my eye on the trash in our neighborhood.... for the perfect box.

[@nrrdgrrl4life365]

I immediately fell in love with you and your awesomeness as soon as you said, "Well, this is a box I found on the side of the road." I have done that lots of times. Every time I go to Goodwill or someplace like that, I always snag some boxes. I can't tell you how many boxes i've covered in acrylic paint drippings since i started acrylic pouring back in early August. lol. I now have a lovely LoLiVeFe mat but sometimes, if I feel like it, i'll just use a cardboard box. However! I will make a "pour box" with racks in it so that I don't have to clean up tons of stuff once I'm done with a piece. You're so inspiring too, by the way! Your personality and bubbliness (not sure if that's a word?) just jumps trough the screen and makes me smile. Thanks for making me feel better. Keep up the great content & happy pouring! love, nrrrdgrrrl4life P.S.: feel free to check out my redbubble shop if you're interested. (; (nrrrdgrrrl4life.redbubble.com)

Wow great idea. Now all I need is this box. Thank you sweetie great job

[@kerriefearby9542]

A hint you may find handy. If you get something like a bucket lid near to the size of the lazy Susan base and glue it down with the hollow side up you can put the Susan inside it and it won't slip and slide around from force of push. Love your idea though.

[@BryantinFL]

Hey, what a great idea Kerrie. Thanks.

[@FEARLESSME-JoPaddy-]

Very nice* I made mine similar. And your right... it will last awhile! Mine is around 8 months strong now* was fun to make and fun to use! Thanks for sharing yours.

[@BryantinFL]

FearlessMetv *Art & Design* Thanks

[@michellet2334]

What dimension did u use i want to try upto 12/20 canvas

[@FEARLESSME-JoPaddy-]

@@michellet2334 I've actually can't remember but, after awhile I had A better idea. Go to your local DIY store, like Home Depot or Menards or you can order from Amazon....I bought a plastic shower tub. I love it and works wonders, I can use it for many art projects from spinning paint, pouring paint and even Resin work. Go get one, you will love.

[@doreenmartin4070]

Success indeed. Creativity in many ways. ❤

[@bramstayer]

hey i really appreciate that you kept this up. i was gonna make a box out of all the Amazon cardboard then my daughter comes home with a huge 50" TV and its in a huge box!!! so I'm gonna make one of these. its perfect. thank you so much!!!😊

[@emilystrange2519]

youre so natural you dont care that the painting didnt go as expected yet you kept your head and happy level up i really like that .. good job :) this put a smile on my face today

[@LarkynRose]

KY gives you more than one type of gratification I guess!! 😜🤣 Love this idea!! I’ve been thinking about a cake spinner too!!! Colors are gorgeous

[@BryantinFL]

ABSOLUTELY! :-)

[@FEARLESSME-JoPaddy-]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Your so positive and happy about stuff, I love it.

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

FearlessMetv *Art & Design* This is my first video of hers. I'm LOVING her!! Could watch her all day :-)

[@BryantinFL]

Awww, that is really really sweet -thank you very much I appreciate it.

[@BryantinFL]

FlowZone1 Tiffany Thank you very much I appreciate that I hope you enjoy the other ones.

[@ruthburley7386]

I was just looking for a box like this this morning for a pour I did on an LP. I previously glued two big aluminum roaster pans from the dollar store together to make a big wide one. It held in the paint, but just barely. To get a TV box like you found was very lucky, because I don't think you can buy one like that. I've also picked up some large empty cardboard produce trays from Aldi's, which are just about big enough. Great idea, and lovely painting!

[@BryantinFL]

Ruth Burley thank you for the compliment and good luck finding a TV box ha ha.

[@Bizelism]

You can find those TV moving boxes @ Lowe's or home depot... When instock...

[@ruthburley7386]

thanks!!

[@YookinTryta]

alot of people advertise free cardboard boxes on craigs list... look in your local area under 'for sale' and then subcategory 'free stuff' there is also a 'wanted' subcategory. usually people will give you the box even in the wanted part because they are huge. you can also contact your local appliance or electronics store and usually those tv in the box, come with another box to protect the sale box... lol they maybe can hook u up, also display tv's most of the time have been removed. or cruise ur big box stores at night in the back. those working throwing freight are usually more helpful than having to go in the store and get passed around. just a hint... i was an HR Manager for a major DIY store that's orange for years... don't tell em i told ya. just wait til the store closes and usually there's guys back there on forklifts and what not, restocking. they'll find ya something. take em something like a 12 pack of soda and they will be your best friend. :)

[@hil2k]

This is great! Thank you for showing us exactly what to do (and including the need for double-sided tape!).

[@beverlyharding9813]

That is awesome you are a very smart woman that is so brilliant so very brilliant... it's so funny when you pulled out the KY Jelly because that's the same thing I use I thought I was the only crazy one that used it too funny enjoy your new box

[@lindaashbrook6789]

It doesn't look like your table is level. Beautiful colors.

[@janetmitchell5976]

Well done. I saw one man got his to spin by putting a hole in one side of his box that his vacuum cleaner hose could securely fit in and he put it in the "blow" rather that suck position and it kept up a consistent speed. Perhaps this would be worth a try.

[@BryantinFL]

Janet Mitchell REALLY??? If you find the video will you please share? I definitely Need something to give me some more centrifugal force.

[@candipuffies]

Appreciate the candid share! What an excellent idea! Totally using this ! I like how u can put it away or resize for whatever the use is!

[@barbaragarnes7687]

Thanks for this! Just discovered pour painting and need to create a couple of these boxes for my students!

[@andrewsimpson1892]

Love this....so awesome!

[@arlenelouro3976]

Awesome!!!!

[@2000willey]

Clever idea about putting the board on the back of the canvas. Will keep the back of the canvas clean too especially if you make a handle.

[@BryantinFL]

Betty Wagner thank you

[@ashadedreflection4486]

woah, i like the container you used for black !! you should post the article that your daughter wrote!

[@shellyscorner]

Hi Patricia, I'm just learning about this spin painting technique and am interested in at least playing with it. I would like to make a suggestion to you. Have you thought about getting some sticky Velcro to put on your cake spinner and the back of the hard board you taped to your stretched canvas. I think that would allow them to stick together stronger and there by allow you to spin faster. you can get a package at WalMart for under $5 last I looked it might take several pieces to hold it well enough but it seems to me like it would work.

[@BryantinFL]

Yes Shelly...that is EXACTLY what I did after my disastrous video. Thanks.

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

I was thinking about Velcro too, but what about getting it off canvas when it's done? Wonder if it would come off with ease & not damaging anything? 🤗🤗🤗

[@lesleylang8596]

Your a Genius.. Way to go!!! Great idea!

[@BryantinFL]

Lesley Lang well I Don’t know about genius but thank you so much.

[@loricleary4473]

Great idea!! You are very innovative😊

[@BryantinFL]

Lori Cleary Thank you and thank you

[@annettecarroll842]

🤗Great idea I have a big box not sure if it's deep enough. Thanks for sharing Annette from Ireland 🇨🇮 💐

[@BryantinFL]

Annette Carroll Well it’s worth a shot isn’t it? This is not my first box just the first one I’ve videotaped but you can make a couple before you get it right.

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Now to see it in action! 👍

[@BryantinFL]

Deborah Narendorf video II? 😜

[@studiosandi]

Thank you so much 💖

[@dorothygrierson2740]

So would I ,well done .xxx

[@katmom49]

The box is brilliant! I think your black was a bit too thick for pouring action, though.

[@BryantinFL]

katmom49 A BIT too thick -you’re being kind it was ridiculously too thick ha ha.

[@brendaromero4376]

Thanks for sharing. You’re so clever. I wonder if butcher paper would be easier to use. Also I think your paint may be too thick. Wouldn’t the paint buildup strengthen your box and not keep changing the protection paper. Just my thoughts. I’m going to build me a box Ike this. Again thanks 😊

[@therealbananamuffful]

KY! Awesome! Lol just got to the part where i the canvas slid off your spinner. I'm thinking of using quakehold to secure the canvas when I build my spinner. Might be tricky to keep it 100% level tho. I think I've got to do a box fan spinner to really get it going, but your video is solid. I like your repurposed box. Have you seen Callen Schaub's gigantic spinner? It's an artists dream.

[@nicolestevens261]

Could spin the canvas and pout the paint while its in motion? Vould be really cool.

[@priscillahoyt9773]

Interesting 😊

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

FYI I order a spinner that didn’t stand up so high from Amazon. It works really well.......now I just need a box! 😎

[@BryantinFL]

Deborah Narendorf awesome

[@alexserra9605]

This was an awesome video thank you! you are such a great thinker!!!!!... You mentioned your daughter as Devon cushman.... the famous devon cushman?? Lol sorry I don't know if you have mentioned this in other videos but this is the video I found you today I will watch your others.

[@BryantinFL]

Alex, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yes, my daughter is Devin Bryant Cushman. Is there a famous Devin Cushman, I don't know? I'll put her link here so you can see if this is who you are asking about. facebook.com/devin.bryant1?fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab

[@orenesimmons5514]

I wasn’t too sure about the black background but this turned out lovely.👍

[@BryantinFL]

Orene Simmons I got into the black about six months ago and have seen such a difference in the final product having that black in there, glad you liked it.

[@nyanachase7741]

Just an fyi uhaul sells big moving boxes relatively inexpensively. If you use your boxes stretched out to the widest point paint on the lower panel will probably seep under that top panel and onto your floor. Might do a test run with some water first. It's not inexpensive to get acrylic paint out of carpet. Ask me how I know. Good luck!!

[@BryantinFL]

Nyana Chase Whoa, what a good catch. I didn’t even think about that. I’m gonna have to come up with a plan for fixing that thank you.

[@nyanachase7741]

Patricia Fuller my husband worked with water his entire career. So I listened to 37 years of how water (liquids) always always always goes to the lowest possible point. You'll get this. Love your enthusuasm. ❤

[@b-vvincent3093]

I need to figure out how to get/ make a good spinner...the one I bought does not spin well or fast enough, help

[@levanticat]

Your black paint was too thick and didn't let your colours move. Awesome to find such a huge box to use!

[@BryantinFL]

Glitteratti Bengals I agree

[@linnkezer5940]

I’m interested in reading the article you mentioned about why getting paint all over your hands is toxic. Can you share a link to it?

[@BryantinFL]

Linn Kezer happy to. acrylicpouring.com/safety-tips/

[@YookinTryta]

www.quora.com/Can-you-use-acrylic-paint-on-skin

[@jeffreyschwarz3699]

You need to read the ingredients on the paint. The chemicals in the paint may be toxic to the body if they are artist quality. There should be a warning label on the paint. Wear gloves.

[@resilientoverthinkervm4343]

I’m learning so much from your videos, and I love your idea of containing the spinner in a box! May I ask, how much of the KY do you use? The ratio of paint/floetrol/KY for each color?

[@debbiecosden543]

Did you check if it is level if you pull the inside piece out slightly??

[@BryantinFL]

Debbie Cosden No I didn’t and really I’m not kind of a level girl until it comes to setting it up to dry. I’m all about winging everything. I don’t have a specific recipe for my paint mixtures, I do some things in a tub some things on the desk some things in a box. And if it’s not going the way I wanted I simply tilt it up and move it or stick something underneath it and I don’t worry about that kind of stuff.

[@luxelooksbycathii6242]

I love the spinning technique, so beautiful! I wonder if you could do this with a plastic kiddie pool?

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

Awesome idea!!!!

[@dianerix497]

Do you have a blooper vid? Like the box but need a better spinner I think.

[@derkhedemann5606]

you can also make your spin box from an old sentrifuge and connect the electric to a light dimmer switch so you can tame the speed

[@chrissieburke727]

Where do u live I would love to buy one of those from u I simply don't have the patience to make that

[@valborgengene2301]

Great idea with the box:) but i am pretty shure that your paint is toooo thick:)

[@hamoon08]

I love it, thank you for sharing. Question: what does the KY do to the paint? Maybe I missed that part...

[@michellet2334]

It does the bubbles

[@blissyogawellness]

Where can i buy a spinner from?

[@weedweaver943]

I'm using a kiddie pool for a box.

[@patriciamartin2047]

what a great idea!

[@katmom49]

Could you link to your daughter's article about paint on skin? TIA!

[@BryantinFL]

katmom49 ABSOLUTELY- acrylicpouring.com/safety-tips/

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

I LOVE using what you have & repurposing things!!! Great idea what you put together. What was the purpose of the cup I think I missed something was there something in it to give those colors??? I just subscribed & I think you're AWESOME!!! Hope you'll keep the videos coming!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@michaelrock8488]

can someone tell me how you keep the canvas on the wheel when spinning it..thanks

[@lindafreeman6962]

A piece of double sided tape.

[@bobkeller8383]

my god... enough paint for 10 pours. lol

[@BryantinFL]

I know, and the final piece shows it. WAY TOO MUCH.

[@janadarnold2500]

Why didn’t u use the top u cut off and tape it together? Could have used the cut off top to reinforce the bottom

[@BryantinFL]

jana darnold Because when I open the box to the full extension if I’m doing a really big pour then I can flip one side down on one side and then I can add the cut off part onto the other side and I’ll be able to store it in my garage without worrying about stuff getting on top of it. That was my thinking at least.

[@michellet2334]

What dimension was the box

[@michellet2334]

Ty so much very helpful quick question is resin necessarily for our art work n how si

[@weedweaver943]

How do you keep the canvas on the spinner? Mine wants to fly off.

[@patriciamartin2047]

I would velcro it!

[@FEARLESSME-JoPaddy-]

Not enough speed in the Centrical force.... inertia. And or paint too thick. But I do like it and love love your color choices. So glad you stopped when u did, its beautiful. I was like stop....stop spinning and you did lol. I hate when I over work or over spin a painting, so this one... you stopped just in time!

[@BryantinFL]

FearlessMetv *Art & Design* Oh I so agree that was the biggest problem was no force and way too much paint. But it’ll get better I promise.

[@ashtonpourcio4093]

Well, well, well. Look who's being all creative today-lol. And you use recyclable material!

[@BryantinFL]

ashton pourcio yeah I’m thinking that my next article is going to be all about repurposing stuff.

[@NolaGB]

Volume is very low. All my volume controls are at 100%, but can barely hear you. Other than that, good video!

[@AcrylicPouring]

NG B, Thanks for the feedback! We'll keep this in mind for our next videos.

[@BryantinFL]

I agree, after watching the final edited version, that is just one of the things. I wasn’t happy with even though I had my volume set to 100% it didn’t appear that way.

[@rosamnaranjo1]

The box good idea but the turn table base 👎 it is not going to hold 🙄 it

[@taskmasster]

She took somebody's crib

[@nelsoncunha329]

CANT HEAR A WORD SHE IS SAYING
