Let's Get Crafty: Episode #19: DIY Glimmer Mist

[@motvisaoleloi]

I tried and it worked great. Bought the spray bottle from Walmart & I was able to create variety of colors from your idea. Love it! Thanks for the tip!

[@BRITTnCaboodles]

Extremely helpful !!! Thank you for your rendition !!! I need spray bottles biggie-time !!! Can't wait to try this. So excited !!!!

[@aqtnsd]

Ok I found out what Pearl ex is... AND i made it to Micheals this afternoon for my paints and spray bottles and what a great turn out! Goodbye paying ridiculous prices for the name brand! THANKYOU for sharing!

[@RogueStitches]

I'm so glad I found this. No way could I afford to go out and buy all the really nice glimmer mists. I already have an assortment of different metallic folk art paints and mod podge. I'm going to make my own. Thanks so much. :)

[@msnikegirl]

This is awesome...thank you so much for sharing! I LOVE the difference in the way the color looks after spraying without the pearl x.....gives it some texture! Very pretty!

[@Naria4210]

How exciting can't wait to try... Thank you for sharing...

[@babytweetums]

I am so going out tomorrow to buy little bottles to try this. Thanks for sharing! Schell

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

I can't wait to start making these and try them out!! I had been wanting to buy some but now I wont since I can make my own!! Thank you & God bless & Happy Mother's Day :)

[@Jrd451]

thanks for the info, I saw how expensive glimmer mists are and now I know how to make my own, you saved me tons of money. Thanks

[@seasouth2]

Home made is always better. Thankyou for showing us newbies how.

[@dottygin]

wow great work, iv got to try this. thankyou so much for showing us. hugs gina xxxx

[@scrapeahappy]

@PrincessColetti I am so happy to read that you find this useful! You won't be disappointed. I was very hapy with the results! Others have shared that it is working very well for them too!

[@sandybugg59]

Thank You so much so easy and I had turq pearl paint I'm hooked on this

[@giftshoppe2]

I have my own and it is so so so much better. Thanks for sharing! linda in tx

[@scrapeahappy]

@msnikegirl Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I am very happy to read that you have had some great success with this! I know I am really enjoying my home made product too!

[@scrapeahappy]

@vakev8 Thank-you so much for the comments! Yes, I was also suprised at how much reinkers were. I would rather save those for my ink pads. This method worked fantastically! My favourite so far is the pearl coloured one. So pretty on papers!

[@elkeartsandcrafts]

Good tutorial and great results, will give this a try. TFS

[@LeanneBishop]

@scrapeahappy I tried it and LOVE it!!!! I can't stop making them LOL I have so many acrylic paints hahaha...I need more spray bottles now. I wonder if you can use rubbing alcohol instead of water to help it dry faster??? I know some use it with re-inkers and alcohol inks...but what about with acrylic paints hmmmm??? Let me know if you tried it. Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@debbiehayslrtte]

Works great! Thanks so much for sharing. : )

[@PrincessColetti]

I'm defiantly going to give this a try I can not find glimmer mist in my area anywhere and the prices online a bit high. Thanks so much for sharing

[@LeanneBishop]

Great video...I'm going to try making some today!!! TFS ;-)

[@scrapeahappy]

@skiigal1 The Modge Podge is used to allow the pearl ex to bond with the surface.

[@9doves]

Wonderful! Awhile back I tried mixing water and pearl ex in a Tim Holtz mini mister!!! Big mistake! It clogged so badly, I destroyed the spray bottle. :~( Glad to see you are having better luck with paint and a somewhat larger mister.

[@sular99]

awesome! i will be trying this for sure.

[@scrapeahappy]

@corigarcia08 Modge Podge can be used for Decoupage. It works great for sealing an album you might make! But you just have to take your time and have a little at a time so the paper doesn't buckle! you could also use it for any type of paper collage.

[@debbiehayslrtte]

I tried it and it works great!

[@scrapeahappy]

@cardmaker007 I am so happy that it worked for you! I am very happy with the homemade product! I think it works way better the store bought brands. In fact....I am going to give away the story bought one!

[@PeaceNOTwar222]

Cool idea I'm gonna experiment with my supplies..

[@babskara3911]

Hi, wow what a fab video. I did try using metallic shimmer paints with water but it blocked up 5 of my spray bottle nozzles...I tried everything I could,d think of but nothing worked to unblock them so waste of my time and money buying more spray bottles. Think it was the mica in the paints that blocked up my spray bottles...wondered if you have any other ideas of how to spray onto card stock! Thank you. Xx

[@scrapeahappy]

Babs Kara So great that you watched this and got inspired! Funny enough...I haven’t used shimmer sprays in a very long time!! Perhaps it is time to pull them out again!!

[@scrapeahappy]

@cardmaker007 I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed this video! Thank-you for your very lovely comment! I will be posting some Halloween projects very soon! Stay tuned!

[@scrapeahappy]

@Luvleescrappin Thanks so much for watching and commenting! This is a great recipe! I find it works very well for me! Let me know what you think of it once you try it!

[@alteredviews]

Nice work!!! The copper is not "covering" as fully as the others because it is a translucent paint- usually takes several layers in normal paint usage. Still, great effect with it!

[@CorinaKitty21]

Hey this is a great idea but if you look online you can find the Tatterted Angels products for lots cheaper and i like the ranger perfect pearls mist ... food for thought ... thanks for your great idea :)

[@drgondlytx56]

wonder how well that will work on walls. I have just did the archature for my bedroom and bathroom with all new furniture and fixtures. and since the base is oil rubbed bronze, cherry wood, tuscany flavor and was thinking of doing gold and the pearl covering them with plastic wrap till it dried. Think it will work without dripping everywhere?????

[@paigan9]

Hi, I have a question for you. I noticed how pretty the spray with the pearlized acrylic paint came out. The pearlized paints don't come in as many colors as the flat paints do, but there is something called iridescent medium you can buy for not much money (around $2 for a small bottle, I think). What do you think of making the spray with the medium and flat paints?

[@corigarcia08]

what else can you use modge podge for? i have heard of it but don't know what it can be used for. just curious. thanks

[@1tinac]

wonderful...thanks

[@kalinrivera9297]

thank you for tip with mod podge

[@flyoffthewitchesbroomhandl8723]

How do you keep the glue from clogging up the sprayer? Great vid btw thanks :)

[@CallieG333]

you can use mica powder loose eye shadow they are $1- each at any cheapy store & come in lots of different colours.

[@babskara3911]

I tried mica powder it blocked up 5 of my spray nozzles!

[@avallonmist]

I'm just curious, why use the Mod Podge? Does it add body or bulk or...??? I wonder if diluted Elmer's Glue would work just as well? Anyway, thanks for the demo, I have a boat-load of Perfect Pearls just gathering dust because they didn't work worth a hoot for me, so I'm definitely going to try this. B/B )O(

[@PrPrincessScrapper68]

great video! TFS Christine

[@krislair8019]

good information, you don't have any product rubbing off?

[@scrapeahappy]

@cherry2425 Let me know how this works for you! I haven't tried alcohol! But that might be better! Pearl Ex was used for the last one!

[@scrapeahappy]

You won't be disappointed. The glimmer mist is way more sparkly than the name brand product!

[@PrincessColetti]

@scrapeahappy Wow my comment actually worked I've been having such a hard time getting my comments to post on you tube I don't know what is going on. I did give this a try I didn't have all the exact products that you used but I thought I would test it out anyway, It did shimmer for sure, It was little bit too watery but I'm going to try it again. Thanks again :)

[@openarms169]

owesome video do you have a website to get some other ideas ?

[@scrapeahappy]

@scrapeahappy That is an interesting idea! I have never thought of using rubbing alcohol. Let me know if you try it too!

[@triciamcgrath8402]

may I ask what you use this for or on?

[@MsCarolinaDreamz]

I think your tubes, inside, are too long, too. I'm working on my own, but with all my research, they've mostly said to cut the inside tube. Good luck. This video was made many years ago. I'd be interested in an update.

[@Mr0superman]

Can you use white glue for it

[@Setrimacoky]

Thank you!!(:

[@aqtnsd]

Is "Pearl ex" a product or just the type of paint?

[@Somkec]

Please tell me what u using first cuz i don`t know good english and i cant hear what u put in .. please answer me

[@lisa1968]

I keep having issues with my spray bottle clogging. I get maybe 3 lovely spritzes out then it clogs :(

[@katie95612]

With this cant you just spray the mist to coloured paper because with coloured paper you can see it better

[@CraftAmundous]

I don't understand the usage of glue in these DIY sprays. I've never added glue to mine because it's completely unnecessary. They spray and adhere just fine with the binder that is already in the paint. Even with reinkers, I've never used glue.

[@esthermonge1116]

Rexie R S Swtiiqw ieiraeiiiii

[@Samm6977]

Why do you put mod podge in it?

[@lisandraalves5707]

Olá amo seus vídeos tem como traduzir?

[@scrapeahappy]

@shelley20004 I don't see why not!

[@jyvonnep]

first - GREAT VIDEO!!!! EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT!! now for my question :-) - i've been trying to spray those rose petals that you can buy in a pkg of 250 ct. i've tried different consistencies etc and the mist still doesn't stick. :-( yep! i did try adding the mod podge. have you ever used it on these petals? did it work? if yes, what's your secret? sorry, that's 3 questions. please let me know so i can make these flowers already. :-)

[@quinceyface]

What is Pearl lex. You never show it.

[@shelley20004]

could you just use glue

[@LornaLane1]

enjoyed yr video - however, you shd be aware of how often you say "um" and "ah" - very hard to concentrate. Thanks
