How to make your own spray mists from acrylic paint....

Over the past number of months I've tried to make my own color and glimmer mists using acrylic paint or hobby paint.

To my disappointment I've had to throw out quite a few mist bottles because the nosell clogged up.

I've been using alcohol to dilute as well as water. I know a lot of people swear by using alcohol, but to my humble experience having used both alcohol based mists and water miste on projects at the same time the results haven't been as good as if I only used alcohol or water solely.

Wanting to experiment on how to avoid clogging up the nosell I've found a solution that works great... by accident I filled my mist bottle with hot water, then added the paint, a glass bead went in there too closed it and gave it a good shake. The hot water dilutes the paint so much easier than when using cold and the bead is just an extra help. 

After the good shake I added Perfect Pearl and shaked it once more..... 😃

I now have the most amazing color- and glimmer mists at the fraction of the price of the original ones.

I have been using 2 oz bottles. 

For my Danish readers of my blog I buy my bottles: i Tiger hvor de sælger pakker med 3 stk.  for 10kr. De er absolut fortrindelige.

Enjoy....

Envelope for a card, gift certificate or a sweet note - tutorial

 If you want your gift or card to be noticed at the gift table - then this super easy tutorial is your answer:-)

Grab an envelope - any size but suitable for your purpose and of course able to fit the Corrugater... Glue the flap.

Cut a piece of the side - my envelope is 21 cm by 15 cm / 7,5 inch by 5,5 inch. The part I cut off was 6 cm or 2 inch. If you choose a different size reduce or increase accordingly.

 Choose two or three stamps you want to decorate the large part of the envelope. The below is how I made it, be creative and play with it...

After stamping give the envelope a corrugated look by running the two part in various directions through this device.

Decorate the top with an embellishment of your choice..

Have fun and Happy Stamping :-)
