I put a marble in my bottles to help it mix better. I’ve had mine for years and they still spray fantastic! My favorite is the baroque pearl, which I use on white paper for snow.
The mention of making your own fragrances made me remember that you can add a bit of fragrance to the shimmer spray for scented paper. Example of uses for shimmery scented paper: Place it in drawers, poke a hole in the paper then hang it in the closet using a matching ribbon, make scented personal stationary, etc.
I use alot of alchol I put it in a bottle add water and use it to clean all my glass furniture windows mirrors. I use it neet to clean computer keyboard or my ps4 controller bcz it cleans sticky marks but evaporates so there's no water damage I've pulled mobile phones apart controllers that ppl think or broke used alchol to clean and they work. I also do my own spritz like you for my crafts
Looooved the Idea of using alcohol in the mix,...but, will that help the glitter glue to the fabric or surface????....🤔I can't wait to try it. Thank you soo much....👍😍🤩💝🤗🙏🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
hi I was wondering if I can use any acrylic paint to make the Mist spray this is very cool. I like the idea that I can make my own spray paint with the alcohol thank you so much.
They do sell the little spray bottles in the Travel section of both Target and Walmart. Sometimes they have them at the dollar store, too. Do you do anything special to keep it from clogging?
Hey this is random but I started a business without a lot of $$ on hand so I'm really doing a lot of improvising and finding cheap solutions for making my products look professional. I have finally created labels for the product, and they are kind of glossy when I print them on laserjet. I recently bought a new inkjet to print my own labels and flyers as well, but it doesn't print them glossy. The glossy label paper is crazy expensive, and I was wondering if any of this stuff, or anything else that you know of can be applied to matte labels to make them glossy without coming off or looking smudgy or anything? It would be very helpful if you know of anything!
I think that Amethyst was the one they where out of from Hofcraft, I ordered all the Folk art Metallics, the Decoart Metallics and then the entire delta range, and a conversion book. I can of course buy it in town but I definitely need that one, already know what I am going to use it for
@@thefuzzypenguin778 Hmmm, many years ago - but do not shake the bottle - it creates air bubbles that come out as blobs... if you gently swirl it should be okay.....
First thank you for responding. What I have just tried was I added together a fine glitter, water and mod podge glue. However, it would not spray out. I tried this in two bottles. What I see you using here is the small sprayer so why this would not come out I don't no because is was not thick.
The glitter in the paint is ultra fine and that might play a part. I never tried it with mod podge and glitter so I'm not too sure. Mod Podge won't adhere to fabric either. When you wash it will come off. Hope that helps...Have a great day!
I am wondering can this be done with fabric paint? I want glitter fabric paint but I don't want it to be as harsh as the tulip brand one... I just want to be able to and some shimmer to a tulle skirt of my daughters. I don't want it to wash off right away though either.
Thank you for the comment Sunnie Bell. I don't paint on fabric much but do know you have to add textile medium to your acrylic paint to get it to adhere to fabric. You could even play with a small amount of your fabric paint and see what you come up with. Hope that helps and I hope some else might comment on that about fabric paint. Love glimmer!!!
Thank you I was watching another video and that is what they did but they added textile, acrylic, and water. The alcohol probably does something to the textile is what I figured.

Sounds like an easy way to make glimmer. I like the idea of adding a marble to the container - I have a lot of little smalll stones.

You can also add a bit of pearl ex or perfect pearls to any paint color for a metallic. Glitter will clog the spray nozzle.
Wow nice, I have used glitter spray paint on hair bows I made to make them sparkle, this technique pretty neat.

They do sell them at Walmart with the travel size products. Do you ever use mica?
Where I live there is not a shop a can buy stuff from so it is really nice for me to see substitutes. Will plain acrylic paint work?
Add bbs like bb gun bbs to keep paint stirred up.
If I don't have paint and just loose glitter, do I just mix the loose glitter with the alcohol?
How did that turn out?
Can i do this with water and spray it on clothes? And will it stay on? If not how can i glitter my clothes with clear glitter just to make em glittery
Thank you! I have to try this! Is it better to use the alcohol rather than water?
that's what I was wondering..
The alcohol dries faster and does not soak into the paper like water.
awesome !
One question: How do you keep the pump spray from clogging or is the paint so diluted it won't clog it? Thanks for sharing! :)
+Marlene Ansley trimming the straw inside the bottle up higher. and always shake well first before using.

works beautiful
Can you use these on fabric. If so I would not what to change the color of the fabric but just give is a bling with the glitter.
Clarice Muller You would have to add a fabric medium to make it adhere to the fabric and test first. Hope that helps....xoxo

Okay great!!!!! So much information out there!!
Thanks for sharing! xoxo Jen
Thank you Margaret!
I made some like this too but it is all goopy now! I don't know if I used too much paint or what! I may have to dump it all out!
Southern Angels Btq. Maybe your paint was old? Used too much paint vs alcohol?
Not sure what happened but I made it another way and it came out much better :)
does the paper stiffen as it dries?
I need to make my paper shimmer because im making wedding invite pockets and i just wanted to know about how it dries
Hi would this be ok on wool? I'm crochet snowflakes for Xmas I use sparkle wool but want to add more glitter lol
Tinkertinkbell Test a strand of wool before doing a finished piece and see if you like the result. Hope it works!
Is there a certain percentage of alcohol you should use? I have 50% isopropyl at hand currently
Did you use alcohol and paint or alcohol with some other color
One question why alcohol can't you use water and I guess what does the alcohol do for it
The alcohol makes the product spray dry faster when it is on the paper.
She said at the beginning that you could use water.
How do you keep the sprayer from clogging up?
I would like to know that, too.
Can you use this on glass and will it stay on
+arielbaby9832 no.
What kind of Alcohol did u use
Thumbs up!
Do u use perfumers alcohol?
I just used regular alcohol. You can use water if you want too. : )
Can you use this inside !
yes
Will it stay on on fabric?
