Tutorial - Make your own Mist Sprays

Hello beautiful ladies! I have a really easy tutorial for you today. It all started about a month ago when I reached for my Glimmer Mist and realized I was almost out...Oh NO!! I went to my local SB store and they were sold out as well, and I had no patience to wait for some to be mailed to me. I had remembered hearing somewhere that you could create your own, this got me thinking...HOW?! So I researched it a bit and found so many different ways to do it. The problem was that I didn't have the inks they say to use, so I just did it my own way figuring it out as I went along. I would like to share with you a few tricks I have figured out.

The things you may need:

*Clean empty spray bottles

*paints/powders (I used some PearlX that I have had forever)/food coloring

*water

Start off by getting your desired amount of powder into your bottle. I was using the end of a crab pick that I had bent to work for what I needed. Hey - I was using what I had around! lol I used two 'spoon' fulls of gold.

Then I added water. I was using a medicine dropper, this made things so much easier - for me!

This is what it looks like after I shook it up.

And this is what it looked like after sprayed onto white cardstock. Notice the pretty shimmer!! Now on these examples I sprayed the mist really heavy to show the colors.


Another thing I played around with was making paint sprays. Just add water to your bottle and I added 4-5 dropplets..ok more like paint gobbs straight from the bottle. On some of my mists I have used just paint and it looks pretty, but if you want it to shimmer then add your powder in a like color.


This is what the brown paint looks like. I didn't add the PearlX powder to this one just to show you how a paint spray looks.


Try adding food coloring to your mister! It looks awesome! The color of your mist will depend on how much food coloring you add to your water. I typically add about 6 drops. I like my colors to be bright! Again you can add the powders to this, but it looks great as is.

Here is that the blue food coloring spray looks like. I also didn't add any PearlX powder to this...all Food Coloring!

Here is a little sample of the colors I made today using these techniques. So fun and versatile and I can make ANY color I need to go with my LO's!! Now that's exciting!!

Here are a few recent LO's that I have created using my homemade mist sprays!

Just look at what these babies can do :)

I hope you will give them a try and show off your work using your very own Homemade Mists!! We can't wait to see them!

This is our busy season right now and it is taking us a bit longer than expected to get orders out as we have had nearly 3000 since the week of Thanksgiving and more coming in each day, and there is only 2 of us answering emails and packaging up. Some of the manufacturers that we deal with have also had delays and items on backorder. We are expected to be all caught up by weeks end though. We sincerely apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at customerservice@jujubeesscrapbookcorner.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Holiday Season!
