- Learn how to make your own spray inks and shimmer mists for a fraction of what they charge in the store! Also, I'll show you how to make great ink sponges for pennies! You can purchase most of the supplies I used in the video at: www.papermart.com/?origin=thef...

I just straight up dump cheap watercolor tubes into those bottles then put alcohol or water in and shake the heck out of it and just make sure I shake it before I spray each time. They've worked wonderfully. Don't have to buy a whole set of expensive designer sprays too.
Wow, what a great idea. I am going to try this too, thanks so much. Be Blessed.
I get the feeling that playing in your studio space would be so much fun! I can just imagine it- talking and goofing off while we create colorful chaos on whatever medium we chose to work on! You also make me feel less weird, because I'm interested in so many things and want to learn to do all of them! Sewing, painting, jewelry making, sculpting, photography... my list of hobbies just goes on and on!
Makers gonna make!!

I am in the middle of making a ton of amazing shimmer & watercolour sprays at the moment & it’s so much fun 🤩! The liquid watercolours can be found for a decent price just keep looking online, I paid £35 in the uk for 6 colours, in the big bottles (that price includes postage) & they are going to last & be a lot of fun! It works out so much cheaper it’s unbelievable! Thanks for another great video 👍🏼🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"nothing worse than a hoity toity crafter!" hilarious.

THIS IS THE MOMENTI WAS SOLD LOLOL
I Love you! I found you while I was stumbling around the internet last week. I was SURE there must be a brilliant Crafter out there who knew how to make Glimmer Spray and other arty stuff. Brilliant! That would be you! I would love to have the whole Ranger ink line but I have bills to pay so I am art on a shoestring. Thank you so much for sharing and being there for the rest of us. Big hugs!!!
iambeithe the best thing is that it is FUN to learn to make your own and I hate to shop so if I can save myself a trip and make it myself I am happy:)
Awesome video, Lindsey! I love your enthusiasm for whatever you are doing. I was so excited to see a video posted. Thank you for the great idea. Take care. :)
Just had an idea for re-mixing the glimmer sprays (keeping the mica in suspension), add a glass or stone bead to the bottom of the sprayer bottle when you add the water. Make sure the bead is larger than the sprayer tube diameter. As you "TWIRL" to mix (re-mix) the watercolor and glimmer the bead should run around the bottom of the plastic bottle, putting the mica in suspension and should prevent the clogging of the pick up tube. I see you cut the spray tube at a 45 degree angle and about a 1/4 inch above the bottom of the plastic bottle. Thank you Lindsay, you are my favorite part of the day.
nice idea!
Great video as usual, Lindsay! I have made these sprays using water, distress ink re-inkers and Perfect Pearls - these have a binding agent in them so they don't rub off the paper once dry. Love how you can customise the colours. I bought my spray bottles really cheap in Superdrug.

you were actually a lot of fun to watch! i do acrylic painting and recently figured out that using these spray bottles is awesome for applying stencil designs without using the acrylic paint straight from the bottle.. ive been using the black permanent spray and have noticed a lot of cool effects ive been able to do. now i need to mix my own colors and add some variety! thanks for showing us!
***** thanks!
OMG....2013 and you look like a baby......and the red hair!!!! Loved you then, love you now. (2018). What a fun video to re-visit, or see for the first time. Your enthusiasm knows no bounds! Love your "do it yourself" recipes and tips. That will never change.
aww, thanks!
Lindsey Weirich, Hi there! I am one of you newbies and you just amaze me. I am a self taught artist, I have only had one college Art Class, and my teacher was excellent. I do not know if she knew as much as you, however she was nowhere near your sweet, bubbly personality. I knew you were an educator, you are so sharing and giving, just so very happy to share your many talents with us. I am in my late sixties and now have time for myself, to paint and my new passion, jewelry making. Kiddo, I am taking notes, watching your videos for the second time. Just had to let you know, just how much I appreciate and respect you, Lindsey, Blessings and Hugs, Val.
+Valarie Housley aww, thank you:)
I just have to say, you seem like such a positive person. Your kids are lucky to have such a talented and upbeat mom.
I am a very new subscriber (as of 2 minute ago) and you wanna know what made me click that button?.....the ENERGY and passion you pour into these videos!😘yay!
Katelyn Killman Thanks so much and welcome!
You have great energy and many good ideas. Tfs
Brilliant!! Love the dauber tip! Thank you
I do make my own thanks to you and all the other crafters that have shared this idea.
I have bought my bottles from the "A" mega online store because PM does not have small enough quantities to choose from. I do love PM for glassine bags and flowers though.... and I am lucky cause PM is only about 12 miles from my home.
thx for sharing!
You are so full of energy !!! Thank you for sharing your great ideas ! Wishing you the best !
I love this. I've been watching art journal pages on here lately and wondered where I could get spray inks so this is perfect timing. And I LOVE the cap idea as well, so brilliant.
Thanks for the pointer to Paper Mart! I just checked them out - amazing stuff at amazing prices. Great video...never thought of using liquid water colors.
You are wonderful. I love your spirit, as well as your tips and tricks. Thank you for the great videos.
Wow I wanna be Lindsay when I grow up lol......Truly love your channel (one of the best on Ytube) ...God bless!!
Shaemarie Daniels awww:) thank you:D
Ok miss hoity toity, with all your colors and your hoity toity daubbers Lol. I love your video's. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tutorials, and also your time with us. Oh, and you always make me laugh and for that I give you a ((hug)).
Loved the dauber idea!
Lindsay, it is always so much fun watching you on video! Funny and informative too :D THANKS for this tips!
Love this idea...making you own color wash...and the cap tip is awesome...thank you so much for sharing...
Awesome tips and tricks! You are such a fun person!
love your idea re the caps btw and even more? love your enthusiasm and great tips!
Awesome.. joy to watch 💜
Loving the positive energy and these hacks are great too tfs
This is my favorite video of yours yet!! ❤️you're the best teacher!!
I a definitely going to try that... Thank you, for getting back to me so quickly..
Amazing idea, thanks Lindsay!
wow, the ideas presented were so cool. Loved the idea of saving my hands with the daubers- and so simple too.
Your version of the do it yourself shimmer color mist is the best and that's what I wound up using after a few trials and errors (liquid water color and food color--the Easter neon are a fun way to get some new colors for really cheap entry start). I also loved your additional tip on one of the Ask a Crafter sessions where you talked about using the ink from printer refill ink kits which is what I wound up for my black. As for white, I had to use acrylic and I put it in a sprayer I didn't care about too much if it clogged and I use that over bluish / teal color sprays to look like ocean wave frost. Thank you for all that you do and teach us beginners :) I appreciate it.
Just to follow up, Dick Blick does have black and the shimmery clear which is mostly white but I couldn't find them in my local DB store so I bought the few colors that my local teacher supply store had and they just had blue, red, yellow, orange, magenta, green...One day I will order online some more colors but for now, I have what I need :)
Ringin' a bell in church folks. You crack me up! Thank you for this awesome video :)
thanks for the great ideas. loving your channel
Wow, no way?!! That make-your-own dauber idea is awesome! Never thought of that.
Great vid overall... looking forward to trying this.
Every time I revisit this video I wish could give it additional thumbs up! your the best...thank you!
By the way, I watch with pleasure your tutorials, you are very bubbly, and I love that!
Excellant video! :-) Great frugal ideas!
I really love the cap idea you have. I will starting saving all my caps now. TFS. Much LoVe Hildi
Wow you are awesome. You make me want to go out and buy the products now, but it's two in the morning.
you dont know how much i like this video *.*
Thanks for all the great ideas and crafting tips. I absolutely love your channel
thanks Pat!
whhooo hoooo going to make the daubers! thank you Lindsay
Wow thank you for this video!!!! I'll be trying this out!
Great idea and love your enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing :)
Again, another good video, with several good ideas,. Thanks.
Love all your videos! I really need to buy some liquid watercolors, been thinking about it for some time now, now I really have a good reason to! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!
thanks for the tip at the end,now I have a use for my caps! besides I needed daubers.
You're the best!!! Awesome!
Thank you so much for this video! I had tried to make these sprays with other recipes that included glue and paint and they clogged my sprayers within minutes! While I didn't have liquid watercolor paints, I was able to dissolve some kids' watercolor paint chips in water and once I added the Pearl Ex they were perfect!
I have recently stumbled upon your channel and I subscribed right away, I love all the great ideas, I'm an artist too and you have some awesome tips...especially love your business videos, marketing is my weak point. keep doing what your doing I love your excitement and passion!!
Still a classic!!! I need to make some sprays.
You are Awesome. Love your personality. keep up the goooooood work.
I bought gold and pearl liquid watercolor from Blick Art Materials (online $3.50 an 8oz bottle) and just put a squirt in a spry bottle with water. It works great and does not clog. The eyeshadow is really fine too, I's say try 1/8teaspoon per 3 oz of water and "ring the bell" and if it looks like liqud gold that is perfect, if not try another 1/8tsp. I too have clogged many bottles overdoing it with the mica powder:)
yay!!!! Thank you for this video!!! You are so fun and resourceful!
Janice
I have tried this with 3 colors so far and it is fantastic, thank you for sharing this information, I never even knew liquid watercolors existed!
I love that I just had to buy 5 bottles of paint and I can make an infinite variety of colors of ink sprays and glimmer mists! I think I spent about $15 and each bottle of watercolor really does go a long long way so I enjoy using them instead of feeling like I should save them for something special.
Great idea for the lids
Holy cow! Didn't know they made liquid watercolor in gold and pearl! Thanks for the fantastic idea!!
Love the cap idea, thank you very much!!! You're so much fun :) TFS Hugs, Christine
Thk u for such wonderful simple ideas!
Love this! Thanks for the super tips!!!
Gonna make me some sponge daubers! whoo hoooo! Just bought a pack of those makeup sponges, and I have some caps I can use....and I even have a case to store them in! Thanks, Lynsey!
LOVE, LOVE the ink dabbers! I also have a problem finding a fine mist spray here in the UAE. But love all your video's! You are awesome!!
OOO - your hair looks great!
thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you acrylic paint sprays still work, I think if they sat unused too long they would clog but I'm glad yours did not:)
Thanks for doing this video. Loved all the tips. TFS
I'm so glad I found this tutorial among your many! I was wondering what is the ratio of water to watercolor paints for these sprays & got my answer. Thanks again so much for sharing your knowledge. You're amazing!
Love you, love your energy and I sure love all your ideas, always look forward to what you r going to show next. Great videos. Thanks so much. Marina :))
Wow what a fun trip back in time. I can remember watching this video years ago. Now after watching your wreath video I watched it again cause it popped up on the screen. I thought the video was brilliant years ago and made both the sprays and the foam cap daubers.
Cool!
Awesome video. Agreed - Dick Blick and Papermart rock. Totally worth getting paper supplies there. For the tissue paper alone - an order lasted me over 8 years. Maybe more.
add a bit of the opposite color so if you have really bright neon red you want to add a bit of green (yellow+blue) etc. Just look across the color wheel to find an opposite or complimentary color;) Glad the colors worked for you!
you are awesome!!!!!! I LOVE your enthusiasm it's so fun you make me laugh!! TFS!
Thank you so much. Off to Papermart and Blicks I go!!! You videos really rock.
Great ink spray tips☺
This was so fun! Thank you for the ideas. :)
Awesome, just what I needed.
Thank you. You made it simple for two in one DIY project. Now I will be trying this out. Thanks for I sharing. :) :) :)
Thank you great idea about the fabric dye!!!!
Super ideas! Thanks.....love it, "the hoity toity crafter"....ha ha
Thanks for sharing! Your videos make me smile :D
luv ur tutorial great ideas thanks.
love all your tips! what i hav been using is just some water and regular food color in a small fingertip sprayer, it works great, and also while cleaning up after a project one day i discovered if you use a little watered down bleach spray you can do a great galaxy effect or use larger drops of the bleachwater for great clouds!
misslibra187 great tip, thanks!
EXCELLENT VIDEO very enjoyable
I used Blick Liquid watercolors in pearl. You get an 8oz bottle for $3.50, it works great and does not clog when used as I described. Also the mica loose eyeshadow (LA Colors) for $1 at the Dollar Tree or Family Dollar works well too!
Thanks for the great idea!!
We have a 24hour craft channel over here called create and craft you would make the best presenter. You are so full of crafty liveliness and amazing ideas. Thank you for making my crafting more value for money. We dont get the coupons like you do our craft supplies can be double what you pay. Just the glycerine alone has saved me a fortune and the home made sprays. Love love love it xxxxxx a very happy uk crafter
thanks! I sometime watch C&C on my computer, I love the demos:) I agree, you guys have to pay top dollar, I saw some foam brushed on that channel that were 9 pounds for 8 plus 3 pounds P&P and we get 20 for a dollar on sale for the exact same thing! What kills me is some of my favorite supplies are make in the UK and I can still buy them cheaper here, crazy! Thanks for watching and I think being a C&C presenter would be so much fun:)
thefrugalcrafter .
I totally agree with heidi, you would be great on C&C, a lot better than some they have on there. I've been checking out the liquid watercolour on ebay and found some for 2.99 (pounds) for 35ml so thought I'd get just the three colours, then I found another listing for 10 little bottles of various colours, 59ml each, for just 7.99. Even I can do the maths to work out that the 20 pack is much better value lol. They're going on my watch list. It's a shame we can't get stuff from Papermart as the spray bottles are quitr pricey this side of the pond.
thanx now i know where i was going wrong. i made my own glimmer mist and got a clogged up nozzle. i need 2 chop abit of the tube off yay u answered my question before i asked lol. tfs xxx hugs xxx sharon xxx
Brilliant!
Ok....thank you much! Blessings!
You r so fun and cool!
Best art/craft video ever. Funny, informative, money-saving. Thank you!
thanks!
you are not only cool, but funny too :) hello from Slovakia love your old Videos
Another great video!! TFS
New sub here. This was a very informative video and fun to watch. Those daubers tho. Wow!
Hi Lindsay Oh my goodness I'm having packrat/hoarders remorse, why did I throw away bottle tops!!!!!!!!I've never thought of using them that way. That ranks right up there with some of the best tips I've ever heard!! I've made some glimmer mist with distress stain and perfect pearls. I will surely check out the Dollar World eye shadows & I have some Winsor&Newton tube watercolors.Clever and energizing! Iris,SavedbyGrace
Hi Lindsay, I love your videos, and I think this is amazing I made my own sprays. I used rubbing alcohol and food colouring, I didn't stop there lol I also made some water colour ones , which when dry are really cool :)
"nothin worse than a hoyty-toyte crafter!" love it!
You are awesome lady!!:)
