Amanda, thank you. the beads and cutting the tube shorter are great tips. maybe now mine will not get clogged
Great tutorial, lovely colours Amanda! Ty so much. xx
WOW fabulous colors 🥰 great demo and tips Amanda, I love the colors and the shimmer ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
How fun! Thanks for the details!
You are welcome thanks for watching x
I LOVE your laugh! Beautiful colors!
Thank you Kelly xx
I make mine almost the same as yours. I use liquid hairspray from the dollar store. And I use loose eyeshadow from the dollar store or mica powder. I also have some powdered cosmetic grade pigment (from when I made handmade soap) that works great for the colorant. I get my bottles from AliExpress and everything else is exactly as you do (snip tube at angle, beads at bottom, ink refills, shake from side to side instead of up/down, etc.). I mix a larger bottle for the white pearl because I use it a lot on colored cardstock to make it pearlescent and use the smaller bottles for the colored sprays. Wow, isopropyl alcohol is expensive in the UK. Maybe you can check your pound store for the alcohol at a lower price? Thanks for another great video!!! Janet 🤗💖👍
Love your ideas, the best I've seen for DIY Shimmer sprays! I wanted to make some but I didn't have any hairspray, so glad I can make some with glue. I have some eyeshadow powders that I purchased from Dollar Tree that I will use. Great idea about trimming the tube and adding glass beads! Thanks for your video!
You are welcome .. I know eyeshadows work well too xx
Just found you and happy I did,you do beautiful work and teach so well. I am sharing you with my channel cause there are many of us that fight with mica powders.❤
Thank you so much and thanks for watching x
Thank you for giving an idea for quantities! TIP: I've used ball bearings in my bottles - I got mine from a "bottle cleaner" product that is simply ball bearings that you pour into a bottle when washing it (on Aliexpress, just search for "bottle cleaning balls"). Also, I've made alcohol inks with markers - I went through all of my dried-up markers a while back, took out their cartriges, and put all colours into separate jars; when I need more ink, I just pour in some rubbing alcohol (for those in the German-speaking area, that would be Brennsprit) and give it a shake. They work great, with vibrant colours!
Great tips thanks x
Thanks my crafty friend. I'm trying to make this happen.Thanks for sharing your great work.
Thanks for watching x
I wouldn't use sharpies for that either. I have used very cheap highliters and cheap rubbing alcohol to make alcohol ink and put it in an old body spray bottle that had a little bit of spray in it and I poured it out and cleaned it. I use loose eyeshadow for the mica powder. I haven't added glue before or beads so definitely going to try that to keep the shimmer on the page.
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed

Hi Amanda I made shimmer sprays many years ago I did use hairspray instead of glue but we can get a nice size for a dollar here they still work great other than the hairspray they're very much like yours the one I used the most is the one I made out of the vintage photo reinker with gold mica you might want to try that as much as you use the distress ink I love your purple color
Thanks for the idea I likely will do that x
Thanks for the information. The beads and cutting the tube to stop clogging. Tfs.😍😊

Glass beads 🤯 🤦🏻♀️ Amanda, you have actually solved my problem! 😍 Thank you! 💕
You are welcome thanks for watching xx
Big help! So many people don’t give amounts, so thanks f or that especially. TFS the inspiration!
You are welcome thanks for watching xx
Brilliant xx forgot to mention glass beads 🙄 x. It’s all trial and error x I didn’t use glue in mine but perfect pearls powder have a binder in them anyway so that’s likely why I haven’t had any issues with them coming off x it’s addictive xx I buy the small pen style sprayers like SU ones as they are cheaper and easier storage and make lots of colours xx happy shimmer colouring ❤️❤️
I struggle with the smaller sprays I can’t seem to use them my hands don’t like em lol xx
@@Scrimpingmommy yeah they aren’t the easiest to spray xx
Nice! 💖😗
Thanks for watching x
The glass beads are a great idea. In stead of tacky glue i use some drops of gum arabic.
Thanks for watching .. I use glue as it’s a common staple folk will have in their craft room xx
@@Scrimpingmommy i understand.
Great video. Can one use alcohol resin ink?
Never used that so no idea how it reacts x
Can you provide the name of the mica powder you use. The link did not work. Also where do you get the beads?. Great video thanks
its just cosmetic grade mica powder I dont know the brand if the link doesnt work that seller must not have any it was just a random one from Amazon x
Hi do you know roughly the size of the glass beads plz?
So long as they fit in the bottle neck and aren’t too small to go up the pipe that is on the nozzle x
My glue was water based and it reacted with the alcohol! Is your glue alcohol based?
No just normal pva ? X
Can you get your products in the camera please?
Watch, you workspace get out of the frame
Yes I did say so myself in the video stopped and adjusted xx
