** SUPPLIES **
I try my best to be sustainable with all of my supply purchases - this often means being very patient and waiting for a lot of those supplies to appear in charity shops! However, I do buy some things new and when I do I will link to them!
- Old eyeshadow
- PVA glue
- Hair conditioner (optional)
- Pestle and mortar or something for crushing

I make my own with plain chapstick, mixed with eyeshadow. Great for kiddos too as it won't irritate their skin. Thanks for sharing, loved the video❤

The dark one looks lovely! I use dry eyeshadow for rubbing over dark embossed card and fix with hairspray, which gives a subtle effect but I'll try your idea with the glue.

This is very cool and a great way to use up old eye shadow. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing! It is so helpful that you shared as you experimented! I have a question, once you applied it to your butterfly, and it had dried… Does the eyeshadow rub off easily on your hand or other paper when it has set? I would love to know what it’s like once it is dried. 🦋

Thanks for testing these recipes… I think maybe you needed to use just a little less in your glue and conditioner mix.
