I make DIY ones like the Dylusions and Lindys sprays. I just use water, shimmer powder pigment, and either water-based ink or acrylic watered down and some flow medium and pop a ballbearing of clean pebble in! You can use the same colour eg. Pink shimmer + pink paint, or contrast eg blue shimmer + green paint for some really cool effects!
Hi, just an FYI from my soap making days - you can buy mica from soap and cosmetic supply companies like TKB trading, Aussie Soap Supplies, etc they sell to individuals as well as companies and have every colour of the rainbow including duo-chromes.
Thank you for sharing, Pam! I so enjoy your videos. I have had excellent results for my shimmer spray by using a tablespoon of metallic or pearlescent acrylic paint to 2 oz of water. It dries beautifully, does not rub off on your hands, and writing on it is a joy. I also noticed that the cheaper the metallic paint I use, the better the results when sprayed. 😅
Great video. I will give this a try. I can go through a 2oz bottle of glimmer spray on one project so learning a more economical way to make it will be very gratifying. TFS 😁
Hi Mindy, I was thinking of doing the distressed inks . What shimmer spray would you recommend? I was thinking of making it look shiny. , or do you think I need it with the gold overlay die. That’s so much ❤
I would recommend using a more neutral color, (like the pearlescent) that way you can play around and get the color you are going for... I think it would still end up shiny - I have not tried that, let me know how it goes!
Any thoughts on why the glue and alcohol separate, and the glue almost formed a ball? I followed your directions exactly, and even used the same items.
I don't know why that happened.... I have to tell you I created some more and my glue balled up too! Maybe my glue was too thick and getting a bit old. I am going to try again and will update you with my results!
@@GlamJunkJournals Thank you! :) I swapped out the glue for modpodge, it made it more pearlescent than just shimmer but worked in a pinch. I also subbed liquid spray adhesive, from the dollar tree, and that worked out nicely too, but the clear glue just globs, even with a new bottle. maybe they changed the recipe :/
@@Tarni64 Oh wow! Thanks for the update, I appreciate it... I have also seen liquid hairspray used. I agree, I think the recipe has changed!! Thank you again!
Rosewater + bioglitter shimmer in a little spray bottle and a marble/clean pebble/ball-bearing! You can also mix it in with some cheap moisturiser or Vaseline. It's also great as cheap glitter eyeshadow or safe kids makeup

Oops that was supposed to be a reply to someone who asked about the mica sprays!

That is an awesome tip! Thank you so much!

I know what you mean!
Oou, I'm loving this!!! I need to start experimenting again with making these! I've made the alcohol mists but gosh the shimmer is everything!!
I agree, it just adds so much to your pages, thank you Lidia!
@GlamJunkJournals you're welcome!
This is the perfect recipe! I just made a pink shimmer and a gold shimmer! So exciting! Thank you for the video!
Awesome, glad to hear it my friend!! xx Pam
Thanks a lot for sharing .
You are so welcome!
Pam, just love this idea. I'm definitely going to try this.
Yay! Have a great day Irene!
Great idea Pam! Beautiful!
Thanks Hazel!
This is a great tool and almost a must for future jj projects...will be making some soon! Thanks for the DIY!! ❤😊
YAY!
I make mine with metallic acrylic paint and rubbing alcohol. The paint has a binder, so it doesn’t rub off.
Thanks for the tip - I will be trying that for sure!
Pam this is soooo cool and easy to make, I love it! Thank you for sharing this. 🥰💕
You are welcome!
Tyvm for the tip Pam, i want to try it 🤗
Oh wow, such a great idea! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
If you carefully use a can opener on the bottom of the mica powder you can get way more out!
That's a great idea, thank you for sharing!

Scrapdaworld said to puch a hole in bottom of mica eyeshadow to help the airflow so the powder will come out.
That's a great tip - thank you for sharing!

Do you make a shimmer spray that you can put on skin ?
I have not tried that, although it sounds like a really cool idea!

Is this permanent on fabrics/clothes?
I have not tried this on fabric - I have only used it for paper. I don't think it would be permanent on clothing.
