Lindsey, I couldn't afford the brand name embossing pastes you see online so I got wall spackling from the Dollar Tree (our favorite store, lol) It gives a little more dimension than the joint compound you are using here. If I am doing this technique I want it to be very obvious that it's raised up. You can put a little paste on your craft sheet and blend in any coloring like a smear of distress ink or marker or whatever and you just use your pallet knife to blend it in. It dries great, doesn't crack at all, even when you twist the paper. It heat embosses wonderful also. If you do it wet it does get a little bit of a bubbly texture to it so if you don't want that texture then just wait till it dries.
I love how you show us other ways to do things! This video is at least 4 years old and I still learned something... thanks!
Do you know what a sensation you caused with this video? Your idea for this is all over youtube now. People are using cake decorating molds to make embellishments. I've said it a few times before but I'll say it again. You are a phenom! :)
Thanks much for yet another idea!! For those who want to try yet another homemade stencil paste...I often use the lightweight spackle as well. It comes in a tub, lasts forever, and the nice thing is, the smooth lightweight stuff dries SUPER FAST!!! Gotta LOVE being frugal. Thanks again for the help!!!
great idea!
Lindsay I just want to say I know this video is an oldie but I am a newbie at crafting so I love love love watching your videos because of so many reasons. First of all you are helping out people that don't have much $$ to spend but still want the same quality of craft. You help me learn how to do it "on a dime" lol. But most of all your way of teaching is awesome. You are so down to earth and you just know how to connect. thank you for that! I learn so much from you.
*This is totally Awesome... I'm forever trying to Repurpose things & share what I've learned to help others save money on my videos as well. Great share Thank you. 😁😁😁* Sharon in SC
Thank you for sharing! There's so many mislabeled videos, leading people to believe they're going to learn how to make this paste but it turns out they're just trying to sell you a certain product. 💜
This is a great idea as I tend use of calking and joint compound just never thought of using this on stencils...Thanks
Thanks for the tip, my paste always dries out on me, too. This will be so much less expensive. Also, for a fun effect, I have painted over the stenciled relief after it dries with gloss or matt medium, then painted over the relief with another color, let it dry, then wiped it off in areas to create a vintage look. The trick is using the medium. Great as always, Lindsay! Haha, I watched it again and almost commented 2X!
Great idea, am definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! I am definitely going to try this! Thank you for sharing!
Wow!!! I had no idea!!! What a fantastic idea!!!! How cool!! Thank you for the video!!
You are so brilliant! You are so honest and down to earth. Just what crafters of all abilities need. I a material has the word craft or art in its name then the prices rocket lol. Thank you for sharing this to a very new crafter who has already spent a fortune on materials! A ThriftyScot
I have a few of those old brass stencils too. I shall now get them out and give them a new life. Thanks for the reminder.
your using the old stenci; reminded me that I have old cookie press discs, They work great to!
Still an excellent DIY video for those who like to make their own supplies! Thanks!
I have the modeling paste and gave a pretty penny for it, even with a coupon. I have got to try this.lol You have the best information. That's why we like to pick your brain.lol
Mic
That is great once again. Thanks - will try this when my. doweling paste runs out.
Never would have thought that latex caulking would replace the modeling paste !! huh... I'm going to try it !! thank you once again :)
Thank you for sharing this. I have some of the Dream Weavers paste but have not ever used it. You are soo right, the past is a bit pricey. I hope mine has not dried out. It is amazing what all can be done with this calking when it comes to crafts.
well, think of it this way, you can compare it to the real deal:)
Love this idea i can't wait to try it we have all the stuff!! Yay!! Thanks so much!
Love the recipe! I'm going out to the garage to see if we have latex caulk pining away. Those brass stencils can also be run through your big shot with a rubber embossing pad to dry emboss paper. I have a Cuttlebug and have been successful.Just be careful about the design you use because it will also emboss the edges of the stencils.
Hi Annan,
if you cover the stencil with a piece of cardboard slightly smaller than the stencil then the edges won't get embossed.
Tina Krueger
Thank you, I will give that a try.
Tina Krueger I have used the stencils in my big shot and it embossed the edges, this is a great tip, thanks Tina!
That's a good tip! One problem I found with putting a brass stencil through my bigshot is it made the stencil curl or bow up somewhat. Maybe because it was a narrow border style stencil. That did make me hesitant to do it with my other brass stencils.
WOW! That was great you have amazing idea's thank you for sharing Lindsay! Hugs Liz x
Thank you. I will be using your info here to work with stencils excitedly for the first time! best of all saving money!
Hi Lindsey - thanks for linking me to your embossing paste tut. I have a couple of milk crates full of bags of craft sand in LOTS of different colors. I'm not into sand art (at the moment) but I'm going to experiment with adding some sand to homemade embossing/texture paste to see how that texture will look. I also grabbed a bag of nice rubber stamps and brass stencils which included a cool dragon stencil, the other day at my local savers store.
scraps and things good idea!
Wow what a great tip never thought of using latex caulking for stencil paste and I have so many stencil I have this really pretty dragon one from dreamweaves will have to use this tip on will have to try then out. Way to go another fabulous video thank you again Mary Katherine from Canada
Lindsay, I don't know if you will see this but for some projects the glue, talc and acrylic paint mix works better. But just for card stencils it works great.
I have a few of those old-fashioned brass stencils, may try spackle or caulk as stencil paste in the future. :)
This is wonderful-can't wait to try. Thanks for the video!
Angua von Überwald the plastic ones are fine:)
I love the beautiful brass stencils :)
Can you use it with any stencil, or do they have to be metal. Great vid, love how you help us keep the costs down.
Hi Lindsey! I was wondering if you used embossing powders on top of the caulking or just plain old glitters and if the caulking you use has ammoniac in it. I know it's no time for Ask a crafter but I figured I'd try anyway.
Thanks for all the cool videos
I'm very happy I came across you. I've been wondering about this.
Can someone tell me what 'spackle' is, please?
I think I have a couple of those metal stencils somewhere. Like this.
What a great idea to use latex chalking!
Great information for us who shouldn't spend as much as we do. I will definitely be buying some caulking this weekend! xo Deb
Love THIS idea!
Fabulous idea tfs :)
Its called texture paste. U can asl make it with baking soda & white paint
Lindsay, is there a way to be able to use the brass stencils with the big shot to emboss them? I hate to think that I have to labor with a stylus on each one. I have essential tremor and carpel tunnel in both wrists, so it can be very painful to have to do these by hand. Thanks for all the great ideas here. I have so many of these stencils that it's nice to know I can use them for something. Thanks
Deirdre Powers yup, here: th-cam.com/video/Um1EQ0zO2nU/w-d-xo.html
Such a better idea than using talcum powder which can pose a health risk....awesome idea!☺
Dónde se compran esos atención metálicos? Me encantan
How cool is this!!! I've been looking at how I could make my own after watching a demo of stencilling paste and nearly collapsing with shock at how much a little jar of it is. I found another method of making it which involves baby talc, white acrylic paint and pva glue, but this one is so much easier. I'm guessing the window caulk is what we call frame sealant over here in the UK :) Could you add glitter to it Lindsay?
sure, I think I would sprinkle in on the top while the paste is wet or let the entire thing dry, replace the stencil and dab on glue and sprinkle glitter. OR you could mix glitter into clear caulking...
Excellent idea, thanks xx
Ty so much!
This is cool! Thanka for sharing!
Great idea! Thank you
Thank you for sharing!
great idea im sure i have some stencils lying around doin nothin since i also got my bigshot xxx
Thanks so much--You are a genius----
can i use the mixture with color on a teeshirt?
you know, I think you could:)
I've used punches and dies to cut out shapes on scrap card and acetate then used that as a stencil - then the stencil can be thrown away
great idea!
Thanks! Do you recommend only using the brass stencils or will ordinary ones hold up to the cleaning process?
Another home run ;). What was that paint you used with your fingers to paint over the dress stencil you showed? TFS, love it.
metallic rub ons by Craf-T products:)
Joint drywall compound paste works better for this ;)
Kailey Bender do you mix it with glue to keep it from flaking?
Nope.... Just the compound
Where can i buy this type of stencils?
Beautifull
Hi. what is this paste called in other countries.
not sure what to ask for.
is it silicon paste in tube? thank you.
would you add glitter to the top or mix it in if you wanted it?
Can I use white acrylic medium instead of paint?
I see you use a pasty color to ad to the caulk. Can I use a bottled acrylic used for painting wood, etc. I know I will have to use just a small amount so it doesn't run. Have you tried this color method?
bottled acrylic is great to use too:)
Hi Lindsay good idea but one question for you can I use embossing powder on this and the heat tool? I hope so thank u in advance
keianas sweets&treats it might make it puffy but try it:)
Another great idea. Can brass stencils be used in machines like the big shot?
yes, run it through with a sheet of rubber or silicone:)
Thanks for answering and the info!
Ok can I mix this up in a little container with lid and store it or will it dry out?
angel hugs
Debby
I think so as long as it is a small containor and there is not too much air in there, it dries really fasy when out in the air. You might want to put a damp paper towel or plastic wrap pressed into the paste before putting on the lid to keep air out too. The dollar sore has 12 packs of small circle and square containers that would be perfect in the container aisle.
I know this is an order video; I was looking for a DIY for glitter paste. Do you think this could work like the new bo bunny glitter paste if you simply add glitter to it?
I would use a clear caulking and glitter so the sparkle does not get dulled.
Apparently you have found a masking tape that actually comes off the roll properly. What brand do you use?
I'm not sure, the cheap stuff:)
does the calk have to have a little silcone in it...i bought one with out silcone..thanks
nope, I use latex
Thanks
Wonder if you could help... I have some molding paste from ART-c I purchased at my Tuesday Morming. Out of the three jars two of the molding paste has turned into a rubbery consistancy. I bought it a few months ago so I can't return it. Anything you could recommend to bring life back into it or should I just toss it?
Thank You!
gee, I have no idea, contact the company and see if you can revive it with water or solvent.
Thank you.
Lady I want to kiss your hands. Like the way you explain. Love the water bucket n stencils.
What is cocking? Is it like filler for windows?!
yes it is and it is spelled caulking or caulk, get the latex not silicone, cheaper is better in this case;)
Will this technique only work with brass stencils?
plastic ones work great too!
Awesome, thank you!
Waw
I was trying to figure out how to send you a picture of the container, but I'm an idiot apparently LOL if you can tell me how, I can send you a picture of the stuff I'm talking about. Wallboard joint compound
Great tutorial, thanks...willy wonka moment LOL
Hi Lindsey , How long does it take to dry after you have done your design ?
about 30 minutes to be safe and not smear it:)
would you be able to add a bit of glitter before it dries
yes:) or you can let it dry, replace the stencil and dab on glue and sprinkle glitter.
can i use silicon instead
Which kind of color are you using? Is it a paste color?
regular acrylic paint:) Any brand is fine:)
Thanks! I really love your projects!
this mixture is not toxic? As in safe to work with?
Oh yes! It is used in houses and there is no oder.
oh wow , thanks. got a very low disability inciome, this wouldgrant me more fior food,and still enjoy crafting! It s so much fun, even more whgen you can learn from others! beside that, I love your youtube vids, whn I can t skleep, Ijust put an long painting acrylic youtube of yours on.
