A great video tutorial for Homemade Glimmer Mist is Roseanne's YouTube Tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFeiSTHlknc)
Supplies Needed:
Mini Mister (or other spray bottle)
Distress Ink Re-Inker (optional)
Perfect Pearls (This is important because Perfect Pearls have a binder in them so the sparkle stays and doesn't rub off. If you use another powdered pigment product, you will have to add some sort of binder to it - gum arabic, hairspray, etc.)
Water or Isopropyl Alcohol
Popsicle Stick
It's so simple to do:
1. Put a scoop (or two) of Perfect Pearls into an empty Mini Mister.
You can use a popsicle stick to scoop. It's really just a pinch of Perfect Pearls.
The more Perfect Pearls you put in, the more shiny your spray will be. And you can use gold, silver, copper, green, blue, whatever color of Perfect Pearls you'd like. It will color your mist a bit, which is fun.
2. Put several drops of re-inker into your Mini Mister. You can use as much or as little as you want. I like to use one dropper full. I also make Glimmer Mist with just the Perfect Pearls and no re-inker. Experiment a bit for the effect you prefer.
3. Add water or isopropyl alcohol.
Be careful not to fill it up to the top because you will need to shake it up (to mix the Perfect Pearls, which settles at the bottom).
4. Shake that mist and you're ready to spray! I use my heat gun to heat set; but, it isn't necessary. I'm just not patient enough to wait for it to dry.
Live long & prosper,
