As Promised...Another 'All Jacked up' Project

Hey everybody, I hope you are having fun on this blog hop!!!! its nice short and sweet and there are some really cute projects... I really want to hit 100 followers today, do you think you can make it happen...I will send out something special to one of my followers, don't know yet what that is but I have lots that I could give out. So anyway what do you think of the twine holder? I think it will be really nice for that crafting twine that's out there, I just have to get my hands on some of that stuff.

For my 2nd project, I was inspired by my new online friend. I had never been introduced to Misting Sprays until I went to her house. Wow, I love love love them now. The possibilities are endless, well as long as you have the paint to make them. Oh I am getting ahead of my self...sorry

I took this old spice rack and turned it into a "Misting Machine"... not really a machine but a holder.
I got a little obsessed with making this misting stuff, here is how I made my misting spray (I could not see spending $7-$8 on the name brand misting sprays) there are many ways of doing this and I found that I like this way the best...


got this for a $1.00 at Goodwill

Take a small spray bottle put about 1/2 to 2/3 full of water, drop in a little bit of crafting paint(any color you wish) and I put white glue or some Mod Podge, it does not take much. Now for the secret ingredient ... I put in some metallic paint, either silver or gold or Pearl, this is the step I like the most cuz it makes my spritz just cool... so if you have any questions about this project just drop me a note and I can help you... I also tried hair spray with the water and paint, oh yeah you do need to blast it with a bit of heat from a heat gun as to set the paint and not warp the project....


Added some flowers

OK, so I also took some vinyl and dressed up the spice rack and made a box for the top, to hold the bottles that did not fit right...with that said the bottles that I found fit the best you can get from the Dollar Tree, they come in a 3 pack of different bottles so you get 1 or 2 spritzing bottles with other small bottles and I just used those other bottles to fill in the gap and I can always switch out the caps when needed...



Put it all together!!!

 So .... come back for another project...Hope I did not bore you too much!! Happy Hopping

  10. This is an awesome project..I had to tell you again. I wanted to stop back by today to see if you posted anything new... I am going to have to try to make my own misting sprays... I haven't tried to make any yet... I think I'm going to hit the dollar store up for some bottles and then go looking for a very cool spice rack to dress up.
