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!!! |
wow thats was awesome...thansk for shareing..'aint jacked anymore"...

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.
