If you’re still living in a winter wonderland here are some alternatives to spraypaint that can be used indoors. All of these samples were sprayed onto file folders.
There’s also regular paint. Applied with a foam brush it works fairly well.
My favorite of course remains spraypaint. On a rainy day, the Maya Mists would be my 2nd choice, or regular paint. But it’s nice to have options.
If you’ve never used spraypaint you’ll adjust just fine to whichever stenciling method you choose.
Everything shown here ranges in price from 2-7 buckeroos. The Maya Mists are the most expensive, spraypaint the least. Have fun experimenting!
There is also a product called Memories Mists I believe-made by the people who make Memories Ink Pads-I picked up a silver one for the heck of it since this kind of stuff is hard to find-WHOA NELLY-this stuff rocks!! I have tried A LOT of spray inks and this is my favorite now! Talk about SPARKLE! I need to try the non-sparkle colors now-I am impressed!
I have been experimenting with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and Maya Road Maya Mists… oh they are addictive!!! I also love Tim Holtz Distress ReInkers(and or Adirandack Alcohol Ink reinkers) mixed with water and Perfect Pearls delicious! Give it a whurl! Is it April 10th yet?
I had been here yesterday, taking a whole load of joy and inspiration from several of your posts (I hope I managed to avoid leaving telltale traces! *g*).
Today, I read your profile information. *giggle*
Great entertainment. I have a getaway car too.
Only trouble is I have no idea where to go should the need arise. 😉
In our house, our son is the spray master.
They only hands-on spraying I do is when I treat my boots to a round of new black. *sigh*
miss moss you are ever so wonderful…
xox – eb.
Thanks for these, I am beginning to worry since we have had gale force winds (just who exactly is a gale anyway? and why won’t she leave NM alone?) for days and days and I am despairing of ever being able to spray anything outside that I don’t want to end up in AZ! I have had several “helpful” suggestions of how to set up a booth of sorts to spray outside. Just how good is that mask thingy I bought? I guess we’ll find out…smooches
hahaha…my credit card is ticking, too! I did order some henna stencils already. I am going to try the spray inks and regular paint. The pan pastel idea is tempting.
I’m cited 😉
Thanks MAM!
thank you! I love reviews and comparisons of supplies. it makes life so much easier and just sort of helps to take the mystery out of things (in a good way)! i’ll be signing up for your class tomorrow- btw!
I may have to use an alternative….not due to cold weather but we have so much wind that trying to spray paint outside could be a challenge!
I see you have plunged in, index finger first into your spring break. It bodes well for us in etherland. Don’t forget to include Blo-Pens (makes you cheeks hurt after a while but they work very well for lazy sprayers like me). I’ll bet “Pan Pastels” applied with a make up foam work too – I just haven’t acquired any yet (is that the sound of a ticking credit card I hear?…)
