Create Stunning Horoscope Tattoos With Airbrush Kits

To create temporary tattoos, the first thing you need to get is an airbrush kit. This includes not just your airbrush machine and spray tips, but a host of other accessories you need to do your work. The great thing about airbrushing is that you can start off with simple designs before progressing to more complicated ones.



Also, it might take some time to decide exactly what you need for different tasks. If you will be airbrushing on several different surfaces, you will obviously need more supplies than if you will always be working on the same type of surface. All this takes experience, but you will soon amass a collection of supplies to cater for most airbrushing tasks.

If you have just gotten into airbrushing, you might need some help putting together your airbrush kit. The problem is that you can go to your supplies resource and purchase a bundle of airbrushing equipment that you just don’t need. Many newcomers to the art of airbrushing have wasted a lot of time and effort by rushing into buying equipment without doing any research.

We can all admit that airbrushing supplies can get expensive, so you don’t need to buy things you don’t require. Instead, you might need help to determine exactly what you need, most of us do when we first start airbrushing. Beginners can be very easily confused by the vast array of different products to choose from.

It’s a good idea to sign up and take some lessons in the art of airbrushing and you may also get some advice on the essential items to purchase. Always create a checklist of the things yoiu need and the reason you need them. This will ensure that you don’t forget anything important.

Inspirational Home Accessory Ideas: "Dream" Glass Vase

Inspirational home accessories are definitely a trend that lines the shelves of home decor shops and department stores. From wall art to candle holders, pieces with a sweet or sentimental message are very popular. Instead of spending a fortune on such an item, consider this simple 'Dream' glass vase craft.

For this project, you will need:

- One five inch by five inch square glass vase (such as the one found here at Save-On-Crafts)

- Soap and water

- Paper towels

- Shrink paper

- Three inch or larger typewriter print mounted rubber alphabet stamps

- Other mounted rubber stamp designs (optional)

- Black permanent ink

- Scissors

- Cookie sheet

- Oven

- Dimensional glue

- Toothpick or stylus

- Gorilla Glue

- Acrylic finishing spray

The first step in this project is to wash the five inch by five inch square glass vase with soap and water. Dry the vase completely with paper towels. Set aside.



Lay the shrink paper flat on your work area. With three inch or larger alphabet stamps and black permanent ink, stamp out the letters for the word "dream" onto the paper. Cut out each letter individually. Lay the letters onto the cookie sheet gently. (If you are using any other stamped designs for your vase, now is the time to stamp them onto the shrink paper and continue as directed.) Shrink the paper in the over according to the manufacturer's directions. Cool completely.

Place the square glass vase on its side. Apply a bit of Gorilla Glue to the back of one of the shrunken letters. Adhere the letter to the glass. Repeat with the remaining letters, spelling out the word "dream". Allow the glue to dry completely.

Apply a generous amount of dimensional glue to one of the letters. Spread the glue towards the edges of the letter using a toothpick or stylus. Continue to do this step with each of the letters until all are complete.

Once the dimensional glue has dried, apply a generous amount of acrylic finishing spray to the project. Dry overnight. While this project is very fun and creative when finished, it is hand wash only.

The DIY project is very easy. There are some other DIY craft projects that many women like to do, such as the handmade tote bag. This bag is best make with the use of quality velcro tapes. If you are in need of such tapes, you may check out here.
