Homemade Flourish Bling Tutorial

Hello everyone, today's tutorial is how to make your own bling swirls.

What you need:

1. Transparencies: from any office supply store
2. Puffy paint: Liquid pearls and dimensional pearls, fabric paint. etc
3. Swirls template: I bought a few bling swirls and scanned them and print them to have my templates, but you can use stitch templates available on the internet or any gem or rhinestone template will do. Also you can make it using templates of butterflies, crown, hearts etc.
4. Scissors or craft knife.

 Take your template and put it under the transparency

 Place paint in the transparency on top of each circle. Squeeze the bottle of paint gently, always adding small amount at a time, because if you need more you can add it, if you don't like the dot of paint, grab a cotton swab and wipe the transparency clean and do it again.

 Once you make the whole template, allow to dry from 20 to 30 minutes. That depends on the size of the dots of paint. I usually do a lot of them and let them dry overnight. After the paint is dry and hard, cut around the edges, really close to the dots so there is not much of the transparency to see.

Here is the finished result. I use paper thin glue dots to adhere them to my pages. Cut the glue dot if it's too big and put it in the transparency where the bigger dots are.
