GREAT WAYS TO USE MICA POWDER IN CRAFTS

Mica powders provide shine and glitter to craft creations by containing light-reflecting particles that produce gorgeous lustrous natural sparkling colours. If you haven't used them in crafting, you may have used them unknowingly; because they are made from pure natural minerals and ore, cosmetic-grade versions of this item can even be found in makeup and toiletries.


This powder is popular in the crafting community for improving metal work, fine art, pottery, scrapbook items, rubber-stamped crafts, and a variety of other home décor projects. This powder can also be used to improve the finish of paint, glue, and varnishes.


Here are five creative ways to use mica powder in crafts.


Rubber Stamps


This powder will make your rubber stamp projects stand out. Beautiful homemade cards can be made with a rubber stamp and powder. Push the rubber stamp firmly into your ink pad. Stamp the design on the front of your card, then cover it with powdered powder before the ink dries. Shake the extra powder off the design gently. Refill the jar with the remaining powder. This gleaming powder accent will elevate your handcrafted cards to the next level.


Clay


To give raw clay a metallic appearance, apply this powder with a brush or sponge. This powder can also be mixed into the clay to give it a gloss. To transform cured clay into a gorgeous glazed artwork, mix this powder with varnish or liquid clay.


Painting


Mica powder can be used to create stunning graphics on scrapbooking cards, attractive boxes, and a variety of other craft items. The powder can be turned into paint by dipping a little wet paintbrush into a small amount of powder placed on a dish. Continue to combine the water and powder until it forms a thin paste. Start painting your project after dipping your brush into the paste. You can also add a little powder to your existing oil and acrylic paints.


Decoupage


Mica powder may be incorporated into any liquid adhesive solution used for decoupage. Begin by putting some glue into a basin. Mix a little powder into your glue at a time until you achieve the desired level of glitter. You may also mix this powder into the transparent glaze used to seal your decoupage products.


Shimmer Spray


Spray paper creations, flowers, linens, and greeting cards with a homemade shimmer spray to add a gorgeous coating of gloss. Fill a spray bottle halfway with water to start producing this spray. Pour in a large quantity of metallic paint. Shake the bottle well. 1 spoonful of powder and glue should be added. Shake the bottle well. Your shimmer spray is now ready to use on all of your fantastic creative creations.


Mica powder is simple to work with and versatile. It's the essential craft supply for adding a wow element to all of your home décor and DIY projects.
