And I'm literally spray-painting water.
This is probably the coolest thing that I've recently come across and I'm kind
of doing it to everything
What we're gonna do is hydro dipping or marbling
and it couldn't be easier the two things that we need we can literally get it
at the hardware store we just need a big plastic tub like this filled with water
and spray paint
And the thing with this you really want to do this in a
well-ventilated area make sure you do it in a garage or outside definitely not in
the house and again it's something really really fast. Okay so make sure for
this project that you definitely wear gloves because we are using spray paint
and you can see here this tub is definitely gonna be ruined because we
are putting spray paint in it the rim all around will have a residue of spray
paint so don't use one of your good laundry tubs just get an inexpensive one
or an old one that you might have lying around we filled it up with room
temperature water and now we're ready to do in the hydrodip.
I just got inexpensive flowerpots here the background is sort of this dusty rose
kind of colour so I want to do a bit of almost a rose marble
Okay so I have a
collection of different colored spray paints here the first we're going to
start with a bright pink
And this is all you do we're gonna spray it around a few
dots and the next color we have here is this very light to the pale Rose and
like I said that's how easy it is and then I have a darker sort of brownie
rose and you can see in the bin here it already starts to look Marbley that's
what we want we want to have these little bursts of color and then I have
because for a lot of marbles have sort of dark veining just a few little shots
and then maybe a bit of a brown
So in the bin here this sort of sort of created a bit of a hole and I'm gonna go
in with a bit of white and maybe a bit more of this dark pink color okay and
that should be good so we're not going to touch the top of the water or disrupt
it in any way now we're just ready to literally do the dipping so here's how
quick it goes
And what you're going to do is you're going to turn and spin it
and literally there you have your marbled piece now the cool thing with
this is that the water will flow off and the paint will literally dry in like two
minutes so what you can do is you can kind of shake off some of the excess
water and if you want go back in and dip say the other side
So you can put that aside, let it dry
The great thing with this is that you can use whatever colours
you want you can layer it up so you can let this dry and then go back in and big
you know create darker marble if you want or even adds a different color if
you want again it's completely endless
As you can see when you when you dip it in because the spray-paint is floating
on the water it's just sort of like looking for a surface to pick up and it
almost wraps it like cellophane so that's why when you're dipping you want
to dip and turn and rotate again you can always go back into it but that's where
you get these really cool sort of like lines and stuff it almost looks like
like tissue has been has been decoupaged on it but just so cool and again
this is permanent because it's spray paint
Now if you've made a mistake with anything don't worry about it you can
always go back in and redip that's why it's always best to sort of start really
light and then work up to to something much darker unless you really want the
that really dramatic effect
Here's one that I've done earlier it was sort of a grayish cream pot I did a
black over it and then now I can add a pink and let's see what happens
Not so exciting it's just pink but hey I can dip it again when it dries
Now if you want to change the entire color scheme because and here we have pink now I want
to go into a lime green and black so what you want to do is just take a rag
and as you can see what we're gonna do is we're gonna literally dip the rag and
the rag will pull up all that excess paint allowing us to then change the
colour so you'd actually don't even need to change the water because this will
just pick up our residues because I don't want to get pink say on my next
project but any of the residue that's on the side of the bin it's permanent
Okay, cool now the cool thing with this is that you
can like I said literally do anything I'm gonna do this clock here just gonna
pull the backing out now the only thing I would sort of shy away from is
anything electrical like a lamp again you don't want to be dipping something
you know like a lamp and then try and plug it in that's how it just don't do
that you also don't want to do anything that you're gonna eat off of like
dinnerware definitely don't do that but anything decorative like a pot or
something like that can totally be done and this one here I'm gonna do sort of
in maybe a classic marble which is sort of grays and blacks and some taupe these
whites and again with this one here because we have the white as our
background the white will be actually one of our colors so let's see what
happens
It's kind of cool
You can just shake the water off put back on our clock face
Cool. Like a cool marble clock that's awesome
Now I'm going to try to do this
big Rhino head which I think it's really really cool and I got a spot in the wall
for him so I think I'm gonna pick lime green/black keep things organized lime
green and black let's try that first
That's half of him
And in you go for round two
Kind of neat because everything becomes almost
happy accidents right I don't really know where it's gonna go
I like it I think he's done case we're gonna hang it on the wall
Yeah looks awesome cool so hope you guys enjoyed hydrodipping as much as I did
and like I said do it in a well-ventilated area
And have fun we'll see you soon
