Sparkly Junk Mail Spin Art Journal

There is nothing more satisfying than using my piles of junk mail for something artsy!  I was even able to use some cardboard for this project which was a big upcycle bonus.  If you follow me, you know I love to make art journals out of recycled materials.  Magazines are my favorite, but I'll use almost anything that's destined for a landfill!  For me, the best part of this project was binding the entire journal using transparent tape!  Yup, cheap packing tape and office tape.  Check out the video below to see just how I did it!  I've said it 1000 times...Use what you have, my sweet chickens, and always Make Your Mark! 
All the awesome stuff I used:
DecoArt Galaxy Glitter: https://amzn.to/2RsT4ho
DecoArt Shimmer Misters: https://bit.ly/3dBx2AG
DecoArt Ready-To-Pour Acrylics: https://bit.ly/2WuOph1
 Ready to fill with random thoughts!
It's always a wonderful surprise when the machine stops spinning!

 Stacked and ready to bind!
I like to decoupage black and white graphics over the colors for contrast!
Happy Journaling!

Turntable Spin Art with Pouring Medium

You might know how much I love painting stuff on a turntable or lazy Susan.  There is nothing more relaxing than adding paint to something that's spinning in front of you.  It's magical!  I decided to try a pour painting with this technique and I'm super happy with how they turned out.  The longer you leave it on the record player, the more the colors reach out toward the edge.  I also found that the more colors you use, the better!  Be fearless and experiment with everything and don't forget to
Make Your Mark!
 The one in the center is my favorite!
 This is a terrific way to use up the colors you've been ignoring
Just add DecoArt Pouring Medium and you're good to go!

Watch how to make it here!
Cover the turntable with a box and you'll keep it paint free!
