![]() Progress: Of course, spray paint may not be the most common item laying around the house. I, on the other hand, find it common because it comes in handy for because I'm either spray painting clothes or shoes. That is how I utilize it around my house. One can of spray paint may cost from $5-$7 dollars. Lucky for me, I found an alternate way to make my own spray paint. It's was cheap to make, but quite messy when I made it. I first browsed the web in search for a new DIY project to do. Fortunately, I came across homemade spray paint; thinking this can come in handy some time. I looked at the supplies I needed and my jaw dropped; literally. Progress continued: Now that the supplies are ready, all that is needed to be done is mix the paint and water. Please note that the solution must have 2 parts of paint and 1 part of water. In the following video I used 4 spoonfuls of paint and 2 spoonfuls of water. As I am pouring in the water it did get quite messy since my spray bottle was so small. With that being said, prepare your work area with plenty of towels or paper towels incase of an accident while making the spray paint. Enjoy this time lapse video of me making homemade spray paint! ![]() Reflection: Despite the mess I made, I really love how it worked. Of course it didn't work as well as a spray paint can, but it is what it is. I noticed a huge difference between the two; smell. One knows when regular spray paint is used because it causes a strong smell to spread around. Whereas while I was testing out my own spray paint, I didn't have to worry about making the house smell because I did not mix any chemicals into my solution. Homemade spray paint is a plus because it has no smell. To talk about the result, I was expecting my project to not work as well as the regular store bought spray paint. However I was a bit surprised on how well it works. Also, this homemade version is less harmful then the regular product. All the chemicals in the original project can be harmful for the lungs or brain. This is why I prefer to use my homemade product instead of harming myself. I will definitely be using this for future art projects.
