Unicorn Spit is a vibrant, gel-stain and glaze-in-one art medium that works beautifully on wood, glass, canvas, fabric, and more. It's water-based, non-toxic, and smells like jasmine (seriously!). Here’s a quick rundown on how to use it in an art project:
🎨 Basic Supplies You'll Need:
- Unicorn Spit (pick your colors)
- Paintbrushes or foam brushes
- Spray bottle with water
- Protective gloves (optional but helpful)
- Surface (wood, canvas, glass, etc.)
- Sealer (like Polycrylic or epoxy if you're sealing glass)
Cool Techniques to Try:
Stained Glass Effect (on glass or plexiglass)
- Clean your glass surface well.
- Mix Unicorn Spit with a bit of water to make it more translucent.
- Use a brush or your fingers to apply color.
- Let it dry completely.
- Seal with a clear epoxy resin or sealer for that glossy stained-glass look.
Woodgrain Enhancement (on wood)
- Lightly sand and clean the wood.
- Apply Unicorn Spit directly to the wood and use a brush or your hands to blend it in.
- You can spritz it with water to help with blending.
- Once dry, seal with polyurethane or epoxy.
Marbling (on any surface)
- Wet your surface slightly with water.
- Drizzle or squirt Unicorn Spit in different colors.
- Use a stick, comb, or your fingers to swirl the colors.
- Spritz lightly with water to help it move.
- Let it dry and seal for that high-shine finish.
Fabric Dyeing (tie-dye style)
Mix with water in a 1:1 ratio.
Apply like dye (squeeze bottles, brush, etc.).
Let dry completely.
Heat set with an iron (protect with parchment) or run it through a dryer.
Seal with fabric medium or leave as-is if decorative.
⚠️ Tips & Tricks:
- Don’t overwork it. Once it starts drying, let it be, or you might get muddy colors.
- Layering: You can layer colors once each is dry to create depth.
- Sealing: Always seal your work. Unicorn Spit is water-soluble, so it can reactivate with moisture if left unsealed.
