Hey if anyone’s doing this you can use acetone or nail polish remover to get off the logos in most cases
Or methylated spirits!
Quilesca why did I think about setting the box on fire
I've never thought about using an eyeshadow palette! I've seen mint tins, but never eyeshadows. Great idea!
+Anne Elizabeth thanks! It's super useful!
I made something like this 2 years ago but didn't end up liking it. I've realized I like a lot of room to mix colors.
There are cheap ($10-20) empty palettes on Amazon and the koi set is awesome with mixing space too.
I ended up giving the set I made to a little girl who was thrilled. So no loss there :)
Antonea Payan That so sweet😄
When you are so poor and do this diy (?
I just bought the basic reeves sketching set and it comes in the same tin as the 12 cake watercolours with 3 mixing wells in the lid. So the sketching items can go elsewhere and I can stick some watercolour pans into the tin and I will have a lovely little travel box with the iconic reeves logo.
This is adorable! I've never been really eager to make a tiny palette but recently saw the pocket palette and now this! I may have to try it out :)
In Liquid Color I'm so excited to use it on our trip! ^_^ 🎨
In Liquid Color I also have a tiny altoids tin I've been saving to make a limited color palatte one of these days ^_^
Totally unrelated to the topic but… is your profile picture a red panda? (So adorable!)
Love your frugal travel palette! To prevent your gouache (or watercolor) from cracking you can mix in a drop of glycerin - especially helpful with Veridian and student grade watercolors. If you have shimmery eye shadows you can add gum arabic and a little glycerin and make your own shimmery paints - both of these tips are from Lindsay Weirich, the Frugal Crafter on RUclips.
+paulage1art Those are awesome tips! I love the shimmery paint idea! Thank so much and for watching 💕
So you're saying, if I get a shimmery eyeshadow palette, I can use the eyeshadow there to make my own shimmer paints? That's a great idea!
I use eyeshadow palettes but I dig out the eyeshadow from the metal tubs and wash them , and fill them with paint...then there is no messing with glue beneath them, and they are quite nice to keep in the palette too.
LOVE the idea of creating mixing wells onto the lid of the tiny palettes that I've already made. I never thought about doing that. So cool. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
I dont like make up, but i feel sad for the eye shadows
Haha I do too a little but this is the cheapest makeup you can buy which helps me feel better lol
@@JenniferCharleeArt I've heard/seen you can mull (grind) eyeshadow up with add gum arabic for more colors/tones including the metallic ones to use with your art or projects
Those LA Color 12 pan eyeshadow sets are actually quite nice. Don't let the $1 price fool you. :-)
You can save the metal pans, put magnets on them and use to make another pallette in a metal tin. You can use the eyeshadow to make art. I don't like the way it feels on my skin so I dont' wear makeup anymore.
Great idea! Wonderful adaptation of the lid for mixing. I used the lid of a large yogurt container when I was in Europe to have a larger but still light weight mixing area.
Here’s my method:
I buy a small wooden box at the dollar store
I divide spaces with thick cardboard
Fill em up with tube colours
Tada
Btw it doesnt leak, if you have the right cardboard ofcourse.
Demo
Great stuff! I’ve been using tins from the dollar store, empty half and full pans (Amazon) and sticky back magnets from the dollar store. Some tins are sleek, close really well and even have white inner lids that are perfect as a mixing pallet. I’ve also been reusing tins other art supplies come in as pallets. This is a new idea to me! I don’t use makeup but next time I’m in a dollar store I’ll keep an eye out in case I find one that would make a perfect travel pallet.
Tight well closing tins with empty half/full pans work perfect for gouache btw! Also reactivate it ahead with a mist spray and it is easier to use, more opaque and the cracks vanish. Gouache varies brand by brand. Beware Holbein offer time they dry as a useless rock and will not reactivate! To counter this I add a touch of honey and have heard vegetable glycerin also works. Too much however makes the gouache become shiny loosing the beautiful matte quality. I highly recommend the HimI/Miya gouache as I find it not only works very well but the price is astonishing compared to other gouache!
What I have done I’ll recommend here is use makeup brushes for painting (I use for watercolour, gouache and acrylic paint). Having separate watercolour and acrylic brushes. Using watercolour for watercolour and/or gouache. Even the dollar store ones are amazing and are excellent to add to your brushes. They are great for special effects, soft gradients, blending, clouds, lifting softly and more! Stiffer makeup brushes really work amazing with gouache and allow incredible and easy perfect blending!
I’ve been commenting all over about makeup brushes LOL.
Very fun video, thanks.
I have a Koi palette that I take travelling with me, it is like watercolor apocalypse, trying to fit in all my favorite colors in a palette to travel, so I restrain myself and use koi. :D
I love my koi palette for the same reason!
i have been using the same eyeshadow box for the past 2 years, i solved the mixing area by using glue spots and gluing in my sons old plastic ID face side down- it had a plain white back. the plastic card can be emoved to wash and stick it back in when dry. i must say though dividing the top to mixing wells is a great idea
+Suzala Suzala oh, a removable white space is a great idea :D
I just bought that exact eyeshadow palette last week to put watercolors in. Haven’t removed them yet, so I’m glad I got to see how you did it. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.
I just wanna say that because of this video I actually went out and purchased the same makeup pallet from the dollar store and i just wanted to say thank you 😊 you-helped me step in the beautiful world of watercolor 🙏🏻 thank you 😊!!!!!!!!!
One thing I have done with my travel palette is to stick 1/2 of a Derwent Inktense stick into an area where I couldn’t fit in any pans. This way, I have what amounts to a pan of waterproof sepia ink if I want to do a drawing (with my brush) and do a watercolor wash over it. I don’t have room in my palette, but I thought I would do the same with a 1/2 stick of Derwent white Inktense since This, too, is waterproof when dry and you can paint over it.
+Lisa Thaviu Oh! What a cool idea!
Great idea! I cut off a black, brown and white Stabilo pencil and they fit well in my diy travel palette.
I love the hot glue idea. I'm going to add it to the design. I used the exact same eyeshadow palette from dollar general but i left the metal squares in and painted it with appliance epoxy paint and it worked wonderful.😊
I need those travel watercolor palettes too!!! 💖💖💖 i just started watercolor and im so in love with it.
This is such a fantastic idea!!! I wouldnt have even thought of using an eye shadow case for watercolours. This is great!! :) Thanks for sharing!
Emma Butcher you're so welcome! Let me know if you make one yourself, I'd love to see it...you can make palettes out of so many fun containers, I just found one like this was the most convenient :)
I discovered your channel a few minutes ago! Now excuse me while I watch your videos all day long
+Xentli M awww yay! Thanks for the love 💓
Same
I would not put the paint in those wells with remnants of the cheap glue used to hold the original eyeshadow tins. Not sure it will work with cheap containers from dollar store, but to remove glue from plastics, trying mixing oil (olive, grapeseed, etc.) with baking soda.
adding a bit of honey to gouache helps too :)
Yes! I have heard that tip and may have to try it...thanks!
When I do this, I leave the pans stuck in the "palette" but if you want to remove the pans apparently it helps to heat them somehow. Hairdryer, perhaps?
You can buy the full and half, empty plastic pans, and make any arrangement you want. They sell them on E-Bay 10 x $1.39 from China.
I have Koi's 12 color pallet. Its great. I also have a tin pallet meant for 12 half-pans and I managed to fit 20 half-pans. 😊
lol i use that LA colors eyeshadows. they are actually not bad haha
Torbjörnetta Lindholm you should't use cheap makeup, it's bad for your skin darling!
@@ranaaydn2104 That depends on the company's that they're buying from. Lost of drugstore makeup is pretty good, and doesn't harm your skin. It just depends on which brand.
It’s criminal that this doesn’t have 1mil views
I live on a tiny island in the UK and hope that you had a wonderful time Europe and managed to use your excellent home made paint boxes. Thank you for sharing.
ooh! i'm planning on ordering the winsor and newton pocket box or whatever it's called (still ordering it)
this seems like a fun project i'll for sure do! i never though of using eye shadow palettes...
Instead of using white paint in the pallet I use a white out pen that I Carry around with me. Also I will definitely be trying this out it is genius.
I'm so so late, I just stumbled upon this, but this is, probably by far, the bets watercolor video I've ever watched imo. I'm so making this! Hah.
I've made something similar. You could also use nail polish remover to take the print off the top. I spray painted the outside of the clear top with white paint.
I just bought the exact same case today! I'm thinking about spray painting it white.
That's SO genius.
exactly what I was looking for, I'm so thankful for this video, thank you and congratulations for your work :)
Wonderful! It makes me want to make one. Thank you for sharing!
Such a great idea, thanks for sharing. I’ve been waiting to make one but of course I can’t afford to buy the paints anyway 😅 I wish I knew someone who could send me a small sample of each 🤔😊
In order to get the pans out easier heat up the bottom of it with a blow dryer or heat gun. It will heat up the glue and make it liquid
Maybe if u wanna erase the words you could use rubbing alcohol to clean it off instead of sanding it off
Best travel palette tutorial I have found. Thank you!
I've made one with the same thing but I kept the little trays in place.Nice work btw
U should try using nail polish remover to smoothly remve to logo
So many great ideas here!
I really love this idea and have been looking all over the internet for a cheap one, this is so cool and love the idea I’m doing this, also I fell really bad for the eyeshadows.
Some paints do crack because they do not have enough humectant in them. You can add a little vegetable glycerin an/or honey to them (I also add a small amount of Gum Arabic as well). This will not harm the paints nor the archival quality of them - some paints come with honey or some other humectant in them (e.g. M Graham)
Great idea! Suggestion for taking of the sticky stuff... Use goo gone.
Ooo now I wanna do disssss
If I get tube watercolor one day I'll do this c: cause right now I only have gouache lol in tubes
I love this idea, be sure I'll try this out!! 💕
+Diana Totos Let me know if you do! I'd love to see it! ^_^
This is so cute I want one
That is simply Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!
This is very cool and simple😁👍
This is the best travel palette!!!!! The thing is, i don't have the watercolor in tubes, only in pans?!??
Thank you so much for sharing this! What a fantastic tip!!
Really cute DIY palette. Have a few ones I want to make myself. Thanks so much for all the tips. :)
How do you stop the tube paints from spilling around in the tin. I imagine if i had a field kit I would store it on it’s side. Would the paints not shift around as they are liquid?
Beautiful handwrite.
Awesome! I would add swatches to the top
I made a travel palette out of a small Q tip box, holds 24 half pans
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Love this dollar store idea. We can keep items from the landfill.
What other girls see:
Eye Shadows
What artists see:
Beautiful water color they wanted to dip their brushes to.
Can u relate?
I never would have thought of using a makeup container....
Neither would I. I'll be looking for some dollar store eyeshadow pallettes.
This was real fun to watch! Great idea!
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D
You are genius!!!thank you
Can you use any tube watercolors to be able to do this? Or does the watercolor has to have something specific in it to be able to be reactivated again?
How did you bring a brush?
Just found your channel and I subscribed 😍
Such a clever idea for travel palettes 😍
so cute.! thanks for the awesome idea.
Great idea!!!!
love the idea!
that is a fantastic idea!
XD
I made it is so cool 😎
the paint does not move from its place when there is a lot of movement?
Loved this!!! 🖤🖤🖤💕
Great idea👍👍!!!!
Loved this, thank you.😀
How long did you leave it to dry?
Help! I have tubed watercolors that I really like... What can I do to make this?
Superb..... 😁 😁 😁
Brilliant!
I always tought about doing this and now I am sure I will,thank you so much for this video 😍
You just got a new subscriber 😄
Thank you so much for watching and joining the family :)
Which white pen are you using in the video?
That is brilliant!
Great stuff, as always, Jennifer! Have a wonderful holiday season! :)
+M.D. Campbell Thanks so much! You as well!
ever think about painting a layer of acrylic on the lid?
I have a problem. I would often try to bring almost all of my art materials and pack them into my bag as much as possible. 36 color pencils? Suck it up, sketchbooks, he's coming with us! Five types of palette knives? I probably won't use them on the road anytime soon, but what the heck! Pens, get out of that pencil case, these knives will be stayin there! You sit at the outside pocket.
Heck, all of my brushes are on my bag.
How I worked into making it work is that, for one, my bag has that flap that lets you cover your main pocket and that flap is also a pocket. So that I don't have to be hassled to open the main pocket wuth each one of the art stuff, I put the essentials on the flap pocket and the outside pocket.
I think what happens is that, I'm afraid that if I just keep my stuff at a closed place, where I don't see them often, I would forget about them so this method of putting everything in a bag that is always with me kind of helps fix that. But in exchange, my bag is always full.
But I am trying to find a solution! For one, I'm going to try and limit my color pencils up to about 10-15 that I would bring around, sane with markers. The brushes stays with me though. I plan on doing a few paintings on the road (since I feel a road trip soon). As for paint... I think that is the reason I initially clicked on this video. But I got sidetracked and commented this.
Nice video, by the way. It was very helpful.
amazing!
You didn't have to sand the top!!!!! Nail polish remover would have removed the logo easily without leaving a scratchy texture!
Shades Of Rad Doesn’t nail polish remover damage acrylics and cheap plastics? I think rubbing alcohol would be a safer way to go.
Nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol didn't work for me. I ended up sanding them, as well. : /
love this!!!!
wouldnt it damage the watercolours to take them out of the tubes? if not then i can try it for sure
Watercolors are basically immortal......when they dry up they are still functional and that is exactly how many palletes are made....they put in wet watercolros (aka out of the tubes basically) and then wait for them to dry/harden....Thats basically how I saved a ton of money on my tubed watercolors because I just kept reusing the dry ones, lol
Are they acrylic paints?
These are tube watercolors and only watercolor or maybe gouache would work for this, not acrylic
Thank you so much, one other question. Where can you find them?
you can find them at most arts/crafts stores but here's a link to a brand I used when I was first starting amzn.to/2L4tMPX
If you spray some water over the cracked goauche it should repair the crack.
Brilliant ! ❤
What did u do for the paint cracking?
Its a great idea i gotta try it out!
Tag me on social media if you post a photo @jennifercharlee ^_^
this is really neat! I've been wanting to do my own travel pallet for a long time! never thought to use eye shadow like this...genius...and the hot glue! MIND BLOWN! Great Video!
+MissMelisArt thanks! Let me know if you make one! :D
I saw someone make one with a mint tin and some tiny half pan colors....and i have a few cute disney mint tins so i might combine your idea with that one eventually :D!
+MissMelisArt awesome idea! I've been hoarding a mini altoid tin I want to eventually use as a limited color palette :D
you should! you work with a lot of pastels! you'd probably benefit from a mini pastel pallet for sure!
what paint should i use?
is acrylic good? because that is all i got right now
Jeanious Crafts this really only works for watercolor paints since acrylic with dry and can't be reactivated with water.
Honey help keep paint like gauche and water color from cracking
So many gd ideas, thanks for sharing x
Thanks! Hopefully it's helpful!
I'm so going to do this
Well, will dry the colors?
