thecandlespastore Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Changed my labels for my bottles, using clear labels with Krylon sprayed to make them waterproof, that really does work! I have also been doing a few limited edition Swarovski crystallized perfume bottles. Each one is one of a kind. I only do these late at night after the kiddies are in bed, otherwise I would have tiny crystals everywhere! I have been making these now for a few years, love this kind of art.

cbv1 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very nice! Very professional looking and the crystals are a very unusual touch. You are very artistic! Do you use a laser printer for your labels? My labels need work but I only have an ink jet printer. I may need to invest in a laser printer at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very nice. The crystals give the perfumes a nice touch!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I've got a question. Which kind of Krylon do you use? And where do you get it? And how do you use it...do you just spray it on, without worrying where it gets? I really prefer clear labels and would like to make them waterproof somehow.Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very nicely done. I really like the pumps on your bottles too. Would you mind sharing where you get them? ThanksNancyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thank you so much for taking a look!1. I use an inkjet printer, I would love a laser printer but for now I just stick to fonts that print clean with my inkjet.2. The Krylon I use is called RUST-OLEUM LACQUER High Lustre Coating, I got it at Home Depot. What I do is take 2 pieces of paper, cover the label so that the only part that is exposed is the label(s) I want to spray, do a quick push of the trigger and thats it. It dries in 15 minutes, and you cant smell it on the label either. Its pretty hardcore too.3. I got the pumps at Scent Works:DI think they are called Laguna pumps.

thecandlespastore Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 I have a dumb questions. Do you spray the labels before you put them on the container or do you spray them after you put them on the container?Before, while they are still on the label sheet. I wait 30 minutes to make sure they are dry, otherwise fingerprints will be on the label.PS, thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to try this so I can waterproof all my labels! Thank you for sharing this information, I really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
