How To Create An Aura Blast Design With Unicorn Spit #SPiTChallenge

You don't need an art degree or 20 years of experience to create wonderful one-of-a-kind works of art. All you need is Unicorn Spit!
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to create an Aura Blast design using this amazing new non-toxic rainbow gel stain/glaze. You can do this too!

Here's the before shot of a boring little bookcase I found for free on Craig's List. The shelves were missing, but I liked it.





I started by painting the fake wood with my new go-to color called The Gulf from Dixie Belle Paint. It sticks nicely to pressed wood with no prep work and has zero VOC's so I can paint in my kitchen. Here's one coat of The Gulf.





Once the paint dried, I was ready to start the Aura Blast design. The Unicorn Spit YouTube Channel has AWESOME video tutorials showing you exactly how to create a variety of looks with this product. This is how I create Michelle's signature Aura Blast design.
SUPPLIES:
Unicorn Spit (3 or 4 colors are best)
Syringe
Spray bottle with water
Paper towels/baby wipes (This is messy! That's part of the fun!)
Oil-based polyurethane and foam applicator





STEP 1: Choose your color pallet. This is the hardest part! I think you need at least 3 or 4 colors to layer on top of each other for the best results. You can always come back and layer even more colors later.
STEP 2: Load your first color into the syringe. I got mine at the pharmacy. (Look near the baby medicine.) Start drawing concentric circles onto your surface. Repeat with your other colors until your surface looks like a bulls-eye.





SPIT TIP: Your circles won't be perfect. That's OK! This isn't an engineering project. This is ART! Keep going. It will look good in the end. (Also, I use the same syringe for all colors. Just squirt what you don't use back into the jar and move onto the next color.)
Now comes the fun/messy part!
STEP 3: Lightly spray some water onto your hand so it glides across the surface smoothly.
STEP 4: Plop the side of your hand down right there in the center of your bullseye and drag your hand down in a straight line across all of the other colors along the way. This will blend the colors together as you go.























STEP 5: Repeat Step 4 starting at the center and fanning out like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Wipe your hand off and spray it with more water as needed.
Here's what my Aura Blast looked like at this point ...





I'm not done yet! To see more Spit Tips on how to blend the colors together and finish the project, please visit the All Things New Again Blog. The link to the full tutorial is posted below.
Here's my finished bookcase. I also added legs I had in my stash and had a glass shelf custom-cut for about $24.

















Unicorn Spit is really fun to play around with and it makes everything look like a wonderful, one-of-a-kind work of art!
