Gel Printing 101 With Stuff Around the House (No New Supplies!)--Super Easy Project for Beginners #4

Gel printing doesn’t have to mean a trip to the art store—or waiting for supplies to arrive in the mail. In this video, I’m sharing a series of easy gel printing projects using “stuff around the house” that you probably already own. The prints all have a terrific textured look, including one that looks like shattered glass! (Hint: Tissue paper mimics the look of broken glass.) This is all about mark making on your gel plate. These projects are perfect for complete beginners or anyone who wants a simple, low-pressure way to play and experiment. I use everyday items like a hair comb, hair clip, plastic wrap, crumpled paper, tissue paper, and even the textured bottom of a bottle to create interesting prints—no special tools required. I also share a few practical tips that can save you time and frustration, including: • Why you don’t need a hair dryer to dry your gel prints • How long it should take for prints to dry in your area (climate is the key!) • Why thoroughly drying your brayer after washing is so important (and how water droplets can dilute your paint on the next print) If you’ve been wanting to try gel printing but felt overwhelmed by supplies—or you just want something creative you can do right now—this video is a great place to start. ✨ Beginner-friendly | No shopping required | Simple, creative play If you enjoyed this video, be sure to subscribe for more gel printing tutorials, tips, and beginner projects. 👍 Don’t forget to LIKE the video if you find it helpful! 📕 FREE Gel Printing Supply List: https://jenna-mclean-art.mykajabi.com...
