Mops

Other then fish and peace signs....what else can you do with them? Looking for ideas.

Soccer balls, suns, moons, spots, scales, polka dots, basketballs, baseballs, golf balls, balls, coins, beads, pearls....

I do a tropical sunset with those multi cakethings from silly farm. Palm trees and such contained in a circle.

I like it! Thanks ladies!!

I used a little one for the eyes on my sesame characters....here's a soccer ball too.

I'll use the mop for the base on a princess crown. I'll only lay down 1/2 the paint so you have 1/2 circles above the brow. I'll also use mops to make necklaces or tiaras(smaller ones for the chain & larger ones for the pendants).

I used one for my ladybug.

Picture Psalm!!!! I am so intrigued!

Great Big Bird! WOW!

Sure Metina!
It's on a practice head, so not so great

Double load a mop & gently press circles across the forehead above the brow line. I like to put 2 circles on top of each other for the center.


Then do tear drops, swirls, etc around the circles.
(again, be forgiving this is on a stinky practice head )


After this, you can bling it out w/ glitter, use a darker color around the edge, etc.

This is the necklace. Imagine it's just below the neck on the chest.
I double loaded the mop w/ red & yellow. Then I ran the red edge through black & the yellow edge through white(high lighting & low lighting). Press the mop on & do a slight twist so the dark stays on the bottom & the light stays on the top. I used a smaller mop for the chain & a larger mop for the pendant. You could even use a smaller mop on the outer edge for a smaller to larger effect.

Hey guys, this might sound funny but what is a mop???? can someone put a pic up please i feel like a dag for asking but ive never heard of one.

It's a stick w/ a round sponge on the end. You can find them in packets at the craft store.

Oh fantastic, thankyou...i want one of these but had no idea they were called mops can you tell im a newbie lol

Hehe, I never knew what they were before now
Awesome designs, I think I may need to invest.

Hey Linda I do almost the exact same thing only i use a smaller mops with a mix of wolfe metallic white and wolfe white with the edges a light blue and a light snaz sparkle pin on top.... comes out looking like pearls ...i do that alot on the forehead when its birthday princess parties etc. Mixing between jewels and pearls. I will even do the moms neck if she wants a "strand of pearls" it always seems to please....every lil girl even the big girls love pearls.
