Unicorn Spit Project Ideas and Inspiration

January 29, 2016 by Bethany Sy

As I look back over the past few years as a homeowner and blogger, I’ve noticed that each year it seems like my creative focus as been a different subject. This past year, it seems like it’s been my ‘Shading with Stain’ technique (using oil based stains and Unicorn Spit). The year before that it was Painting Backsplashes. The year before that it was the twins’ new room. And the year before that, it was our furniture makeovers.

I can already feel myself coming down from my Shading with Stain kick, but I still dabble in it just because I enjoy it so much and it keeps my creative juices flowing!.

Use Wood Stain to create Gorgeous Art! {Reality Daydream}

*this post contains affiliate links*

I stained this wooden wall art for my friend Dana (she loves moose …or is it mooses? Meese?) and I had been wanting to try a landscape-y design instead of my typical flower choices. And since she’s a friend, I knew she would love it even if it wasn’t THE best thing she’d ever seen.

Since I’m not really doing a tutorial (it just takes practice! And this beginners tutorial!), I was hesitant to share pics of this one… because I didn’t want to feel like I was just showing it off. But I am pretty proud of how it turned out. Plus, I wanted to show you how adding the white Unicorn Spit stain as a ‘highlight’ effect makes SUCH a difference. Those bright areas just make the whole thing come to life. (the brown ‘base’ stain is this stuff)

Those mountains got a little treacherous, and there were moments when I was pretty sure this one was going in the burn pile. But when I stood back and looked at it, I could really see it coming together! The white Unicorn spit totally MADE this piece.

Using wood stain and Unicorn Spit to create legit artwork!

And, to make this post more than just me bragging… I thought it would be fun to share some other projects done with Unicorn Spit from some other talented artists and creative entrepreneurs! This stuff is just so versatile, comes is so many gorgeous colors, and you can apply it in so many different ways… to so many different things!

Aren’t those pieces so fun and inspiring?! You can use it as a stain, glaze (where it just stays in the cracks and crevices of the furniture… I have a tutorial here), or even just paint with it! Sometimes I let the girls get their art on and create some masterpieces with this magic potion. I love that it’s water-based and non toxic so I can work with it in the house and without a mask. And, GET THIS… it smells like jasmine!

      You can use any oil-based polyurethane/varnish! I’m thinking that Rustoleum only has water-based, but Minwax has oil-based and their quart cans are super affordable!

    This is AWESOME! I was talking to one of my teacher buddies about it, because he designs custom longboards. We were talking about a piece that he did that he wasn’t happy with because he prefers stain, but his friend wanted part of the board to be blue. I asked him if he has heard of Unicorn Spit, and he had NO IDEA! It was glorious passing on this beautiful knowledge to someone. 🙂

After viewing some of the stain techniques, I know that a bench is just crying out for a subtle, muti-colored application. The roll top desk may need to have a vibrant look on the roll out. If I don’t win, no big deal, because this is on my list of “NEEDS” for my spring projects!
