Did You Know? October 2025 Edition: Custom Watercolor Pens

Hello crafters, it’s Shari Carroll here with you! I have a new edition of our popular Did You Know series today!

I thought I’d try something a little different. Did you know you can make your own watercolor aqua pens using Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains and Distress re-inkers?

Not only will they match your Distress ink pads, but they’re perfect for times where it’s impossible to paint a whole piece in one sitting. They’re always ready to go!

I’ve created a video to show how easy it is to customize your water brush pens below. Enjoy!
