Default Perfect Pearls//making my own glimmer spray

I have an almost empty bottle of Ranger's Perfect Pearls Mist, which has been discontinued. However, they still carry the Perfect Pearls powders. I wonder if there is a way to make my own mist. If I just put them in water, will it work? Or does it need a color with it?
My spray is in the color called Biscotti. I want something as light colored as possible. Reinkers, maybe?
Thanks!

I have used Perfect Pearls in water in a mini mister with a few drops of distress re-inker with good success.

I have used a homemade solution of Perfect Pearls by just putting about ¼ tsp of the pearls in a small atomizer or the original spray bottle and adding bottled water. Our water is very hard so I use bottled. It works fine. Sometimes after awhile the sprayer clogs. Wiping it with a damp cloth after every use seems to help. If there is also a bead in your bottle it helps mix it when you shake it up.

Yes it works, and you can create lots of variety by using the various colors of Perfect Pearls powders. Mix the powder in water, or into your existing colored sprays, or sprays you've created with reinkers + water. Start with small amounts of the Perfect Pearls as mentioned above. If your sprayer is the size of a Ranger Mini Mister, you won't need much as opposed to using a small sprayer from Bath & Body Works, etc. Go for it ... and enjoy!

Thanks, all! I read years ago that adding a little spritz of Perfect Pearls Biscotti adds a pretty finishing touch to pages, tags, ATCs etc. That's what I've been doing. Have not tried any of their other colors. Maybe I should, though!

I heard on some you tube video that the biscotti was the best color. Might have been Jennifer McGuire. I need to buy that one.

I have the colour called Perfect Pearl. Does the Biscotti give a better shimmer? (I mix my Perfect Pearl with water in a mini mister.)

I mix Perfect Pearls powder with cheap hairspray in a small mister bottle. I have had good results with this.
