Paint Splatter

I search the web high & low to find a great technique to apply a paint splatter to my projects.  The brush technique is really messy.  The spray can drops were smelly.
While looking for a solution, walking through a Dollar Store; I saw a 4 oz baby bottle. The image of my children walking around the house with their bottle up-side down dripping came rushing through my mind.  I thought, "That should work!"

This was the first attempt with the "baby bottle technique"  I only applied one color.  I plan on adding more. 
I found a "Antique Copper"  METALLIC paint at Walmart.  I filled the bottle 1/2 way with water.  I added 5 GLASS BEADS for shaking.  (Plus the glass beads help with slowing down the flow from the nipple)   I poured almost all of the paint into the bottle.  You can adjust your recipe, I do not think it matters very much.
