use a scarf material like a fine gorgette or ciffon. i used to use an
old coined belly dancing scarf that had seen better days. folded it
so i had it three layers and then put henna and marbles in to shake
it. comes out sooooo fine that i have never had problems with any
clogs in a fine, #5, tip. good luck, jennifer

: Many people have been successful creating their own sifter. The
: important thing is get fine nylon netting. Hosiery seems to
stretch

the
: netting over it. Put a rubber band around the edge to hold the
: netting in place. Pour some henna powder on top and add a marble.
: Snap the lid onto the plastic tub and start shaking and tapping
it.
: I have an empty plastic ice cream container that works well for me.
