I wish to dabble in numerous artwork mediums and alcohol ink is my newest experiment. I’m delighted to share that I created these pretty trays for holding small objects. The dimensions I selected works nicely with jewellery however you could possibly additionally use these to corral magnificence merchandise.
I actually love the way in which alcohol ink spreads in an summary approach combining with neighboring inks to type new colours or will pool collectively to make eye catching swirls.
The provides for this challenge are easy, I used these white trays and acquired a couple of alcohol inks each on-line and at Michaels (that retailer has an awesome choice). You’ll additionally want a straw, some rubbing alcohol, paper towels, and clear coat protectant to seal the trays on the finish.
The drips of ink are simply unfold round by gently blowing on the ink with a straw.
With paper and alcohol ink, it’s important to settle for the place the ink goes however with ceramic or glass functions you may wipe away the ink if dissatisfied and begin over. I did this a number of occasions. Rubbing alcohol and a paper towel are all you’ll want to begin over with a brand new design.
I practiced totally different functions and located that dripping the ink all of sudden in single or double dots and mixing all on the identical time made for extra even swirls and patterns and gave me the look I used to be going for.
When you’re glad with a design, seal the floor of the trays with two coats of spray on clear coat, permitting to dry absolutely between coats. As soon as the floor is protected, the design will keep in place and gained’t wipe away.
Get pleasure from your new colourful trays to be used across the dwelling!
