Bringing your Crafts To The Kitchen

Hi everyone. This is Jamie, here to bring you a new way to get more out of your Alcohol Inks and those old Mason Jars in the cupboard. You know we all have the jars stashed away "Hoping" to make some jam , or canned peaches. LOL



Materials you'll need are:
Mason Jars
Various Alcohol Inks (Ranger Inks)
Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Applicator
Can of Compressed Air
Clear Spray Paint
And various trims and tags



1. To start apply three to five drops of alcohol ink on the applicator. You'll need more of course for a larger surface. Dab the color onto the glass.

Color-Meadow

2. Once your first layer dries, add a contrasting color. I added it on this jar to look like leaves. Color-Bottle

3. Next take a coupe of drops of a alcohol ink and drip it onto the glass. With the can of Air blow the ink into different directions. If you don't have a can of air you can blow it yourself. On this design it gives the look of branches.

4. After you are done applying your colors spray the glass with a clear lacquer. This will seal the Alcohol ink to the glass.
5. Add embellishments as desired.

Tips and Tricks:
You need to work in a quicker fashion when working with alcohol inks. They dry quickly . If it does dry you can add mixative to it to liquefy it.
If you want more of a marbled look. drip the alcohol ink directly onto the glass.
If you have a large surface, drip the alcohol on the glass and then spread/dab it with the applicator.
You can leave the glass unsealed, that way you can change your look as often as you like.

They make beautiful candle holders as well.
