I've heard of/seen alcohol ink at craft stores for years now, but I've never known how to use it, or what it's good for. Recently I decided to get some, look up some ideas and give it a go.
These would make awesome Christmas gifts, don't you think? Have you ever played with alcohol ink before? I'm just getting started but I love the results!

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

1
First lightly sand the top of your tiles. This will make the ink stick better.
Apply a generous amount of blending solution to your tile. You want to be able to cover the entire top surface. Use a paintbrush to spread it out.

Starting with your first color, Apply a few drops of alcohol ink to your tile. Note- the blending solution must still be wet so you have to work somewhat quickly.

There are different things you can do with the ink:
Apply it in drops, like shown in the tutorial.
Place a few drops onto the top edge and tilt the tile down so that the ink flows down.
Use different shades of the same color.
Apply only a few drops so that the white tile still shows.
