OK, I admit it. I'm addicted to alcohol inks. They are so fun to play with! I recently made some Hand-Stamped Tile Coasters (see previous post) using alcohol inks and fell in love with them! Because they worked so well on the tumbled marble, I wanted to see how they would work on glass.
The first chance I had, I went to the Dollar Store by my house and bought a pretty, glass vase for $1.00. You can't beat that price!
Once I got home, I looked at the different colors of alcohol inks I had and wanted to grab some of the colors that would go well with the decor in my living room, which happen to be earth tones. I finally decided on caramel, cranberry and butterscotch.
I liberally coated my applicator with the ink and then proceeded to dab the ink onto the vase in a random pattern. I repeated this process with each color until the vase was completely covered.
I really liked how the vase turned out and was playing around with it, trying to find the perfect flowers to go in it when I had an epiphany. About two months ago, I attended a candle party and bought some tealight candles. I took one of the tealights and put into the base of the base and wouldn't you know it... My pretty little vase turned into a beautiful candle holder!
