Project Ideas: Ink Blotting

If you are a fan of alcohol ink you are going to love the projects I have to share with you today! 

I know it is easy to be intimated by alcohol inks (I was totally scared of them myself) but once you see how easy they are I promise you are going to be looking for things to ink next.  For these particular projects the process is even easier because we didn't even blend the inks - we just added the colors that we chose to the pieces and let the ink combine and then dry in the way it was added.

You can find specific project supplies and instructions by clicking on the project title below. You can also find a video showing how we completed a alcohol ink project (with blending) by clicking HERE.

25 Days of Christmas 2012 - Day 13

Day 13: White Plates

If you have or work with young children, today I have a project idea you are going to love! Not only would this make a great keepsake project, it would also be a great gift idea for a grandparent, teacher, etc. Also if you are a teacher or group leader this would be a great holiday project to have the kids complete as a parent gift or even for themselves.

For both plates we used paint to create the hand or foot print, created the trunks with help from little fingers and then added the vinyl words, star embellishments, and the name/date once the paint was dry.
