Get Crafty With Alcohol Ink Tiles

By Amy Green


It is nice to relax with an art project, and it is even better when you can combine that with quality time with friends or family members. While a lot of people are not classically trained painters or natural born artists, there are plenty of arts and crafts activities that anyone can do. Alcohol ink tiles are a very popular choice.

Some of the main things that are needed for this type of a project include tile coasters, inks in the desired colors, paint, spray sealers, and brushes. These are all not very expensive to buy, so this can be a project that stays within a reasonable budget. However, it is always possible to get the very best inks and other supplies if the project being made is intended to be of superior quality.

When it comes to the many occasions when it is socially expected to give gifts, a lot of people tend to turn to the various stores and businesses that are intent on selling them their products. However, one might find that their special someone loves a gift all the better when it comes from the heart and is made with their own two hands. A tile like this makes the perfect gift.

Wax paper is usually the recommended material to use as a protective surface when doing this type of painting. Especially if you are indoors and painting with little kids, there is always a risk of leaving stains on the carpet, walls, table, and whatever else the kids can get their hands on. Using a disposable material as a spill canvas can prevent catastrophe.

Everyone who has ever painted something in school or elsewhere has probably had the unfortunate experience of a hair or small bug becoming stuck in their paint. This is something that can be avoided in this case by making sure the tile is nice and clean before proceeding. An alcoholic solution works well for this.

Unlike painting, this art form is more of a process of dropping inks onto an alcohol-coated surface, something that is a little different. People who are more familiar with more traditional forms of painting might find this a little hard to get used to at first. Those who have a background in watercolors might find it more relatable.

Those who have more of a slow and steady pace to art might have a difficult time with dropping colors in at first. Because of the liquids involved, the colors have a tendency to wander from where the artist intended them to go. This can make the end result very beautiful, but it can sometimes make it hard to create what you see in your head.

It is very important to have everything placed and ready to go before getting started. Once the project begins, there will be no time to fumble around and look for that one special color that you need. Carefully setting out all the inks that will be used in the order they are needed in is most helpful.
