INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1. Prepare your surface area, Inks will stain, so make sure you’re working on something you don’t mind getting messy.
Step 2: Take your clean tile, pour a little blending solution onto the tile. Then add your first color.
Step 3: Working quickly, use a straw or hairdryer to blow ink around the tile surface, creating patterns as the ink dries. You can continue to lighten the inks by adding more blending solution as you blow air to move the inks.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 with your next colors. Pro Tip: remember your color wheel and use complementary colors to achieve the best blends.
Step 5: Keep going until you’re happy with the patterns. There is no wrong way to play with alcohol inks!
Step 6: Set somewhere out of reach of your cat who hates your artwork and wants to mess everything up, let dry for 24-48 hrs.
Step 7: Seal with protective spray once completely dry. "Kamar Varnish" is a good spray to seal alcohol ink, and "Duplicolor Clearcoat Acrylic Enamel" has been recommended for coasters in particular. (acrylicpouring...)
Step 8: Enjoy all the compliments your friends will give you on your rad new coasters.

OMG another craft in my repertoire! I think I want to make these as Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing!
Yesssss Beautiful so glad to know I can now make my own Coasters instead of paying high prices
Wow! Fabulous! Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!
Hey, what's the name of the sealant you use? Great video!
Fun! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I can't wait to try this. I love alcohol ink!
Very pretty and fast.
Love this tutorial thankyou
The alcohol inks are good, I have some. It's something like 3.50 or 4 dollars for a small bottle though. You can definitely dilute it with some 91% rubbing alcohol which is great but it would be cool if I could get a nice big economic bottle
This is so beautiful Kendall, I’m definitely trying this for my next project 😍
Brilliant 👏........ two questions....what do you use to seal the ink and using tiles is a good idea but they have a rather rough underside which could scratch your furniture.....do you back them with felt or similar 🤔.....looking forward to hearing from you soon....J🧚♀️
If you’re still wondering, let your piece fully cure (24 hours) then you apply Kamar varnish (it’s a fixative, so the ink doesn’t move) in a few light coats, letting each coat dry (it dries fast), then spray with a UV-resistant clear coat (alcohol inks fade over time, Krylon makes a good one). Then you have some choices - if you’re going to put hot drinks on them, use a clear acrylic enamel spray or a clear heat resistant spray sealer (Rust-Oleum makes a hi-heat automotive engine enamel that works well). If temperature isn’t an issue, I use Krylon triple thick glaze. If you want your piece to be dishwasher safe, use Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe (it takes a whopping 28 days to fully cure though).
As far as the back of the tile goes, I use cork or felt.
There’s plenty of other options, this is just what I do. I hope this helps 😊
I love these and am going to try making some as an addition to my other things to sell at upcoming craft shows. What do people do with painted tiles besides making them coasters?
Beautiful x
Is blending solution and alcohol TGE same thing? Sorry just starting with paints.
Are these tiles glazed prior to using alcohol inks
Nice
Hi new subscriber here. Your works are inspiring. How do you call that hair dryer that you’re using? 🤩 I’m planning to buy one to practice ink art.♥️
Very nice, can isopropyl alcohol be used instead of the blending alcohol?
When using the Kamar
I noticed you didnt wear a respirator with this tutorial, is one not needed for this type of ink plz?
How do you make sure you edges are clean and polished looking. I have been struggling with it
What is the “blending solution?” I’ve made these before at a party & didn’t use any solution- just the ink & got the same result.
Sorry when using the spray will it hold up to using it as a coaster nothing will stick to the tile.thanks Terri
May I ask what name of that tiny dryer is please
I've made coasters and sealed them. Later the paint/sealer developed cracks. What did I do wrong?
Beautiful! How do you finish the back? And what do you use to finish the front? Do you have a video on that?

Beautiful where do you buy those heat guns thanks
Heat guns can be purchased at any arts & crafts store, Amazon, or your local hardware store
was the tile dry when u started?
What is the chemical you have in the glass if it is some thing rubbing alcohol and resin mix then what is the ratio of those both... Can we use normal alcohol in it?
They are beautiful the only thing I never understood is how can you use them for drinks they are sleek and the water will just go on your table?
Depending on the type of coating, these coasters may be best for drinks without much condensation.
What kind of sealant
Questions:
do these inks come in a set instead of a single item for $11? And if not can I use another type of alcohol ink brand? Amazon has a ton.
What size are the tiles that you’re using and where do you get them from?
Lastly after they dry and you seal them I know with my alcohol inks when I use my bottles I use acrylic clear so would that work as well or do they have to be sealed with some type of acrylic? Ty so much beautiful work♥️♥️
In case you’re still wondering, inks definitely come in sets. Personally, I think $11 is really too high. I use several different brands - use what works best for you!
I get my tiles from Lowe’s. 18 cents per tile for 4”x4” tiles!
Whatever you do to them after the ink - use Krylon Kamar Varnish first! It’s a great fixative!
Did the dropper have just the 91% alcohol in it?
Would you be able to put hot/cold drinks on them after coating with the Krylon products?
We have heard reviews that "Duplicolor Clearcoat Acrylic Enamel" is the best spray sealant for hot/cold coasters. acrylicpouring.com/best-heat-resistant-sealant-for-tiles-and-coasters/
This might be my first project to try out with these #breareese2020
Hello which surfaces will be best to try this? Where can I get them in India?
can i do this without the blending solution? i have rubbing alcohol.
You can use isopropyl alcohol instead of the blending solution.
What type of blending solution
Do you really need to wait to put resin on it? I thought you could pretty much put resin on as soon as it dries?
Blending solution ?
What type of surface can be used?
Do they remain as it is after wash?
Are you using glossy or matte tiles?
I bought some tiles and tried this and the color totally went away. Did I use the wrong kind of tile? Also, if you were to hold the heat gun up to it until it was completely dry, would your color pretty much disappear? I tried doing this on yupo paper and my super vibrant pink essentially disappeared when I put the heat gun on it but I thought I was supposed to completely dry it? Please help!
Can i do dis on marble tile
What do you use as a sealant?
How do you seal the coasters?
I just tried to do this following ur video and the ink wouldn’t move around ☹️ I was working fast. Any idea on what I did wrong? Thanks for any help!
Hi Shannon, were you using Blending Solution? When you use Blending Solution mixed with the ink, it should move around easily. Thanks!
What resin do you use?
How to water proof them
How did you seal these. Were they slippery. I was afraid they would be too slippery to set a glass on.
We recommend using Krylon Kamar Varnish and Krylon UV-Resistant Clear to seal your alcohol ink art. You could also use dishwasher-safe Mod Podge or a coat of resin. If you use resin, you can buff the resin with sandpaper for a non-slippery matte effect.
What do you recommend for a sealant?
We recommend using Krylon Kamar Varnish and Krylon UV-Resistant Clear to seal your alcohol ink art.
@@BreaReeseArt are those sealants heat resistant?
@@cheryls2022 We have heard reviews that "Duplicolor Clearcoat Acrylic Enamel" is the best spray sealant for hot/cold coasters. acrylicpouring.com/best-heat-resistant-sealant-for-tiles-and-coasters/
Can I bake my tiles after the alcohol ink has dried? I'm not sure if the colors will run when I coat my tiles with resin. Thanks
We haven't tried baking tiles with alcohol ink on them, so we can't recommend it. Resin should not cause your ink to run, but you can seal your art with spray Krylon Kamar Varnish first if you want to make sure.
Resin will cause the inks to run, I have not figured out how to make them not run
@@reagan277 Have you tried Art Resin brand?
@@reagan277 Use Krylon Kamar Varnish before you apply resin. It’s an amazing fixative.
My inks are scratched out. Please tell me how to varnish it?
The most durable varnish would be a coat of resin, but you can also use Mod Podge to varnish your inks.
@@BreaReeseArt have you tried mod podge?
@@namrahwaseem7234 We haven't tested it in the office, but have had artists recommend Dishwasher Safe ModPodge to us.
Must try this!! 💕💕
#breareese2020
I just sealed 4 coasters with Piñata varnish and it totally ruined them. I’m so disappointed.
What heat gun do you use
The brand we use is "Creative" but you can find heat guns at your local hardware or craft store.
I am having a major issues with my tiles. They keep peeling after I use alchol inks. Please tell me why this would happen?
If you’re still wondering, it could be oils from your hands. Did you wipe the tiles with either rubbing alcohol or blending solution before you started?
Can't hear you my volume is all the way up
Sorry!
You are talking to yourself. Your AUDIO
Is not very clear. 🤔🤔☹☹

What a great tutorial! Alcohol inks is one thing I haven’t tried yet - one day!! #breareese2020 (@acalculatedmess)
Can’t wait to try this .. on what other surface can these inks be used on ? Am just starting out with these inks m...
Any non porous surface works well (glass, ceramics, craft vellum, metal, yupo paper). Alcohol inks can also be used on paper, gesso prepped canvases and even fabrics.
Do you need resin before laying on the alcohol ink?
