What a great idea! Thank you for sharing. This is 100p not criticism.❤ I just wanted to add that it may be easier to see the project if the surface area you're working on was a solid color. These eyes aren't what they used to be. 😅
When I used to do craft shows, those chuck it pieces were some of the most liked, go figure right? I've also learned not all the things I thought were good were well received, who knew? They're all beautiful!
What an easy fun project. You could change to colors for the seasons. How much paint vs floetrol and water do you use in your mixture? Thanks for another great idea. So would you use just Mod Podge or the paint/floetrol/water?
Great idea! When I mix my paints with Floetrol, I normally mix 1 part paint to 4 parts Floetrol, and enough water so it flows like warm honey. The water depends on the thickness of the paint, though. A heavy body paint needs more water.
Alcohol ink will always rehydrate when another color is introduced. That’s why you have to seal it. Don’t beat yourself up. That’s how we learn. No risks. No rewards. Did you wait for the glitter ones to dry? I thought sure they’d be better then.
A straw works better with the compressed air. Please let your ink dry more, they don't dry as fast as you think. When you put the paint in, its muddying up you ink because its still wet. Word of advice, let your ornaments dry completely before hanging on a tree. Experience lol, my paint after a few days was not completely dry and the paint puddled at the bottom. So aggrivating.
It’s not a drop,cloth. This is an old canvas that I’ve used for several different ornament painting projects. It allows me to catch the drips from paint, glues, resin and other things, and hopefully make a cool drip painting.

Neither are mine, lol. Thank you for that feedback, because it helps me see what my viewers see. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for showing that alcohol inks work inside of acrylic ornaments. Just the info I was looking for!
Give it a try!
Acrylic clear paint. Mix in gitter in the clear acrylic. Try that
Thanks for the tip!

So true! Maybe I should have a chuck it bucket sale, lol.

I loved this…absolutely stunning! Just curious, if you were to sell them at a craft fair, what do you think you’d charge per ornament?
$5 each. It’s a good price point in my market.
@@ACoastalMagnolia That's way underpriced. They would be $15/$20
Many paint and varnish sprays have solvents that will reactivate alcohol ink.
Yes, that’s a great point!
What are you blowing in it?
Compressed air

Sometimes these little hiccups lead to surprising discoveries! I did dry the glitter ones, but not a fan…
What is the ratio of paint and flotarlo?
1 part paint, 4 parts Floetrol
I noticed that last several videos the volume levels make it really hard to hear your voice. Love your videos...keep going!!
oh no! sorry about that. Thanks for continuing to watch though!
Ok compressed air Ty
It didn’t work as well as I hoped. a straw worked better.

Thanks for the tip! I lost the straw and thought it would still work. It didn’t!
Your drop cloth is distracting.
