{Mini Tutorial On How To Make Your Own Alcohol Inks}

 

 

Here Is How:

• Powder Rit dye
• Isopropyl alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) the higher % kind
• Liquid Rit fabric dye
• jars
• ink applicator

• Empty a package of Rit powdered dye into a small empty lidded jar.
• Now fill the rest of the jar with rubbing alcohol, place the lid on the jar and shake it up very well, trying to make sure the Rit powder has dissolved as much as possible.

OR:

• For a less grainy mixture with liquid Rit dye and isopropyl alcohol instead. Mix  ½ cup of isopropyl alcohol to two teaspoons of Rit dye. The more dye you add the deeper the color will be. However, a little bit of this dye will go a long way.
• Again, be sure and shake well, ensuring that the two liquids mix completely before use.
• Now apply the ink with your favorite applicator.

Note: Before you do your stamping on your original project do a few practice runs on a piece of scrap paper to see how much or little of your home made ink you will need.

Thanx for having a looksee =)
