DIY Alcohol Ink

[@Naplesfrank154]

Hello Leslie, after watching your video I made my ink by just placing the ink cartridge directly into the spray bottle. I didn’t cut the plastic to open the ink cotton up, I just gave it a good shake every hour or so for a couple of days and my results were exactly like yours but without the mess. I didn’t make a video but I guess I can shoot some photos to show you the outcome. When I post the photos I will tag you in my photo video.

[@estellanaugle3135]

that was my thought as its messy, but also is it cost effective with putting all the colors in the cups and all the steps ?

[@denisegonzalez452]

And you saved a bit more paint to. Less on gloves

[@daciasdiy1861]

Is this really saving money ? How much ate alcohol inks ?

[@daciasdiy1861]

Sharpies are expensive most expensive alcohol ink that ive seen cost 12 for $ 30 does thos cost less or do you get more ?

[@penelopepennington3838]

8years later and THANK YOU‼️🙏

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

You’re welcome!!

[@estellanaugle3135]

i had a thought! About adding a touch if the color to the label so you also see the color sample because the name doesnt always sound or look like the name. Theres so many variations to color. And it be easier than looking at a color chart if you make that instead!

[@louisesouza6627]

Very nice. Really.like the colors

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

Thanks for watching!!

[@KelRawson]

Yeah! Watched this video several times. Made 20 inks out of Sharpies and they are perfect!!!!! Thank you for this tutorial!!!!!!!

[@KelRawson]

I just put the marker ink parts right in the bottle and added the alcohol. It was easier that way for me. Totally worked for me. Also got my spray bottles on ebay. 20 bottles for $9. LOVE LOVE LOVE MY INKS!

[@CrystalsArtClasses]

Amazing 👏!!!!!

[@michaelgreenholz8073]

Thank You, Im a Model Railroader. We use the inks for weathering scenery and models. Weathering inks are costly and this system should real help in aspect of the hobby thanks again.

I love how you did this. I would like to see you use the inks that you have made onto a resin project in order to see the effects.

I will try to get to it as soon as i am able.... house for sale, and downsizing the house since the kids have all grown up!!

[@fillimenabourassa8419]

Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I so wanted to do some projects using alcohol ink but funds have been a bit short. Had all the tools required and a set of sharpie markers. All I needed was the alcohol. Used 90%, 91% not available locally. Deviated from your tutorial a bit... Soaked the sharpie pieces in 1oz of alcohol squeezed out excess, then soaked again in another 1oz of alcohol to get every bit of color from the sharpie. There looked to be a bit more color left to get So... I Soaked the pieces again in 1oz alcohol for a pastel version of the color. Had a bunch of plastic dropper bottles I had cleaned and saved from my eye drop prescription, that I was going to use for another project. Labeled the bottles and was good to go, make sure you put a piece of transparent tape over the lettering (if not the lettering will be gone by the second use.

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

Great idea about putting the tape over the lettering!! I used a label maker and haven't had any trouble with the lettering, but better safe than sorry!! Thanks for watching! Always, Leslie

at first i thought this was not worth the effort, but then i remembered how ridiculously expensive they were last time i went to the hobby store. thank you for showing this.

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

Thanks! I would highly suggest using the least expensive alcohol you can find and you can always get really cheap permanent markers at the dollar store. I used sharpies only because I got a great deal on them during a back to school sale. With the holidays coming up, keep your eyes open for deals on permanent markers!!

Thanks, I left the cartridges in the alcohol. Big mistake! Fibres settled at the bottom. Had to pour it through a fine sieve to eradicate them. This was great 👏👏👏

[@jvallas]

Mariette WILTSHIRE-BUTLER This makes me think you might be on to a time saver. If you just throw the cartridges in, then when putting the liquid in the bottles, use cheesecloth or whatever works for filtering, that seems a slight time saver.

[@debbiethomas3687]

Great video, what an eye-opener! I've been wanting to try alcohol inks for a while but been put off by the cost - I couldn't justify it in case it became yet another thing in my craft stash that I might not get to use for lack of space. I have a big container of rubbing alcohol though, and if I buy some Sharpie pens I can have a go at a sensible price. Brilliant. Thank you!

[@IzzyRocks2]

Is rubbing alcohol 91 percent? I was thinking it was much less.

Wow this is so cool. Your granddaughter and my daughter both have the same favourite colour. My girl has loved neon green or any light coloured green she can get her hands on

[@dondihall2212]

you can get permanent markers at some dollar stores they are about $2 for 10-12 markers in a pack. Store bought alcohol inks cost about $12 for 3 - 10z bottles with 3 colors. So this is cheaper even if you bought Sharpies because you are getting 2oz and 12 colors that would cost about $50 to just buy the inks.

[@staceyvickery6142]

I usually let the alcohol and sharpie soak for 24 hrs.

[@staceyvickery6142]

You have a more breakdown on the steps you use. The only thing I do that you don't is strain the ink. I test my colors on a piece of white ceramic tile.

Why not just soak the cartridges in the spray bottle? You won't lose anything to evaporation, you don't have to pour from bottle to bottle and you can use a hemostat to take them out, if you even do. Thanks for all the information! Great vid.

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

the fibers from the cartridge clog the spray nozzle if left in!! found that out the hard way ;) !! thanks for watching!!

[@catherinetodd]

If you did not cut the cartridge, and just let the ink naturally seep out, then you wouldn't have a problem with fibers, would you? I saw another video where this suggestion was made without any problems being mentioned.

[@afoust781]

Here's what I have Discovered, If You use the method above and cut your cartridges open you actually do get a deeper color (closest to the cap) in less time. I have used all the different videos but this one by far gets me the darker colors in less time. Great Video as Well I agree! :)

[@sharon94503]

I don't believe the sharpie parts are recyclable...shame they will sit in a landfill for 100 years or more. Pretty though.

[@suevans9442]

You had quite a bit of ink on your gloves, etc. Why not wipe with, say, rice paper or dry tumble-drier sheets and dab onto plain card or paper as you go. Then you get some free background papers. Not tried it but is just a frugal thought. I’m going to try this process you’ve shared. Should save me many pounds! That gets my vote. Well done and thanks.

Great tips but you really don't need to handle the sharpie ink so much. Your wasting ink doing so. The alcohol will penetrate during soaking and get all the goodness out. Great video!

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

Great idea! Thanks for watching!

[@bluecatblu76]

Would it be easier just cutting the inside of the sharpie and putting it in the bottle instead of the cup? Just wondering the benefit.

[@cherylalikhani5957]

You could keep several pens soaking at a time and siphon off the clean alcohol for spray bottles and use the fuzzy alcohol for eye droppers and pipettes for using with lips, soda straws, boba straws, coffee stirrers, hair dryers, mattress blowers, air pumps, personal fans, canned air, etc. The colored coffee filters could be used for something too, I personally would roll a bunch of them them up in giant white tshirts (that have been washed and dried to remove the newly bought yuckies), give them a nice bath in some hot water, then let them soak overnight. No clue what patterns would come out but can imagine they would be interesting.

[@changingmyself]

Why not just put the ink inserts right in the little spray bottle? Then to refill, just open up a new marker, pop it in the bottle and pour some more alcohol in.

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

That's a great idea, but the downside to that is that sometimes the fibers from inside the ink cartridge can clog the spray tube!! And we all HATE clogged spray tubes lol!! Thanks for sharing your idea and thanks for watching!! Always, Leslie

[@estherrenee55]

Compare the cost of the bottle to the time and effort involved the other way, I'm with changingmyself :)

Hello, Thanks for your video it's very useful! Big question for you: I live in Europe, in an area where you can't buy spray inks. I'm trying to make my own, but they don't produce Isopropyl Alcohol, they use only Ethyl Alcohol for medical purposes. So would Ethyl Alcohol work for these or would Vodka be better, since it evaporates fast and leaves pigment behind on the surface used?

Do you think that I could use tie dye inks? Is it the same or similar to alcohol inks? I'm asking bc the kids have tie dye inks...

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

From what I have researched, tie dye ink consists of paint. Alcohol inks are made from a permanent pigment ink. Tie dye inks will move and react when they get wet (hence pink undershirts in the wash :) ) But alcohol inks are permanent because the ink used is a permanent ink. So, after all that..... You could use tie dye inks if that's what you have on hand, but it will not be permanent (you could spray a sealant on it, but even then, no promises) . I would suggest that you play with it and what it does.

Abraham Valdez Some use India ink to paint with, but no, you can't use alcohol ink for tattoos. Alcohol ink is highly toxic and not meant for in or around skin. I wear gloves when painting with it.

Made alcohol inks with the sharpies over 6 years ago but never used them till today and they were still perfect. Just stored them in old pill bottles and surprisingly they were not dried up. I have the Rangers alcohol inks and tried my diy with the Rangers and preferred my diy cause they’re cheaper!
