Hey sweet Keiko. Unless yours were different than mine, you don’t need to cut the plastic casing. Just force it a bit and it will open I’m the middle. And I made them much more concentrated...Put them in 30 ml bottles. I just dilute the inks directly on my substrates.

Hello my dear. Thank you for your comment! I tried to open them but mine were stubborn LOL. I also wanted to make sure people have an x-acto ready in case they use different markers. You're inspiring me to make a "part 2" of this video or a new version with your suggestions :-)

You’re adorable ☺️ I guess I was lucky mine weren’t as stubborn ☺️ I found it was all in the angle used to open them up 😁

I will definitely give it another try! Thank you!

Yay, thank you Keiko. I have several Sharpies that I don't use, and alcohol ink will be so useful!
