Kate Creates DIY Alcohol Ink Coasters with Sharpie Markers

Make some fun and functional coasters. These are super easy and very inexpensive too. Use shades of similar colors for a subtle or muted look or try contrasting colors on the same side of the color wheel for something that pops! Let me know if you have any questions; happy crafting!

Hi Kate! Thanks so much for doing this tutorial... Can you pls tell me what music it was at 0:57? Really cool music for doing art! 😃 Thanks!

[@dswatik99]

how do you make it usable? I mean so a hot coffee cup dont stick to it and leaves rings?

[@KateCreates]

You can use a spray varnish after the mod Podge dries. I have had a couple that stick with cups if I leave them too long with just the mod Podge but it depends on how thick that layer is. I actually use these all the time still.

Hallo, mit was wird der Untersetzer versiegelt?

[@KateCreates]

Hallo! It's Mod Podge, which is like a decoupage sealer, but you can also use an aerosol sealant as well. I recommend the clear spray paint in either gloss or matte finish. Happy Crafting!

Does all permanent markers have oil based ink or are they different? I couldn't find sharpies here.. The permanent markers that I've been offered are oil based ink permanent markers.. I just want to get my doubts clear about this.. If I use those markers would that make any difference? . Please guide.

Bushii Raa that’s a great question! I’m not entirely sure. I have used both sharpie brand and BIC brand markers and they have both worked splendidly, so if you’re able to find those they should work for you too.
