Wow! Fabulous! Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!

Yesssss Beautiful so glad to know I can now make my own Coasters instead of paying high prices

OMG another craft in my repertoire! I think I want to make these as Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing!

I can't wait to try this. I love alcohol ink!

Fun! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Love this tutorial thankyou

Beautiful x

Very pretty and fast.

Nice

This is so beautiful Kendall, I’m definitely trying this for my next project 😍

Hey, what's the name of the sealant you use? Great video!

I love these and am going to try making some as an addition to my other things to sell at upcoming craft shows. What do people do with painted tiles besides making them coasters?

The alcohol inks are good, I have some. It's something like 3.50 or 4 dollars for a small bottle though. You can definitely dilute it with some 91% rubbing alcohol which is great but it would be cool if I could get a nice big economic bottle

Very nice, can isopropyl alcohol be used instead of the blending alcohol?

Hi new subscriber here. Your works are inspiring. How do you call that hair dryer that you’re using? 🤩 I’m planning to buy one to practice ink art.♥️

Are these tiles glazed prior to using alcohol inks

Is blending solution and alcohol TGE same thing? Sorry just starting with paints.

Sorry when using the spray will it hold up to using it as a coaster nothing will stick to the tile.thanks Terri

How do you make sure you edges are clean and polished looking. I have been struggling with it

What is the chemical you have in the glass if it is some thing rubbing alcohol and resin mix then what is the ratio of those both... Can we use normal alcohol in it?

This might be my first project to try out with these #breareese2020

was the tile dry when u started?

Brilliant 👏........ two questions....what do you use to seal the ink and using tiles is a good idea but they have a rather rough underside which could scratch your furniture.....do you back them with felt or similar 🤔.....looking forward to hearing from you soon....J🧚‍♀️

If you’re still wondering, let your piece fully cure (24 hours) then you apply Kamar varnish (it’s a fixative, so the ink doesn’t move) in a few light coats, letting each coat dry (it dries fast), then spray with a UV-resistant clear coat (alcohol inks fade over time, Krylon makes a good one). Then you have some choices - if you’re going to put hot drinks on them, use a clear acrylic enamel spray or a clear heat resistant spray sealer (Rust-Oleum makes a hi-heat automotive engine enamel that works well). If temperature isn’t an issue, I use Krylon triple thick glaze. If you want your piece to be dishwasher safe, use Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe (it takes a whopping 28 days to fully cure though). As far as the back of the tile goes, I use cork or felt. There’s plenty of other options, this is just what I do. I hope this helps 😊

What do you use as a sealant?

Do they remain as it is after wash?

Beautiful! How do you finish the back? And what do you use to finish the front? Do you have a video on that?

Are you using glossy or matte tiles?

Hello which surfaces will be best to try this? Where can I get them in India?

I've made coasters and sealed them. Later the paint/sealer developed cracks. What did I do wrong?

Can’t wait to try this .. on what other surface can these inks be used on ? Am just starting out with these inks m...

Any non porous surface works well (glass, ceramics, craft vellum, metal, yupo paper). Alcohol inks can also be used on paper, gesso prepped canvases and even fabrics.

Would you be able to put hot/cold drinks on them after coating with the Krylon products?

What resin do you use?

What is the “blending solution?” I’ve made these before at a party & didn’t use any solution- just the ink & got the same result.

May I ask what name of that tiny dryer is please

What type of surface can be used?

They are beautiful the only thing I never understood is how can you use them for drinks they are sleek and the water will just go on your table?

Depending on the type of coating, these coasters may be best for drinks without much condensation.

How do you seal the coasters?

Questions: do these inks come in a set instead of a single item for $11? And if not can I use another type of alcohol ink brand? Amazon has a ton. What size are the tiles that you’re using and where do you get them from? Lastly after they dry and you seal them I know with my alcohol inks when I use my bottles I use acrylic clear so would that work as well or do they have to be sealed with some type of acrylic? Ty so much beautiful work♥️♥️

In case you’re still wondering, inks definitely come in sets. Personally, I think $11 is really too high. I use several different brands - use what works best for you! I get my tiles from Lowe’s. 18 cents per tile for 4”x4” tiles! Whatever you do to them after the ink - use Krylon Kamar Varnish first! It’s a great fixative!

Beautiful where do you buy those heat guns thanks

What type of blending solution

How did you seal these. Were they slippery. I was afraid they would be too slippery to set a glass on.

@BreaReeseArt

We recommend using Krylon Kamar Varnish and Krylon UV-Resistant Clear to seal your alcohol ink art. You could also use dishwasher-safe Mod Podge or a coat of resin. If you use resin, you can buff the resin with sandpaper for a non-slippery matte effect.

Did the dropper have just the 91% alcohol in it?

I noticed you didnt wear a respirator with this tutorial, is one not needed for this type of ink plz?

How to water proof them

I just tried to do this following ur video and the ink wouldn’t move around ☹️ I was working fast. Any idea on what I did wrong? Thanks for any help!

Can I bake my tiles after the alcohol ink has dried? I'm not sure if the colors will run when I coat my tiles with resin. Thanks

We haven't tried baking tiles with alcohol ink on them, so we can't recommend it. Resin should not cause your ink to run, but you can seal your art with spray Krylon Kamar Varnish first if you want to make sure.

@SavageCharms

If you’re still wondering, it could be oils from your hands. Did you wipe the tiles with either rubbing alcohol or blending solution before you started?

What a great tutorial! Alcohol inks is one thing I haven’t tried yet - one day!! #breareese2020 (@acalculatedmess)

I just sealed 4 coasters with Piñata varnish and it totally ruined them. I’m so disappointed.

Can't hear you my volume is all the way up

Sorry! You are talking to yourself. Your AUDIO Is not very clear. 🤔🤔☹☹

I bought some tiles and tried this and the color totally went away. Did I use the wrong kind of tile? Also, if you were to hold the heat gun up to it until it was completely dry, would your color pretty much disappear? I tried doing this on yupo paper and my super vibrant pink essentially disappeared when I put the heat gun on it but I thought I was supposed to completely dry it? Please help!

Do you really need to wait to put resin on it? I thought you could pretty much put resin on as soon as it dries?
