Do you love creating beautiful DIY home decor? In this video tutorial, I teach you how to design a beautiful vase using alcohol ink on glass and stencils. Imagine creating a wonderful glass vase design that will amaze and delight everyone, especially yourself! This is an easy project, but it does require drying time between the different layers and stencils. The great thing is that if you want to make changes to your design during the process, you can always clean the alcohol ink off the glass and start over.

IMPORTANT: When using alcohol inks, work in a well ventilated area and avoid skin contact. Breathing alcohol inks can be dangerous. Here is the safety data sheet for alcohol ink. I recommend you always wear gloves and a ventilator for safety. The manufacturer of the alcohol inks I used (Ranger) does not recommend filling any sprayer with Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Metallic Mixatives, Snow Cap Mixative, or Alcohol Ink Blending Solution as these contents contain alcohol and should not be airborne.
Alcohol inks are highly pigmented, alcohol-based inks that are great to use on any hard, non-porous surface like glass, but they also work well on metal, plastic, ceramic, stone, leather and polymer clay. Once the ink is on the surface, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the dye behind. And you can mix them in interesting ways, too!
So for this project, we'll use alcohol inks in a variety of colors -- I've used wild plum, stream, patina, citrus, amethyst, and flamingo. (I love those names!) I also recommend some alcohol ink metallic mixatives -- I am using the silver metallic mixative. You won't need much of these -- a little alcohol ink goes a long way.
And in order to get this gorgeous blended effect, you need an alcohol blending solution and some cosmetic wedges. I will show you how to use them all!
The hummingbird design you see here is a stencil. You can also put flowers or butterflies on. So for the stencil, you'll need some permanent vinyl and some transfer tape. You also need a way to cut it -- you can cut it on a Cricut cutting machine, or by hand with a craft knife.
Let me show you where to get my free alcohol ink stencil designs (hummingbird and butterfly) and then how to use them to create this stunning alcohol ink glass vase.

Great project. My only suggestion would be to use felt, rather than the sponges, to apply the alcohol inks, as the sponges absorb more ink than they apply. You might also want to try the new alcohol alloys rather than the mixatives for a stunning metallic leafing look. I love playing with my alcohol inks, but never thought to use a stencil.

Can this ink be used to make the stained glass windows as well?
@JenniferMaker
3 жыл бұрын
Yes, alcohol inks may be used on the stained glass project, also, Donna! I’ve done so with excellent results! Just know that they are harder to control. Make sure to burnish the vinyl really well so the inks can’t leak under. Also, any ink that gets on top of the vinyl will be visible and reduces the faux-lead effect. But if you have a steady hand you can carefully clean the vinyl with a q-tip moistened with Isopropyl alcohol at the end. 🥰

Is it possible for you to do a video just showing how you seal with the two type of finishes and explain why in detail? I've recently really gotten into alcohol ink projects, everyone talks about sealing, but most don't recommend products and talk about how they might interact with the ink. I've heard you must use matte, and Krylon Archival UV has been recommended although all the sites right now are sold out. I like what I've done and don't want to mess them up. Thank you.
