Repurposing Glass Jars with Alcohol Inks
If you are a paper crafter there is a good chance you own a bottle or two of alcohol inks. This channel is dedicating the month of April to using those alcohol inks in a variety of fun and creative ways (home decor, card making, scrapbooking, paper crafting projects or art journaling to name a few). I hope this video helps you find something fun to do with your alcohol inks this month, too.
To start off the month I wanted to use my alcohol inks to repurpose some glass jars to hold crafting supplies on my craft table. I hope this video inspires you to repurpose a clear vase, jar, or anything else made of glass into a beautiful work of alcohol ink art!
This video is not intended for children. Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult when creating with craft supplies. I am NOT sponsored by (nor an affiliate of) any of the products you see in today's video. All of the products you see me use in this video I have purchased myself.

Happy Paper Crafting!

I love those Oui yogurt jars!!! My hubby would eat that yogurt just so I could have the jars 😊 I have a video on how to get the glue off. I have dozens of alcohol inks and this is a great project! I have never tried that technique with the plastic wrap....very cool! I really like the second one best....even before you added the dripping. I enjoyed watching this....didn't know you did this kind of stuff 😊💗🤗 Hugs....Janie

Thank you Janie, you are the sweetest. It seems like lately my channel has been “card heavy” because I’ve been participating in a lot of Giveaway Hops to provide my subscribers a chance to win prizes, however, I do have some projects on my video production schedule once again that will be crafts other than cards. I have some fun paper ornaments, art journal, and scrapbook ideas I want to share, too. I have alcohol ink jars scattered all over my house. They add such a sparkly pop of color, can be color customized and are useful for storing everything from cotton balls in the bathroom to dry erase markers next to the whiteboard. I appreciate you going back to some of my “old” videos, it makes me happy they are still relevant. Sending warm hugs, 🤗❤️🤗
Wow that turned out awesome. I like it. Glad you like your pokey tool 🤗 have a blessed beautiful day

What a neat idea to recycle and reuse, Rebecca!! Goo gone usually works for me to take the sticky off of my jars, from removing the labels! I reuse food jars to ferment foods in. That little jar reminds me of the Oui French style yogurt jars, I love those because they have a nice finished rim around the top!! I may have to pull out my alcohol inks and some old jars and give this a try!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh my goodness! You are right! That was a dairy-free Oui jar! I couldn’t remember where that one came from until I saw your comment. My hubby has some Goo Gone in the garage, I’ll have to try that next time (thank you for the good suggestion). It is a fun technique and no two jars come out the same… have fun!
Just beautiful! Time to pull out some glass jars from my garage. TFS 😊

Beautiful!!! I love alcohol inks. I bet to make the ink show up more you could pour white paint and swirl the inside of the jar. That would be pretty too. 🙂

Thanks Charlene, that is a great idea! If you do that method, send me a picture, I would love to see! I have one jar I did that I store cotton balls in, that shows up pretty.
Oh wow this is such a great idea. I love how they came out. I will definitely try this. I have so many jars. I love jars. Tfs❤

How well do the alcohol inks hold up on glass. Do they need to be sprayed with any sealer?

Valerie, thank you for watching. I don't use any sealer on my jars. I generally use the jars to store little odds and ends (silk flower arrangements, paperclips, paint brushes, pencils, etc.) and they hold up great. The color stays vibrant and the ink doesn't rub off. I've not ever run them through the dishwasher or anything harsh like that though.
