Alcohol ink jewelry is fun to make because alcohol ink is such an easy (messy!) medium to work with. As you learn how alcohol ink reacts on different surfaces, you realise the potential for making earrings and other jewelry is huge.
Following on from my last alcohol ink tutorial in which I also showed you how to make earrings, I am showing you another, faster method for making beautiful earrings using blended alcohol inks.
Alcohol inks are very messy and will stain your hands, so be sure to use rubber gloves when you try this project.
In this DIY alcohol ink project, I also show you how to make sure the run off ink is not wasted. I show you how to use Yupo paper underneath the earrings when you color them so you can create a lovely abstract background to use in other projects.
Alcohol ink is expensive so we don't want to waste a drop!
After watching this craft tutorial, you will know how to make beautiful earrings very quickly using alcohol inks.

Hi Jusfe, thanks so much for watching and I’m glad to hear you are going to give it a go - I’m sure you’ll make some gorgeous pieces. It’s good fun and so quick as the glue dries very fast so you can get to the ink dripping part quickly. Lovely to hear from you and thanks again for being a part of my channel🙏💕

Wow what a really cool idea! You have sparked my imagination and given us a really super project! The left over ink drops on the Yupo paper are gorgeous and can be used for so many other projects! I love it! Thank’s so much for sharing your talent and technics! I’m going to try this, play and have fun creating. Each design will be unique and one of a kind. Thank you for the free print out. Be well, stay safe.

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Hi Debbie, thanks so much for watching and commenting - your time is very much appreciated! I hope you have lots of fun experimenting - the effects you can get with the inks are so cool, it’s gets a bit addictive - I just love playing with them. Don’t do what I did though - after telling everyone to wear gloves, I was playing around with the Mermaid blue ink with NO GLOVES🙄and tipped a whole lot onto my hand by accident. The edges of my nails are still blue and my skin is very dry from where I tried to scrub it off😱Thanks again and enjoy experimenting.😍

@RainbowLane 2 месяца назад

Thank you and you are welcome. The tool is called a Crop-o-Dile by We Are Memory Keepers. It has two different size hole punches in one tool. If you Google it, you should be able to find where you can buy one near you, or buy online. Hope you find one. Thanks for watching. 🙏❤️

@susanmcallister8068 3 месяца назад

This is a great idea. I’ve got to try it! How long do you let the alcohol ink dry? It’s looks so shiny! Thanks!

@RainbowLane 3 месяца назад

Hi Susan, thanks for your comment. I actually can’t remember - I am so sorry, that’s terrible! I was lucky with mine because they were pretty stable after they dried but a few people contacted me to say the alcohol ink would need to be sealed to stop it rubbing off. All I can say is, experiment with some small pieces of glue first and see how long it takes. I’m pretty sure that different colours took longer to dry than others. I’m really sorry I’m not much help with this. My memory is terrible! 🥴Thanks so much for watching and reaching out. 🙏💕

@allisonkeevers1969 3 года назад

Hi Gilly. Another beautiful idea. I don't know how you keep coming up with them. The volume was good on this one, and as per usual Yummy enjoyed listening to you very much, so now I have to clean the fur off the computer !!

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Hi Ally, oh good, I’m glad Yummy is happy again! 🐈 And thanks for giving me the heads up last time about the volume - that was a great help. As for my ideas, they come to me when I’m not thinking about them. Usually when I’m out walking. I call them my celestial emails because they come from above and just drop into my head🤗. Take care and give Yummy a hug for me. And as always, thank you for watching.💐💕

@allisonkeevers1969 3 года назад

@@RainbowLane Hi again Gilly. If you don't have an air puffer like the one that you use, could you blow through a drinking straw instead ?

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Yes you can definitely do that. The reason I prefer the puffer is because when I used to use a straw, I found I was taking a breath in right over the area where the alcohol ink is (instead of turning completely away first) and that is really not good for health reasons. If you make sure you NEVER take in a big lung full of alcohol ink fumes then you could use a straw but I wouldn’t advise it. When I was blowing through a straw, I tended to take in really deep breaths each time my puff ran out. And I would be so completely engrossed in blowing the ink around that I would hardly move my mouth away from the straw to take my next deep breath - that’s very bad. So if you do use a straw, stay mindful of the need to turn towards an open window each time you you take a breath in. I’m very sensitive to any kind of fumes in art and craft supplies and I have to have windows wide open.

@abiemanalang2395 3 года назад

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Hi Abie - that’s why you need to do it over Yupo paper and you can make more earrings from the beautiful patterns you get in the ink that spills off. Thanks for watching 😘

@demetriaruth8700 Год назад

have you ever used alcohol markers on your earrings. Your earrings are beautiful

@RainbowLane Год назад

Hello and thank you. Yes I have but I prefer the inks. Thanks so much for watching and reaching out.🙏

@mariantwohig5156 Год назад

These are awesome! Do you glaze or resin them?

@RainbowLane Год назад

Thank you! No I didn't and I am not sure if you could use resin. I have never worked with resin because of the fumes it gives off. I'm also not sure about glazing them either - maybe I'll try it and see what happens. I just left them as they are but if anyone was making them to sell or give as presents, you probably would need to seal them somehow to stabilise the inks. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and apologies for taking so long to respond. 🙏

@cynthiasymons 2 года назад

You could do this on a Gelli plate and print the inks, right? What would be the downside of that?

@RainbowLane 2 года назад

Hi Cynthia, you could try that and see what happens. You’d get a different effect I’m sure. Maybe make your own gel pad with glycerin and gelatin powder rather than experiment on an expensive brand name one. There are plenty of people using alcohol inks on gelli plates on RU-vid so I’m guessing it’s fine. I have played with alcohol inks on gelli plate before with no issues but I haven’t tried what you suggested. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. 🙏💕

@RainbowLane 10 месяцев назад

Hi Lou, thank you for letting me know. If you want to watch it again, you can turn on the captions or read the transcript to clarify what I’m saying. I have no idea why some people can hear it and some can’t. It’s fine on all my devices but I know the sound is for some people on their devices. I do record at a higher volume now to try and make it audible on all devices but unfortunately, I can’t do anything about this one. Thanks for watching and reaching out💕🙏

@brittgastreich4065 3 года назад

Do you seal the earrings with Kamar and a spray gloss to keep the alcohol ink from rubbing off?

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Hi Britt, thanks for watching - no I hardly ever use anything like that because I have a thing about using aerosols as they upset my chest really fast - I used to have a spray booth with an extractor fan but I don’t have that any more, so I don’t use aerosols inside the house. The only aerosol I ever use is spray glue and I have to wait for a calm day with no wind so I can do it outside😂 The inks are really stable on all the earrings I have made, nothing is rubbing off at all. I’ve been wearing them a lot and nothing has come off at all. Thanks again for watching and taking time to comment.🙏💕

@brittgastreich4065 3 года назад

@@RainbowLane Thanks for your response. I was just curious because with AI paintings, I have always sealed them. I am anxious to try your methods and see how it works! Thanks for the videos!

@RainbowLane 3 года назад

Hi Britt, if you can cope with using the spray on sealer, it’s probably a good idea, especially for paintings that will be displayed or sold on. I’ve never produced any alcohol ink work that is worthy of being put on the wall🥴. I’ve seen some amazing stuff that alcohol ink artists have done though. My explorations over the last few years have never progressed beyond working on small substrates to use in crafts. Even when I paint using acrylics, I work small, usually A4 and then do a really good scan which I have printed much larger onto a box canvas. I did try sealing my glue creations with Dimensional Magic but I found putting glue on glue doesn’t work! But it does work on other surfaces. Lovely talking to you Britt - have you got your paintings online? Would love to see what you do. 💕

@tropicosta 2 года назад

Do you need to seal them?

@RainbowLane 2 года назад

You can seal them if you want to. I didn’t, but it’s probably a good idea to seal them for longevity.

I am full time carer for my mum who lives with us so I just teach workshops when I can. If you wanted to try selling these I would suggest you experiment with sealing them. I just wore mine myself so didn’t bother sealing them. Thanks for watching🙏💕

@hollyegee2199 2 года назад

A really dumb question…what is upo paper? Is that like a butcher paper?

@RainbowLane 2 года назад

Not dumb at all - a perfectly sensible question if you never heard of Yupo paper before. It’s a synthetic paper. I just got this off the internet because it explains better than I can: ‘Yupo is a synthetic paper made from polypropylene used in art predominantly, alongside alcohol inks but is sometimes touted as a “non-absorbent” watercolour paper, which in and of itself is a strange concept to wrap your head around.’ It’s a lovely ’paper’ to work with. Hope that answers your question. You can buy tiny little sample pads from some art suppliers. There are various thicknesses of Yupo - I think I got a set of three tiny little pads once in the U.K. from Jackson’s Art Supplies online. Worth getting to have a try with it before you buy a big pad - it’s quite expensive. Thanks for watching. 🙏
