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.
