UPDATE (7/30/20): Regarding my comment within this video about customer service from Kristie Taylor Creations (kristietaylorcreations.com), I have since received not only a replacement bottle of the Aphrodite Purple that IS sparkle ink, but I also received 2 bonus bottles of sparkle ink in the colors pink and orange. So a HUGE Thank you to kristietaylorcreations.com for their great Customer Service!!!
I first saw Mixed Media Girl do this in a couple of her recent videos (links here: • Dollar store DIY - Alc... and here: • Easy, beautiful alcoho... ), and I decided to give it a try but with a slight twist to her methods. I dropped various colored inks right onto the glass, and the tealight gods were impressed!

I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.
Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!

If you're here only to see how she puts the paints on, skip to 6:25. That turned out so pretty! I've never seen a tealight holder like that, but I really like it. I want to try making Christmas ornaments using this method, but I'm so OCD and I'm scared I'll hate them.

@Luxinda 2 года назад

Go for it!! If you can, get some ornaments or even small drinking glasses at Dollar Tree or some other cheap place to practice on 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@@Luxinda You made me smile. :) Thank you!! I like your dollar store idea and your encouragement has me willing to try. I checked the link you provided and I think I'm going to try your way and the sponge way.

Nice! For alcohol ink I use a combination of Kamar Varnish and UV-Resistant Clear (both Krylon). 3 coats of each (Kamar first), let dry at least 2 hours between coats.

Lovely! I was looking at the device you used to hold your glass warmer. I’ve seeing so many people use the cup Turner machine to do this as well so my question is is I use wine bottles but I can’t find a Turner to use on the regular longneck bottles so should I get that Styrofoam? That you used and if so should I try to find a thick enough piece of long Styrofoam to slip in my glass bottle neck to do my sinks and then just turn the Styrofoam as I am turning the wine bottles? Because I’m really trying to find a cup Turner for wine bottles if that makes sense and this is very beautiful so you can use candles inside OK Awesome ty ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

@Luxinda 3 года назад

Thanks! I have turned a plastic bottle on my tumbler turner by taking the pvc arm of the turner and wrapping one end with first-aid self-adhering or self-sticking wrap until I got a big enough blob or lump of that tape built up to stay tightly wedge in a small bottle opening. Would something like that work with a heavier glass wine bottle? I don’t know. It might be worth a try. You could also get a piece of the pool noodle foam and shave the outside of it down until you can jam it into a wine bottle opening.

@DonnasCreationsandMore Год назад

Very pretty...I saw a video where you put it in the oven on 200 for 15mins to dry

@Luxinda Год назад

Thanks!! Honestly, this video was so long ago, I don't fully remember what I did. But either way, alcohol evaporates very quickly so it doesn't take long to dry even if left out on a worktable for an hour. But, yes, you could put it in a warm oven to speed things up. Personally, I probably wouldn't just because alcohol is so flammable. But it's also probably mostly evaporated by the time you'd finish and consider putting it in an oven. Your call.

@pannaputnam4321 3 года назад

Lovely candle holder/ votive! I am going to make some as gifts. Quick question- I know alcohol inks are inflammable. Any dangers of having a candle on the inside?

@Luxinda 3 года назад

Honestly, I don't think so. The actual alcohol evaporates very quickly and then the colors dry onto the glass. At that point, it shouldn't be flammable anymore.

@believeintendcreate Год назад

So I have tried this several times however my alcohol inks are by Ranger the tips are smaller so the drops runs are stringy The ink doesn’t run like in video, any suggestions?

@Luxinda Год назад

You could squirt some of the inks out onto a piece of parchment paper or into a small cup and then dab them onto the glass with a sponge or paint them on with a paintbrush.

@tiarranelson8252 3 года назад

Wont the heat from the candle dry it faster?

@Luxinda 3 года назад

It might! I didn’t even think to try that - I put it out on the porch in the sun, but burning the candle inside the candle holder is a great idea!

@carenmohr6708 Год назад

I see so many projects with alcohol ink on glass candle holders. And they are cleared with spray. My question is...won't it catch on fire?? I googled it and the answer was YES.

@carenmohr6708 Год назад

I also started out practicing on dollar tree candle votive. The out come was beautiful. Just was afraid to light a candle inside. By the way...love yours.

@Luxinda Год назад

If you were to put the alcohol ink on then light a candle immediately, it’s certainly possible. But the alcohol in alcohol ink evaporates in seconds. And while spray-on varnish is also flammable directly out of the spray can, once it’s set and dry, the flammable component has evaporated also. But if you aren’t comfortable using a tea light holder that’s been decorated with alcohol inks, then don’t. 😊 Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything here.

@helenh6442 7 месяцев назад

Or use a battery operated tea light!

@janc8250 2 года назад

My ink won’t stick to the glass…just drips off like water???

@Luxinda 2 года назад

Hmmmm, maybe there's something on the glass, if it's new from the store it might have some coating on it from the manufacturing. Try a good washing with soapy water and then rub it all over with alcohol on a paper towel. If that doesn't work, try putting the alcohol ink onto a makeup sponge and blotting that onto the glass. It should dry quickly, and then you can usually add on more from there and work your way out. I hope this helps a little!

@susanmcmichael5607 Год назад

Almost all my glass projects have a problem with the ink coming off with water. I sealed them with varnish…😢

@Luxinda Год назад

Oh dear, that's a shame! It may just be that the varnish weakens over time. You could try sealing them with epoxy resin if that's something you're comfortable using. It's a LOT more durable than a spray on or paint on varnish would be.

@susanmcmichael5607 Год назад

@@Luxinda I noticed the problem a few weeks after I used the varnish. I wrote to the Ranger Co. and was told that the inks aren’t made for glass. His suggestion was to watch other peoples videos to see what they are doing. He also mentioned the resin.

@Luxinda Год назад

@@susanmcmichael5607 ohhhh! That’s interesting 🤔 I never thought about some inks not being made for glass, implying that others *are* made for glass. There are some beautiful translucent glass paints, like from Pebeo, but I don’t know if they would give the same overall look that alcohol inks do.
