Alcohol ink progress

 I added to a couple of the colors.. a pack of markers from the dollar tree.. so definitely not high end .. 

Had two colors i didn't already start so they got added to colors already in the works.. 

Added the orange to the yellow .. as it was pretty weak looking.. 

Purple went in to the brown..  

This is less than a full day later..

Tried a couple of colors out on some plastic beads.. the bottom beads are what I started with.. 

The center is the original color in this photo.. I am very happy with the results so far.. 

Homemade alcohol ink

Giving alcohol ink a try ... Saw a few posts about using it to spruce up buttons and beads.. 

Went to buy some but they didn't have the colors I was wanting.. 

After checking on YouTube and realizing it was doable at home..  

Old marker innards and isopropyl alcohol 91% in glass jars

 Only been a few minutes... 

Looking pretty good so far .. 

Going to let them set overnight.. 

Reusing Ribbon

Just finished a batch of cloth scrubbers for an up coming event.. 

Want to add easy to see labels for both pricing and item description 

Playing with different ideas on wrappers and such ... When I thought of how much I like the look of the simple tied ribbon like on these fat quarter packs .. I like the ribbons so much I have been saving them for awhile now lol 

   they are really nice just need

a  quick iron .. on low .. just a couple of seconds later.. 

and they are ready to use 

Now I just need to print up a tag or two
