Alcohol Ink Paper Decoration

Materials and Process

  • Alcohol Ink

  • pipettes

  • palette or small cups

  • photo paper

Process

The process for this method of paper decoration is super simple. Using the specified paper, squeeze drops of the ink directly onto the paper. For stripes (pictured), hold paper up and let the ink run. For metallic color, squeeze ink onto palette and mix metallic color with regular colors. The difficulty would come in getting such specific materials. This method is not for anyone who loves a lot of control in with their art.

In the classroom…

This technique would be best for older elementary students because they would be interested in the vivid colors, still accept variability, and be able to handle the material, which will stain.
