Alcoholic Baubles - Holiday Decorations

In this tutorial I'll show you how to create altered baubles. ***Safety Note: I am using plastic baubles, as glass ones can easily shatter. ***

Thanks for another great video. The baubles are beautiful. I'm crazy about alcohol ink and am always looking for another way to use them. You could also color the metal top with alcohol ink too.

@Beadlion Thanks, glad you liked it. I didn't colour the tops as I ran out of time, but its a good idea :) These babies were all plastic, cheap as chips in the January sales :)

@XkatiexxkittyX Bad lighting everywhere I'm afraid. Still looking for ways to improve it.

I kind of think you mean alcohol ink...not alcoholic! lol

@OneHappyCraftyChick Just my strange humour :) Thought it would be a catchy title :)

This was amazing and beautiful. I am going to give this a try as I have some Christmas balls that I have not used, and they are gold.  Just have to find the alcohol ink. Thanks so much and have a Happy Day

@caitydid2000 Hi

Glad you are going to give them a go. Don't forget to tie the string on before you start painting, and have somewhere to leave them to dry. Otherwise you get finger prints in wet ink/paint :) Works on plastic baubles, the cheapie ones are fine :)

Be gentle if you are decorating glass baubles though, in case they break

Have fun and I'd love to see your results

Best wishes
