I use the old tubes to hold solder, taking a small roll off and putting inside, with the inside of the coil through the tip. Keeps it tidy, and away from your hands, plus also a convenient way to dispense it. Use the decoloured tip, with a hole made in it, to act as a stop, so the solder roll inside stays with the end out. Bigger markers hold ore, and you can have multiple different types in use each in their own marked holder, and not get them confused.
Wow!! So excited and honored to see my Eel Dragon on this channel :D The translucency looks awesome, I hadn't thought of putting the inks inside a clear model before. You could get some really beautiful layered effects by staining the inside of the body one color, and layering the outside and fins with another color.
I've been wanting to buy alcohol inks to add to resin before printing, but as you mentioned they are pretty expensive for just "playing around". As a Maker/DIYer I will definitely be trying this! Thanks!
I have been using alcohol based earth tones for weathering wood for decades. Now this could add colors to the palate for weathering and tinting other projects!
I've never heard of this before. What a great way to start the morning! I learned something new! Now I know what to do with my kids dried out markers. Also, wish-cycling. Never heard that term before! I'm going to incorporate that
I am a DIY for nails (not calling myself a nail tech) I've watched many videos with pros using alcohol inks. Never tried them as they are truly expensive and again I'm not a pro. This will be fun to try out! I'm always tossing my kids markers but not anymore! Thanks for the fun video!
I cant wait to try this!! literally gonna find a jar and do this right now lol. I've always wanted to try working with alcohol inks but they're always so pricey I never took the chance.
Great information, thank you! Personally, I would leave the "cores" in the jars and just refill with more alcohol as I use it up. This way, I can make more of the same color, over and over. At least, until the cores run completely clear. Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work!
Really cool. i've never tried alcohol inks but i have seen rybonator do some cool die with them. If i get my hands on any dried up markers will for sure make my own inks. Thanks guys!
This is the most useful upload on the channel in a while, a cheap and cheerful hack. Maybe the crayola pen tubes could be repurposed too by gluing them to make long rods for some other projects. Great content thanks for sharing.
That's really cool! I wanted clear paint for some hot glue effects l made, already messed them up with matte acrylics xD but it won't happen again thanks to you
This is now going to be a thing that I do to add another fun element to my craft game. I'm so excited!!!! I fully plan to use alcohol inks on glass bottles/jars etc.
Back in the late 80s, I worked in an art studio. The visualiser we had would pull the coloured wadding out of the glass Magic Marker pens, grip it with a bulldog clip, pour lighter fluid on it then use it to ‘paint’ large areas quickly.
I am going to do alcohol painting with my 1st graders for an art project this summer but did not want to buy the inks this is just the video for me as we have many dries markers thank you bye the way children will be very well supervised at all stages
Question: When acess to dried up markers is scarce, can I use cheap packs of kids markers as is or do I need to pull the bottoms off and let them dry out first if they are water based? (The cheap packs for kids tend to be less permanent and may contain water) Grateful for a response!
If the markers are still fresh, you could just squeeze the felts out directly into a bottle to get alcohol ink. Leave the felts off to the side in a waxpaper cup like Kayte did with her spent ones, let them dry out, and they try to extract any ink using the process she shows for the dry ones. That will get you the maximum amount of pigment.
Amazing. Thanks so much for this. Does it matter what kinda marker we use for this? Permanent or non permanent markers, new or old ones, dried or wet ones, cheap local or branded ones, etc etc...? Also, what % concentration of isopropyl alcohol should we be using for this?
Those supporting struts on the inside totally look like anatomically correct dots. I would have loved to see them glow and i also would have loved to see some kind of window-color...a finished painting on glass....like a church window.
Have you ever used alcohol ink markers to do this? I bought a bunch thinking I could use them on polymer clay as they are rather than alcohol inks but it didn't work as well as I wanted them to and I'll never use them to color with. Would one marker make 15ml? Or would I likely need more? Thanks for the video!
*very curious as to finding the pantone designations for some of the inks that i use...some that i've used in the past have been amazing and produce exactly the types of effects and distressing that i find the most desirable...but they are also somewhat expensive for the volume that i require...could higher end fountain pen inks be used for this?...need them to be permanent and not water soluble after application on the paper i would be using*
I think I put too much alcohol in. I used only one brand new sharpie for each color and filled a small bottle with alcohol. Next day tried to spply to a vase but it just dripped off like water and would not stick. Any idea if I can thicken the ink?
I would guess it sticks fine, but it's a layer of ink. I don't think it will hold up to abuse of any kind. There are special markers for glass and ceramics that are made specifically for the purpose you're describing.
@@LSLencrypted awesome, thanks for the tip! I was thinking this might be a fun thing to do with the kids, to design their own drinking glasses. If it washes off I guess they can always do another one :)
Just starting to watch and I am intrigued. Can you use the painted items for food or is it decorative only? Washing instructions for completed projects? Thank you
Decorative only, as edible as the marker ink is, so not really recommended to be eaten, though the FDA regards them as relatively safe except for the solvents in them. Washing they will wash off with water slowly, as it also is a polar solvent like alcohol, but will survive exposure to a dry atmosphere for a long time. Will fade in sunlight though, like the markers do.
I didn't watch the whole video until now, I was trying them on watercolor paper and it really doesn't have the same movement and opacity as real alcohol inks that I see online. Is it not really meant for paper or have you done cool things with them on it?
You don't mention the percentage of alcohol ink to use. Granted, I can see that your bottle says 91%, but some people watching your video may not realize that the percentage of the alcohol makes a difference. And maybe it doesn't. But anything I've read has said you need to use the 91% alcohol.
I'll have to look into this. Alcohol inks are so expensive here I'd be ecstatic to get a 24 colour kit for $60. That'd be more like $180 on a good day.
Might one use a "good" marker and just set the tip in a little alcohol to create a "wash" of pastel color matched to the marker? I can envision art projects where that would be useful.
Would it help you to put the felt in a wide-mouth class jar and after they soak in those THEN transfer the ink to the dropper bottles with a funnel? Wouldn't that make it a lot easier to put your felts in and take them out?

Hi Adam, got a bunch of old markers
now I know what to do with
them, :)
Cobramode is the maker of that amazing 3D Eel model, and they have the most amazing models!
I use the old tubes to hold solder, taking a small roll off and putting inside, with the inside of the coil through the tip. Keeps it tidy, and away from your hands, plus also a convenient way to dispense it. Use the decoloured tip, with a hole made in it, to act as a stop, so the solder roll inside stays with the end out. Bigger markers hold ore, and you can have multiple different types in use each in their own marked holder, and not get them confused.
that's amazing. dried up markers always 'felt' like a waste but that is a great way to reuse and recycle
Wow!! So excited and honored to see my Eel Dragon on this channel :D The translucency looks awesome, I hadn't thought of putting the inks inside a clear model before. You could get some really beautiful layered effects by staining the inside of the body one color, and layering the outside and fins with another color.
My brain registered the title as “How to make alcoholic drinks from old markers”
Me too....😂🤣🤣😂🍸🍹 🍻Cheers
🤣🤣🤣
I've been wanting to buy alcohol inks to add to resin before printing, but as you mentioned they are pretty expensive for just "playing around". As a Maker/DIYer I will definitely be trying this! Thanks!
First time I've heard about alcohol colors for art projects. And I'm hooked!
ive used this alcohol ink to dye fabric, it works great. doesnt smell like alcohol, great color and stays well even on polyester
You can actually mix the ink in with some of your 3D printing resin.
I have been using alcohol based earth tones for weathering wood for decades. Now this could add colors to the palate for weathering and tinting other projects!
I've never heard of this before. What a great way to start the morning! I learned something new! Now I know what to do with my kids dried out markers. Also, wish-cycling. Never heard that term before! I'm going to incorporate that
This is gonna save me a ton of money in resin casting. Awesome.
Split the felts down the side with a sharp blade before cutting them into sections. More pigment released.
Good job Kate, thanks for guest hosting!
I’ll be tossing some of the marker tubes and end caps into my greeble bin.
What hobby do you use the greenling for?
*Greebling
I am a DIY for nails (not calling myself a nail tech) I've watched many videos with pros using alcohol inks. Never tried them as they are truly expensive and again I'm not a pro. This will be fun to try out! I'm always tossing my kids markers but not anymore! Thanks for the fun video!
This is going straight to my art playlist!
Nice!! I came on here to diy alcohol ink to dye feathers & found it’s for glass, ceramics & so much more. Thanks
I cant wait to try this!! literally gonna find a jar and do this right now lol. I've always wanted to try working with alcohol inks but they're always so pricey I never took the chance.
I love kate! So happy she is becoming a repeat person of tested!
This really interesting I have never really heard about this, this is cool.
You are my goddess! You guys have no idea but in Brazil, those markers are 4 times more expensive than you find there. Thank you so so so much.
amazing, I have been recycling dried out markers for free plastic tubes, and some greeblies, now 100% can be recycled
Great hints, can't wait to try this! BTW Kayte is awesome
Cool! I've just started creating stuff with resin (doing pours in molds, etc) and this would be a great way to get more colours for my creations!
Great information, thank you!
Personally, I would leave the "cores" in the jars and just refill with more alcohol as I use it up.
This way, I can make more of the same color, over and over. At least, until the cores run completely clear. Just a suggestion!
Keep up the great work!
Very Cool ! I like the translucent effect 😎
Really cool. i've never tried alcohol inks but i have seen rybonator do some cool die with them. If i get my hands on any dried up markers will for sure make my own inks. Thanks guys!
Hi, Katie. That is a great idea for old markers. Thanks for sharing that idea. Have a great day. Take Care.
This came up on playlist while I was cleaning my art drawer and Kayte is onto some major galaxy brain arthacks
That is such a cool hack! You could use the inks to fill up alcohol based markers! It's an endless cycle of markers!
Oh this will save me so much money, and since im a horder of art supplies i have a bunch of dead markers i knew would come in handy some day!!

Too, those were the days... Magic Marker marble was an artform, lol. #cleanartmyarse
If only the crew had shouted out "Norm!" when he came into scene.
This was awesome to watch….also Norm, I love your shirt..
This is wonderful! Looking to paint on a drumhead, alcohol inks were suggested. But what the heck, this looks so fun!
Im gonna try making one for panel lines on my gunpla.
Best thing iv seen on tested in a while
Good job guys! now all you need is to pop an LED inside to make it glow :) very pretty :)
Excellent and well made video! Very informative and I love your energy. I look forward to being able to apply this technique to a future project!
Who else immediately thought about those old prismacolor markers they bought when they got out of high school?
instructions unclear, made margarita
Also not bad :)
Brilliant and cost effective! I use alcohol inks for resin projects, so yes ex teacher here has lots of extra markers 🤣😂
Can't wait to try this myself
Try liquid highlighter and a UV LED inside the model. I imagine that would make a cool Green Lantern or Derek Powers.
Think I saw someone in the elegoo group putting it into clear resin and got really vibrant colours 🤔
Awesome 👍 thanks. I love art and recycling.... Great video
10:08 I gasped in Evan & Katelyn
This was exactly what I wanted
Dang! I wish I had seen this before I threw away a ton of dried up markers 🥺
Will be making a dirty yellow... see if I can't goldificate some RC chrome wheels. Cheers4th@.
great! will this het washed of in contact of water if not sealed?
I am going to do alcohol painting with my 1st graders for an art project this summer but did not want to buy the inks this is just the video for me as we have many dries markers thank you bye the way children will be very well supervised at all stages
Hello. Does this method of making the ink last long? Especially, when painting and storing?
Question: When acess to dried up markers is scarce, can I use cheap packs of kids markers as is or do I need to pull the bottoms off and let them dry out first if they are water based?
(The cheap packs for kids tend to be less permanent and may contain water)
Grateful for a response!

That will get you the maximum amount of pigment.
I now regret doing a declutter of all my old markers. Sometimes its good to be a hoarder lol
I feel like the #1 hoarder problem is the day after you decide to part with something you end up finding a use for it
Amazing. Thanks so much for this. Does it matter what kinda marker we use for this? Permanent or non permanent markers, new or old ones, dried or wet ones, cheap local or branded ones, etc etc...? Also, what % concentration of isopropyl alcohol should we be using for this?
Great idea! Always hated throwing away old markers. Have tried to revive them by adding alcohol but wasn't very effective.
Those supporting struts on the inside totally look like anatomically correct dots.
I would have loved to see them glow and i also would have loved to see some kind of window-color...a finished painting on glass....like a church window.

Would one marker make 15ml? Or would I likely need more?
Thanks for the video!
Great!
Does it have to be 99% or any isopropyl alcohol will do?
this is amazing!
In the before times we used alcohol paints by dripping them onto glass and lighting them on fire (carefully)
*very curious as to finding the pantone designations for some of the inks that i use...some that i've used in the past have been amazing and produce exactly the types of effects and distressing that i find the most desirable...but they are also somewhat expensive for the volume that i require...could higher end fountain pen inks be used for this?...need them to be permanent and not water soluble after application on the paper i would be using*
Cool tip. Great result. How come the caps and ends of the markers aren't recyclable?
I think I put too much alcohol in. I used only one brand new sharpie for each color and filled a small bottle with alcohol. Next day tried to spply to a vase but it just dripped off like water and would not stick. Any idea if I can thicken the ink?
Would these work similar to acrylic inks for minis?
Will this work on fabric or will it wash out?
Excellent!
Try dropping IPA through the felt.this is how I get fluorescene from highlighters. Dripping the alcohol through the felt leaves no pigment behind.
How well does the ink stick to glass and ceramics? Would they survive the dishwasher, say?
I would guess it sticks fine, but it's a layer of ink. I don't think it will hold up to abuse of any kind. There are special markers for glass and ceramics that are made specifically for the purpose you're describing.
@@LSLencrypted awesome, thanks for the tip! I was thinking this might be a fun thing to do with the kids, to design their own drinking glasses. If it washes off I guess they can always do another one :)
What can you use to protect the finish after application?
can you use this on see through plastic model parts? - i typed this and then norm pulled out see through plastic parts lol thanks norm
Will the washable crayola markers really result in waterproof ink?
Just starting to watch and I am intrigued. Can you use the painted items for food or is it decorative only? Washing instructions for completed projects? Thank you
Decorative only, as edible as the marker ink is, so not really recommended to be eaten, though the FDA regards them as relatively safe except for the solvents in them. Washing they will wash off with water slowly, as it also is a polar solvent like alcohol, but will survive exposure to a dry atmosphere for a long time. Will fade in sunlight though, like the markers do.
@@SeanBZA thank you very much for the quick response and info!
alcohol and food coloring is what I'd try
Made something similar using highlighters to make black light paint.
I didn't watch the whole video until now, I was trying them on watercolor paper and it really doesn't have the same movement and opacity as real alcohol inks that I see online. Is it not really meant for paper or have you done cool things with them on it?
I'm curious what resin they used for the models.
If one first washed the inside of that dragon with plain alcohol, then when you added the color it would flow smoothly and not have any "edge lines".
now put led light inside
I like using alcohol ink for dying wigs!
Love this 💚🖤
You don't mention the percentage of alcohol ink to use. Granted, I can see that your bottle says 91%, but some people watching your video may not realize that the percentage of the alcohol makes a difference. And maybe it doesn't. But anything I've read has said you need to use the 91% alcohol.
Read that title without the word ink. Tiny bit bummed but still cool lol.
I think these inks would also work very well as a wood stain
Adam's content is getting more crafty, he looks alittle bit off in this one.
hair is fantastic though
Very cool
Kinda wanna try alcohol ink in my airbrush now
What resin is that?
Wow thank you
I think people also use alcohol ink to tint the clear resin BEFORE printing.
I'll have to look into this. Alcohol inks are so expensive here I'd be ecstatic to get a 24 colour kit for $60. That'd be more like $180 on a good day.

To think I was going to buy blueing. Thanks
Hi everyone, there looking really good
great job, :)
