A while back while looking through Pinterests I ran across some glass bottles colored using alcohol inks. Adding this to my long list of things to try I looked it over to see what was needed for the project. I seen that a felt applicator was needed for adding the alcohol ink to the bottles.

Me the Diy’er that I am, and not wanting to spend money (hubby calls it cheap) when I can make something myself. I am sure with all the little wood parts that I have stashed away I could come up with something that would work for an (affiliate) Alcohol ink stamp. So instead of purchasing a alcohol ink stamp I made my own from my stash.
Easy Diy Alcohol Ink Stamp
Materials Needed :
- Wood glue
- Velcro
- Small wooden spool
- Small rectangle wood cutout
First take your small rectangle wood cutout and add a drop of wood glue
Take your mini wood spool and sit it on top of the glue and let dry throughly.
Take your Velcro and stick to the bottom side of your alcohol ink stamp.
I had to use two separate pieces of velcro to cover the bottom of the stamp.
Cut small pieces of felt to stick to the bottom of your alcohol ink stamp for applying the (affiliate) ink to your bottle.
Just remove felt and add another small piece when switching colors of alcohol ink.
Can’t get any easier then that, and best of all it was all things that I had on hand.
Thanks for stopping by! For more Diy projects .
