Hi All! I would like to take this time to thank you all for following along with me on my creative journey. It is greatly appreciated, Thank You! I enjoy sharing my craft projects with you all and I am looking forward in sharing more fun projects. Today I was going to share a completely different project until my eyes fell on this Dollar Tree Pumpkin Jar with my first pitiful attempt at using alcohol inks. I had picked up this cute little jar thinking that it would make a cute little pumpkin jar. Recently seeing some cute glass items where alcohol inks were used, like this alcohol ink glass pumpkin over at Sadie Seasongoods, I decided to give it a try. Well, I wasn’t happy with my blotchy attempt so the jar just sat there until now.

Since spotting the jar and with Thanksgiving only a few days away I decided that I better get her done or she will sit there until next year. After watching a few YouTube videos, I gave it another try, and I am pleased with the results.

Diy Dollar Tree Pumpkin Jar

My first try with alcohol inks I had dabbed on the ink and it looked like this blotchy mess below.

The second try I used a cotton ball and instead of dabbing the ink on I made straight strokes going the same direction making a smooth clear clean look instead of blotchy.

All it needs now is a raffia bow around the lid and I’m done. Have you played around with any alcohol inks? If so, please share any tips you may have in the comments below.

    I actually really like your blotchy version Linda. It’s got character and interesting depth to it, almost like green mecury glass? No idea if you even get something like that 😀 We tried playing with alcohol inks a few years back and made some tile trivets which was fun. No tips I’m afraid, we just splattered the ink on and sealed them.

    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with your family <3

      Thank you Michelle! Oh I bet those turned out really pretty! I guess I just need to play around with it some more. Yes I did get to see both my girls and family and had a nice visit. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!
