This is my first ever attempt to do a tutorial.
It's for some simple glass tile magnets using Adirondack alcohol inks.
I purchased a square of glass tiles from the big box hardware store
(Lowe's, for those of you in the states)
They have a choice between greenish tint and a light beige tint. Half of them are frosted and the other half are glossy.
Cut them apart from each other and peel of any of the paper than you can off of the back.
I pick out three frosted and three glossy for my magnet set
I used self sticking business card magnet cards ...got a whole load of them for a good deal at a garage sale.
Cut to size using some trash scissors
Stick to the back of the tiles and cut away any excess
Pick out some alcohol inks and squirt a small amount on the little cotton pad in a corner
Dab it on the tile
I like to use two or three colors. The alcohol ink reacts to the base color in interesting ways
Many possibilities
I package them up in sets of six and was able to sell them for $10 a set at our local Farmer's Market
( That's about 7 Euros or 6 British pounds)
That's it!
