This project can get messy, so it’s important to have a protected area. -Ensure that your cup is clean and free from any dust or debris. You can wash it with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly before starting. -If you want to create a design with defined edges or protect certain areas of the cup, apply painter’s tape or masking tape in those areas. This will help you achieve clean lines. -Put on your disposable gloves to protect your hands. Shake the alcohol ink bottles well to mix the pigments. You can use a few different colors or stick to one color scheme for a cohesive look. -Drop a few drops of alcohol ink onto the cup. You can experiment with different techniques such as dropping the ink directly onto the cup, using a brush to apply the ink, or blowing the ink around with a straw. Allow the ink to spread and blend naturally or manipulate it with a brush or straw to create the desired effect. -If you want the colors to blend and flow more smoothly, you can apply a small amount of alcohol blending solution or rubbing alcohol onto the cup. This will help the colors mix and create interesting patterns. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed. -Continue adding drops of alcohol ink in different colors and layering them onto the cup. You can let each layer dry before adding the next, or work with wet ink to create unique textures and effects. -Once you are satisfied with the alcohol ink design on your cup and it has completely dried, cut out a design or pattern from the transfer sheet. Carefully place the transfer sheet onto the cup, ensuring that the adhesive side is facing down. Press it firmly onto the cup, smoothing out any air bubbles or wrinkles. -Gently peel off the transfer sheet, starting from one corner and slowly pulling it away from the cup. The design should transfer onto the cup, leaving behind a beautiful pattern. -To protect the alcohol ink and the transferred design, spray the cup with a clear sealant spray. Follow the instructions on the spray can for the best results. This step will help preserve the colors and prevent them from fading or smudging over time. -Allow the sealant to dry completely before handling or displaying the cup. Once dry, you can use your altered cup as a decorative piece, a flower vase, or any other creative purpose you have in mind. Remember to have fun and experiment with different techniques and colors to create a unique home decor item that reflects your personal style. ♥♡ ----- For more inspirations ----- ♡♥ BLOG: YOUTUBE: FACEBOOK: INSTAGRAM: PINTEREST: **♥*♥*♥ -------------*------------ ♥*♥*♥** ♥♡ ----- VAANYOLOGY ----- ♡♥ Youtube: Facebook: **♥*♥*♥ -------------*------------ ♥*♥*♥** For custom orders call us on 9967781015 or email us at soniya@ (Back ground music from ) Hugs!! #growingcraft #bestcraftsupplies #decoupageart #decoupageforbeginners #artandcraft #decoupageworkshop #handmade #diy #homedecor #craftideas #craftsupplies #soniyaagarwal #freecraft #freetutorials #diycraft #decoupagesupplies #decoupagenapkin #mdfcutouts #varnish #decoupageartsupplies #decoupageglassbottle #decoupageglassplate #decoupagediy #basicsofdecoupageartin8steps #decoupageforbegginer #whatisdecoupage #whatmaterialyouneed #decoupage #growingcraft #SoniyaAgarwal #alcoholink #cupmakeover #handmadegifts
