Alcohol Ink Tiles for Easter
April is my birthday month, so I may be a bit biased, but with the changing season bringing more sunshine and color, happiness seems to be attached to all the things during this time of year.
Naturally, I had to make some
Easter Egg Alcohol Ink Tiles
These
As I’ve mentioned in my other alcohol ink art posts, this method of using a Sharpie marker to draw the main shape is meant for very simple designs. You can try to make smaller details but I find that those usually bleed and the image is lost.
For example, I tried to add more distinct wiggly stripes to this Easter egg tile (pictured above) and, while pretty, I think it’s a bit more of a mess than magical art. That teeny, tiny bunny doesn’t make a lot of sense either. I guess they can’t all be winners!
Whatever your style, working with
These tiles can be used as coasters, wall hangings, or just as fun decorations for your holiday tables capes.

- Make sure the front of the tile is clean and dry.
- Use the Sharpie permanent marker to draw minimalistic egg designs–the simpler, the better. Go over your lines to make sure they’re about 3-5 mm thick.2 Sharpie permanent marker
- Apply the blending solution with a fine tip brush to the inside of your image–or wherever you want to add color. Be sure to stay at least 1 mm away from your marker line, or it will bleed, and the alcohol ink will run through it. (Sometimes this is awesome and creates something unexpected and neat!)1 bottle alcohol ink blending solution
- Add droplets of alcohol ink to the areas with blending solution. Be mindful of your color choices because they will mix. (Too many colors will create a dark mess.)5 bottle alcohol ink
- If areas are not getting colored, try using a toothpick to drag the ink to those blank spots.
- Once the inside of your image is colored, apply blending solution to your background and repeat steps 4 and 5.
- When you’re satisfied with your creation, allow it to dry on a flat surface.
