Coba simak tutorial DIY tatakan gelas galaksi di bawah ini. Tatakan gelas ini pasti akan menonjol sebagai hadiah yang tak terlupakan bagi siapa pun yang Anda beri.
The Supplies:
•
4″ polished marble hexagon tiles
•Alcohol inks (
I used pink sherbet, mermaid, indigo, and aqua)
•Painter’s tape if you want the color blocked look
•
DecoColor Gold Paint Pen
•Sticky backed cork contact paper
•Utility knife or scissors
•Latex (or nitrile) disposable gloves
Steps :
1. Once you have all your supplies and your gloves are on (the alcohol inks will stain your hands for a few weeks if you don’t use them!), use the tape to tape off the part of the marble coaster that you don’t want painted and make sure the tape is very well adhered. You will also want to work on a protected surface. I covered my table with plastic wrap to protect it from getting even more paints splatters on it!
2. Next, drip on your colors in bands onto the exposed part of the coaster. Make sure not to add too much of the alcohol inks, only a few drops should do. Next tip the coaster to let the excess ink drain off onto your protected surface or onto a crumpled up paper towel.
3. Once drained you will get this swirly gradient look on your coasters. The last step is to add a few flecks of gold by shaking your paint pen over the coasters in a downward flicking motion.
4. Once you have added the flecks, gently peel off the tape and let the ink absorb into the coaster. The last step is to trace the tile on your cork contact paper and adhere the cork to the underside of the tile to create your coaster.
Marble is so absorbent that you don’t have to even seal the ink on, but if you are still worried you can give the coasters a coat of spray varnish to seal them.
In the coaster above you can see a line down one side. This was one where the ink bled under the tape, so I went ahead and made the whole think galaxy. So, make sure your tape is well adhered and you don’t use too much ink to prevent bleeding.
Have you played with alcohol inks before? I have only just dabbled in them and while they are messy, the results are kinda worth it!
