TIP Work in a well-ventilated area!
For easy clean up, set up work station and
put foil under the tile, as the alcohol runs off sides.
STEP ONE
Clean off tile. Write name on bottom to identify
Color tile or vase with permanent Sharpies.
Apply the marker color heavily to cover all areas.
Can leave small white areas.
STEP TWO
“Drop and Stop.” Say that out loud as each child uses the
eye dropper to drop the alcohol onto the colored tile or vase.
Little drops at a time, letting the colors mix. It is like Magic!
STEP THREE
Let Dry
Parents spray the projects with a clear coating of sealer.
Let the sealer dry. Put a flower in the vase for a special touch!
