About this deal

The end result will vary depending on how the tile is colored and how the alcohol is applied. No matter the result, it’s so much fun for little kids to be able to turn their scribbles into something really beautiful: Permanent markers: We used Sharpies, Bic markers, and a cheap set of markers from the dollar store. All of them worked great, although 2 markers from the Bic set didn’t blend as well as the others. Don’t use washable markers.

PLACE THE TILE ON A COOKIE SHEET THAT HAS BEEN COVERED WITH FOIL. MOVE THE ALCOHOL AWAY FROM THE COOKIE SHEET. For a more saturated look you don’t even have to burn off the alcohol – just let it air dry. Here are a couple tiles my 5 and 7 year olds made: Drink coasters are made with a variety of materials. Most on the market will use silicone, cork, wood, or stone. Each material has pros and cons, so you should select the one that fits your needs. Are you looking for coasters to use outdoors? Absorbent stone will soak up condensation from your ice water. Perhaps you want to get a coaster for your car. Silicone will keep cups stable and will be easy to clean in case of spillage. You can use whiskey stones in all sorts of whiskey—in bourbons, Canadian ryes, and, contrary to popular belief, in Scotch. "Single malt Scotch is often perceived as a spirit drunk neat," says Sean Josephs, master taster for Pinhook Bourbon. "That’s not entirely true, as in Scotland, they will often add water and, yes, even ice and whiskey stones."rubbing alcohol: most rubbing alcohol is 70% and it doesn’t work quite as well, but 91% is easy to find in just about any store with a pharmacy section

Optional: an eye dropper, a spritz bottle, polyurethane spray to seal the tiles, cheap plastic tablecloths to protect your work surface Today I’ll give you all the info you need to make alcohol art tiles with your kids, then tomorrow I’ll be sharing a video that shows you how to take them one step further and make them look like colorful granite coasters. Grab some kids and start making the cheapest, prettiest handmade mother’s day or father’s day or anyone’s day gifts around. How to Make Marbled Art Tiles

Whiskey stones can also help retain the temperature of your toasty beverages. Pop a whiskey stone in the microwave for under a minute, then place it in your tea, coffee, or hot toddy. Be sure to use caution during this step. As I said, we had 7 kids working on tiles at once. They each colored and applied alcohol to their own tiles, but when they were ready to burn them the tiles were placed on the cookie sheet in the middle of the table and were lit under adult supervision. If a kid has doused the tile with alcohol you can get a high flame, so be careful and be sure to supervise. Also be sure kids know not to add alcohol to a burning tile. Glossy white tiles: We used the 4×4 inch tiles from Home Depot that were 16 cents each. Go ahead and buy a few more than you think you’ll need–the kids will want to make lots!
