Tinting Jump Rings with Alcohol Ink
So I bought some cute skeleton key charms from the dollar section at Michael's a couple of weeks back and I knew I wanted to make some necklaces out of them, but two of the keys were gold and my jump rings were silver. Almost all of my jewelry is silver, so I wasn't about to go and buy a new set of jump rings just to make one necklace, so I used some alcohol ink to tint the silver rings gold. I used some gold and a little bit of yellow/orange ink. I dotted on my application block as normal and dabbed it all over the rings. Then I flipped them over and did it again. It worked like a charm except that the rings would sometimes stick to the felt.
When I was all done I dropped them onto some white cardstock so it would be easier to see the color they turned out. I was pretty pleased that I didn't need to run to the store, and I look forward to coloring them in other colors just for the heck of it now that I know that it works (like purple!).
