How to Use Hand Sanitizer for Crafting

Can you believe you can use hand sanitizer to create beautiful crafting backgrounds? You can! When combined with alcohol ink, hand sanitizer produces colorful, organic patterns that are different every time.

Because the sanitizer is thick, it slows the movement of the ink and creates fascinating swirls, textures, and blended areas. Experiment with several colors, but avoid overmixing them—you’ll want to preserve those beautiful variations.

Set the finished background aside until it is completely dry. Drying time may vary depending on how much sanitizer you use. Once dry, your background can be transformed into cards, tags, die-cut shapes, journal pages, or other paper-crafting projects.

In the close-up image, you can see how the rainbow alcohol ink adds a beautiful shimmer to the stripes without altering the background color.
