Step 1

Clean the outside of the vases and dry completely.
TIP: Wear disposable gloves when using alcohol ink as the ink will stain your skin.

Step 2

Drop some alcohol ink on the felt pad of an applicator as well as a little blending solution, then tap it onto the glass. Continue this technique until you are happy with the look. Let dry.
TIP: Alcohol ink is self-replacing, meaning that when you add ink to an already inked area, the new ink will replace (or alter) what was there first.

Step 3

Cut out a design (or saying) from vinyl with your Cricut® machine. Weed the design then use transfer tape to add to your alcohol inked vase.

Step 4

Fill the vase with white sand. Now, place your succulents in the sand.
TIP: Cut the stems with a floral cutter if the stems are too long.
