This fun project can find you literally the center of the universe! Using Dollar store push lights (and batteries), and alcohol inks (mine are Tim Holtz for Ranger products) we created a Mars affect in under an hour. The planets you simulate will be based on the ink you use.
For this project lay down a craft mat, and have some make-up wedges ready (You guessed it, from the dollar store). Drip the alcohol inks directly on the light, and quickly begin to dab them. Add random color splashed and dab, dab, dab! A really fun idea would be to use the moon or star shaped push lights in pastel colors for a new babies room.
Here I have added red and dabbed it around.
These will dry fast, but are extremely reactive to each other. It is very fun to splatter and change until you find the right combo for your planet. Leave for about fifteen minutes after you have your desired affect. Spray with a clear coat and leave alone for a few hours, over night if possible.
Here she is all done!
I can't wait to make seven or eight more. I'm gonna' have to check with NASA on that number!
Lit up!
