- Following my previous video comparing Yupo paper with Photo Paper, a couple of people commented that not all photo paper reacted the same way and that they had struggled to get the photo paper to produce any acceptable results. So, I have experimented again, and here are some more tips for you.
Please be careful using alcohol with a heat tool. Alcohol is highly flammable.

Those look beautiful, very colourful. Like how you listed your failures too. Making that small adjustment at the beginning to the dropping technique works wonders. Doing that means you can still layer the pools of ink. Thanks Nina
Thanks Maria, I'm glad I was able to tweak this and get it to work xx
I am so GLAD that you kindly shared this unique way to actually "recycle" unwanted photos. I am so SAD that about 30 days ago I went through about 1,000 (yes - 1,000) family photos and disposed of the duplicates, the ugly, the unidentifiable, etc... So, believe it or not it is mid-January and we are having a 60 degree freaky day in Cleveland OH. Out to the trash bags where I may be able to locate all of those suddenly valuable photos! You are a gifted artist and an excellent teacher!
+BC TN GAL LIVIN' IN OH Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I hope you managed to retrieve some!
Thank you so much sharing this video! I’ve not ever used my alcohol inks, as after I bought them, I found yupo paper to be beyond my budget! I just bought some ceramic tiles after watching some tutorials yesterday and now I have another option of substrates. With many old photos to choose from, I’m excited to try this technique! Just curious, how does it affect the photos themselves? Thanks again!
Hi Nina. I've really enjoyed your alcohol ink videos, especially the ones with stencils. I have a tip to share--one I haven't seen anyone else do yet in a tutorial. I've been using tiny coffee-stirring straws to make smaller dots, and they are also extremely useful with stencils. To use them, put a bit of ink into a small holding tray and then just tap the straw tip to it and pop your finger over the other end of the straw. You can then move the straw over to and around your paper, tapping it down and releasing your finger from the tip to let out a small dot of ink, then replacing your finger and repeating the action until your little supply is used up. With this method, you are using capillary action to hold the bit of ink in the straw, and it gives you good control over the amount of ink that disperses onto the paper. With stencils I just tap the ink-filled straw against the edges of the stencil designs, to get the ink to soak up under the plastic portions of the stencil (rather than to fill the open spaces of the design). You can get a gorgeous design this way without using up loads of ink. I should mention that I do this on paper for which I've already created a background by spreading one or more light colors over the entire sheet. I let the background dry before adding the stencil layer. Getting gorgeous effects!
+jHeather Kinser Thanks so much for this idea Heather, so timely too as I will be getting my alcohol inks out during the next couple of days, as I have been asked to do a card tutorial. I have not seen coffee stirring or very fine straws here in the UK, but I will try with the fine pipes in small spray bottles and see if that works. What a great idea, and thank you for sharing it with me!
I think your "fail" with the Mod Podge on top is delightful! So vibrant and fun to see the white space. I adore how you are using old photos to repurpose into new art!
+Suzy Sholar Thanks Suzy. It's so much fun. Playing with alcohol inks !
Hi, Nina! Rescued a ton and have been gloriously spreading alcohol inks all over them. I can't remember when I've had so much fun. Some of my photos were processed in the 60's and others were printed professionally up to the last few years. All I've tried so far take the ink beautifully. I can't find one that hasn't worked! Thank you again - this will save tons of money and take a lot of photos out of dump sites.
+BC TN GAL LIVIN' IN OH I'm delighted to hear that you managed to rescue them and that its worked for you. Thanks so much for letting me know xx
I haven't worked with alcohol inks yet, but the effects you get with the vivid colors are terrific! I've acquired numerous photos that I'll never use and thank you for giving me a reason to save them (as I hate to toss them) and now I'll be able to put them to good use! Love you ideas!!!
Thank you so much for idea of using old photos , i have piles i was going to destroy cant wait to dig them you are a wonderful teacher bless you for sharing .
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and I hope you will enjoy giving your old photos a new lease of life 💕
Thanks for the tip of using old photos for this techniques. I have boxes full and luckily haven't got around to sort them so I can add that to my recycling xx
+Chris Harrison Alcohol inks are so much fun and cold photos are a great way of testing them out. Let me know how you get on xx
What a WONDERFUL idea for using otherwise useless photographs. I have MANY which were developed years which are either blank, duplicates, or accidentally taken of no particular interest, but I never threw them away because I thought I MAY need them one day for SOME purpose. So, I THANK You for sharing this tutorial of an inspiring technique. ~BLESSINGS~
+KonnyKrafter I'm so glad you've got some old photos saved to try this. It works a charm! Have fun 😊
Thank you for sharing. Yours all looked terrific. Have many old photos. Trying soon!
Happy Creating 💕
You Nina Ribena are the best! Thank You Kindly
+Armand Blenker Thanks so much for your kind comment Armand 😊
This is so cool I would’ve never thought to use the backside of photo paper. Thank you
Thanks for all the work you did. One note of caution. I would be especially careful using the heat tool. The alcohol is very flammable. That is why you should not keep the little applicator pads.
Thanks Jeanne for your words of warning Jeanne. I will put a note for everyone in the description box too.
I ALWAYS appreciate being told why not to do something that looks like it will save money. I'll tend to do it anyway (being of a family of skin-flints) unless I hear WHY.
Thank you Nina!❣❣always looking forward to your vid's. And your experiments! Wonderful!
Thanks Tara. I was disappointed when a couple of people said they were struggling this. Just had to give it another go!
Thanks for taking the time to try different photo papers with alcohol inks.
I was so glad I got them to work. The results are very pretty xx
Thanks for showing the different effects Nina! Love your idea to use old photo's....X
Thanks Mieke, I was so pleased I was able to get this to work , especially on the old photo's as we all have them readily available xxx
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIMENTS. I JUST USE YUPO.
IF U HAVENT TRIED.
SCRUNCH GLAD WRAP PLASTIC, PLACE OVER INK WHEN WET, LET DRY COMPLETELY, REMOVE AND SEE THE MAGIC THAT APPEARS.
WARM WISHES

+Janet Swope Thanks so much Janet 😊
Hello from the Treasure Coast of Florida. I’ve just started watching videos on alcohol inks and very much want to try them myself. In fact if I get Christmas money, I’ll be ordering some from amazon 🙂. I just wanted to tell you, there are some great ink artists on UA-cam and some are very pleasant to watch, but this video you shared here was a jackpot for me. So many questions answered that have come up in my head on my quest to learn all things alcohol ink. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with everyone. I certainly appreciate it! Loved this video!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Tracy. I’m glad this answered a lot of your questions and was helpful to you 💕💕💕
Really informative. What a great use for all of those old photos. TY
Thanks Nancy, glad it was helpful 😊
Thank you for sharing this technique! I have been wanting to work with alcohol inks but the cost of yupo paper was holding me back. My daughter had a pack of photo paper she wasn't using, it's perfect!
I’m so glad you found this helpful a d have been able to get hold of some photo paper. Enjoy ❤️
Oh my word! I love the results you're getting! I may have to get some alcohol inks to try this myself.
Thanks Katie, alcohol inks do give amazing results, the colours are incredibly vibrant.
Love it, thanks for sharing your techniques and using a clear easy voice to understand. I have subscribed .
+lorrane Thanks so much for subscribing Lorrane. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I will definitely try this it’s gorgeous
Thank you so much. Happy Creating 💕
Im loving the beautiful results you are getting
+Faye Cook Thanks so much Faye. These experiments have been a lot of fun and I love some of the results I have achieved.
Lovely results, Nina! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Yva, I love all the gorgeous colours!
Thank you so so much for this (running off to raid stash of old photos).
Happy Creating 💕
You get some really beautiful resultts Nina! Such pretty pretty papers!! I love all the bright colours together. It's wonderful that you can share your experiments and great tips with all of us. Tfs Hugs, Ginny :o)
Thanks for your kind comment Ginny. I have thoroughly enjoyed carrying out all these experiments and I have started using some of the gorgeous papers in some projects now too. Tfw, Hugs, Nina xxx
+Nina Ribena
great way to get rid of all those two prints per roll,
wow, when you remember rolls of film , pre digital age.
When it is tacky you can add foil or foil flakes and it’s a cool effect
Very pretty. Thanks for the tips. I found this video helpful.
+Laura Murphy Thanks Laura, I'm so glad this was helpful to you 🙂
Wow.. that's a beautiful and colourful technique! :)
+linda .german I adore colourful! Makes me happy ☺️ xx
:) xoxo
I could watch you all day! But of course I will be trying it out at some point! I love playing with alcohol inks. You've got some very pretty results. Tfs. Hugs, Dee xxx
+BettsyDoodle They're just so mesmerising and colourful! Have fun with yours. Hugs, Nina xxx
Nice to know what to do with those bazillion photos I have a laying around and I even liked that "hot mess" one!
+Renee Cassidy We all have them don't we. My photography skills leave a lot to be desired, so plenty of spares for me, lol!!!
Interesting. Guess it just takes some play time to figure out what works best for your stash. Play time is fun!
I was a bit disappointed when I received a couple of comments saying it didn't work, so just had to figure why and see if there was a way to use them.
Excellent video. Beautiful papers. I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks so much ❤️
Annnnnd.....another brilliant video Nina! :D I haven't gotten around trying any of them again yet but still looking forward to it ;-) Thanks again for sharing all these tips and tricks with us :D Love & Hugsss xxx
Mad scientist strikes again. I've certainly got the hair for it, LOL! Love n Hugzzzz xxx
Thank you so much, Nina, for this video and your detailed instructions! It really helped me a lot, as I was trying it out for the first time…. You are awesome! Love & Kisses! ❤️❤️❤️
+Eleni S. elenisartstuff Thanks so much for you lovely comment Eleni! I'm so glad to hear this was helpful to you! 😊 xx
I use eyeglass cleaner on photo paper. Better than just alcohol sprayed on paper.
That’s interesting g, I will have to give it a try myself 💕
Fantastic! Thank you for this informational video.
I just did my first one,worked great on the photo paper!
That's fantastic Sally. Thanks for letting me know of your success! Nina :) xx
When it is sticky you can use foil and it’s cool effect
Thanks for the wax tip.
Great tips!
Thank you 💕
These look great! tfs, Nina!
Thanks Tori!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.Just a suggestion...your audio needs little volume if you could do something to increase.Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind comment. This is one of my old videos and I have since learned to edit them better 💕
Thank you so much Nina I loved this too.
These experiments were so much fun! :) xx
Great idea to use the back of old photos...got a v big box of those! Di xx
Have fun Di! The results are so pretty :) xx
This is a great way to embellish photos for a gift. I just love the way these inks pool to leave a unique design each time. I am thrilled to have come across your channel. I have been watching some of your videos and I love your way of thoroughly describing the different techniques you share. I am definitely a new subbie. 👍🏼 I am going to actually be uploading my first UA-cam video this week. (Thanks to Crystal @ Art it out here on UA-cam) I started my mixed media journey about 5 years ago and have not had the courage to share.... fingers crossed it all goes well. Now I'm off to watch more of your videos!! TFS..... (((((HUGS)))) - Kimmie 😁💕🌷
Thanks so much for your kind comment Kimmie and for subbing. I will have to check out your channel. Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in this supportive community :)
I have been really apprehensive and a bit chicken about posting videos, (even photos of my art for that matter) but I'm going to bite the bullet and will start posting videos by the end of this month. 👍🏼
Yay! Just go for it :):) xx
Let me know when you're up and running as now I know why I couldn't find you. I will come and give you some support :) xx
That would be awe, thank you!!!❤️
I'd love to learn if anyone had tried dropping alcohol inks over the FRONT of an unwanted photo. I don't remember hearing anything about why the back is preferred. I thought the effects of an extra layer of "texture" might be interesting, like we do with gel prints.
Hi Marilyn. The front of the photo has a coating on it which the Ink ‘sticks’ to therefore the alcohol ink won’t spread. The back of the photo resembles Yupo paper.
Beautiful Nina xx
Thanks Tracey xx
Thanks for more great tips!
I have had so much fun playing around with the inks. The results are all so lovely xx
lovely...That's a really true art...
Thanks 💕
Can you make a card out of one of your beautiful backgrounds?.... would love to see what you come up with for a card!.... Thank you for sharing, I really love the look of this, love the wax idea as well!
+Kat Kathi Thanks for your kind comment Kat. I'll see what I can come up with 😊
Thanky you so much for your tips, Nina :)
You're welcome!
I'm going to try actually using different photo papers themselves and let you know what happens! As a freelancer/artist/photographer I always have different photo papers laying around!
+Stephanie Yvonne That would be really helpful to many of us Stephanie. Look forward to seeing your results. Thank you!
I don't really use youtube to show things, but i have an instagram StephanieYvonnePhotography
is there an email I could send you my results with? You're more than welcome to share with the youtube community!
Try dropping ink on and smushing two pieces together.
Thank you!!! I enjoyed watching this video. This is great tip :)
Thanks so much for your kind comment :)
I've done a few on canvas with gesso already on the canvas.
+Mary Kay Lyons-McDonnell Alcohol inks produce such pretty effects don't they ☺
Awesome. Thank you ✨
Thank you - very helpful and interesting.
Turn the paper over. I had the dollar tree brand and it was slow to move. The reverse side is beautiful.
Thanks Cassandra, £ shop/$ tree was the only one that didn't really work at all as mine did not have the slick surface on the back. But do have a dig around your old photo stash as this is a lot of fun and results are very attractive.
You can wet the paper with with plain alcohol as well Also to get a mottle effect spray on alcohol
Thanks Dana. I tried just adding plain alcohol as a base, and I couldn't get the inks to spread afterwards found I needed the ink on the blending tool too. I'll have to try it again.
Dana House
These are beautiful, so festive. And what a great use for old photos, I usually toss them. In the days when people had prints made, the companies would offer doubles as a sales gimmick. What did you add to the alcohol ink to spread the base color? Blending solution or alcohol? How are you going to use these papers now? Would make good backgrounds for ATCs or postcards. Thanks for the tip about the wax too. TFS Alynda
Yes, they are very pretty. I added alcohol to spread the base colour, but blending solution would probably work too, I don't have any. I haven't thought about how I will use them yet, but they look so lovely just as they are. They would actually make very pretty cards, so I might do that with some and perhaps frame a couple.
It spread because of the blending solution not the ink
Hmmmm. I’m not so sure. The blending solution would have dried before the ink was added. It was just used to help spread the base colour. Ink on top of ink spreads, so I think it would have spread regardless?
I love your work. There is no alcohol in saudi arabia so what can I use for replacement.
I do believe there is something called Green Cross Solution in the UAE which I think is the equivalent to our rubbing alcohol. That should work fine. Your local pharmacy or even larger supermarkets should stock it, but its also worth searching online. I hope that helps.
thank you..... have subscribed this is what i would be doing if i had the neck to do youtube vlogs lol
+madhatters crafts Thank so much for subscribing and taking the time to comment. Don't dismiss the idea. You soon get over your fear and it's a lot of fun!
very helpful. thank you
+Diane Stedman Have fun! ☺
Very pretty, joyful :)
Thank you so much! :) x
Thanks for all the great tips! Hugs xxxx
+Debbie Dunham I love playing with alcohol inks! Hugs xx
Very Nice...Helpful!!!!
+kathleen strode Thanks Kathleen and I'm glad it is helpful to you 🙂
Your inks ARE GEORGOUS!!!!!
+LISA HARMS Thanks so much Lisa 😊
Gorgeous. TFS.
Thank you 💕
Hi nina another great video going to try this.. ~jemmalou~ xxx
You'll have fun with this, the results are very pretty. Let me know how you get on :) xx
Thanks for the great advice. Would love to see you wear some gloves you have pretty hands.
+Jan Weaver Thanks Jan. My hands do get in a bit of a mess don't they! I have got a supply of gloves, but I don't find them easy to wear as I can't feel what I'm doing. I do try to wear them if I am doing something especially messy though.
Kodak premium paper doesnt work. It soaks in straight away. Yes i did use the back.
Some cheaper papers have a paper backing. I’m surprised that Kodak premium does. Thanks for the letting us know.
Kodak premium is a fraction of the price of other brands and isnt their best quality. Its not premium quality at all. Im going to try a brand called Krisp which is fairly cheap but reviews say it is horrible for printing on because the ink takes a long time to dry. Sounds perfect for alcohol ink art!
Alcohol Ink Art: The art of trying to control the uncontrollable.
Some people tout yupo as the go to paper, but I've done some comparing myself, and photo paper works just as well, (although I think it's strange to use the back side, but that's what you do. ) Thx for your video. I'll stick with the better quality photo paper.
Also, did you use the same brand of ink all the time? I find some spread faster than others
Yes, I think photo paper is just as good as Yupo. I used all Ranger inks for these, but you’re right the different brands do react differently. I love the Piñata mixativea and find them much better than the Ranger ones 💕
Oh I love the paper with the alcohol added that you were suggesting not to do. I guess it's all in what each individual likes but I love that look. :) BTW, what paper was the Kirkland Brand?
Thanks Lori. Kirkland is Costco's own brand. (Costco is a bulk buy store in the US and UK)
do you also use the back of Kirkland photo paper?
What will you do with them. How to use them?
They make wonderful cards, or backgrounds for using in journals 💕
I love your backgrounds and will have to try this soon. What is the name of the yellow alcohol ink you used? Also, I wonder if rubbing waxed paper over the background would get rid of the sticky as well. I saw one video where someone rubbed Thermoweb foil over the sticky areas and the foil stuck to it giving it an awesome look also. TYFS 💕
Thank you. The yellow is called sunshine yellow. I use furniture wax to get rid of the stickiness. You can also add gilding flakes to the sticky areas which looks wonderful ❤️
Great way to use up duplicate old photos. Have you tried using on the actual photo side?
+Lise Danis. Thanks Lise, I have, and the results are not as good.
thank you !!
+46660146 You're welcome 🙂
Nice Thank you
Thank you 💕
What a cool ideas !!!! Can you use homemade alcohol ink?
Thanks Lucinda. I don't see any reason why homemade inks wouldn't work. I don't have any, but if you try it, let me know what results you achieve.
Just wondering if you'd tried the new(ish) Jackson's Alcohol inks, Nina? They're only £3.60 for 50 ml, which s a bargain here in the UK compared to the Piñata, for example. I just hope they work as well.... This was a great product test, btw!
I haven’t and didn’t even know they had an alternative, so thank you for that. I’ve seen some cheaper sets on Amazon as well. I might buy a couple and see how they perform. About time I got my alcohol inks out again 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia they launched a while back. Quite a good colour range, and much cheaper than piñata and ranger. Be good to know how they compare. 🤔
Hi Nina. I use this and other techniques described by you quite a lot, especially when making cards. In South Africa we have a problem finding a variety of Ranger alcohol Inks so I mainly use Copic Marker Refill Ink. This ink tends to get a bit "sticky" if you put a lot of layers on top of each other. Is there some kind of "cover" that I can put over it to prevent this stickiness from ruining the cards? I was thinking of a varnish or fixative of some sort. The only things I can find in SA is for charcoal and pencil drawings or oil paintings. Do you know if any of these will work if sprayed over the alcohol ink? I would appreciate any suggestions you may have as I spend a lot of money on these inks and Yupo paper and the cards I make are very popular but I feet restricted by the amount of ink I can use due to this "sticky" problem and I've not been able to come up with a solution. Santa
+Santa Roos Hi Santa. The alcohol inks can have a tendency to be sticky. I have found furniture wax to be successful, the soft kind that comes in a tub for using on top of painted furniture. I applied a thin layer with a cloth and gently buffed. This took the stickiness away and did not effect the colours. You can also use a spray sealer such as Krylon Clear Glaze. Apparently Rustoleum Engine Enamel works too. I hope that helps x
oh this is so pretty. I will have another go:)
They're stunning aren't they, the colours are so vibrant. Let me know how you get on :)
+Nina Ribena I need to get some brighter colours. I bought mine second hand and they are all earth tones. I'll have to put it on my list
Hi Nina, After watching most of your videos related to alcohol inks, I've now made two pictures. One where I attempted to make the layers in different colors and another where I simply dropped several colors on the kodak paper (back). My results were different than yours and some of that may be paper, but my MAIN problem both times is that the ink just pours out. Not once could I drop a small drop on the paper. Any ideas on correcting this? Thank you so much for your outstanding videos and for sharing your skills with us. Jane
+Jane Vincent Sorry its taken me so long to reply Jane. I found that if I swiped a layer of ink mixed with IPA over the paper first, the inks spread better. If they start to spread too much, zap them your heat tool and that will stop the flow. Be careful though as they are highly flammable! I’ll be doing some more experiments in the next day or two as I’ve acquired some more photo paper that I want to to test. I’ll have another try with old photos too as will let you know my findings. Hope that helps in the mean time 😊
Hi Nina, thank you so much for responding. I don't think I was very clear in my description of my question. What I meant was not related to the paper or the ink spreading on the paper. I was referring to the way the ink comes out of my bottles (Tim Holtz alcohol inks). As I'm carefully tipping it over in order to let a drop emerge, I'm getting blobs of ink because it comes out too fast. The ink runs onto the entire tip, on the sides, and then pools around the bottom of the tip. Then when I open the bottle in order to use it, it's a mess. I clean the mess off with a tissue, but then when I begin to tip it over, the ink still pours out too fast and the same mess occurs. What now? (and don't feel bad if it takes a bit of time to respond, I'm not in a hurry) Thank you. Jane
Jane Vincent, I watched a Tim Holts demo where he said the bottle is designed to slowly come up to the tip to fill the hole so thee ink does not dry out while it sit open. So i open them and watch for a couple seconds as the ink rises to the tip, then hey don’t spurt or pour it so fast. You get more control.
Would the transparencies (acetate) work just as well? Thanks!
+Lori McGarrity Yes. Transparencies work great. I have another video where I blow the alcohol ink with a straw on a transparency background. You will need to back the transparency with white paper in order to see the ink though.
Hi i wonder if u can use inks on high resolution paper thankyou
Hi Sue, the important thing is to use paper that has a plastic coating and is therefore non porous. The inks will only spread on this type of background 💕
how do u make your art percent after u are done.
I received some photo papers and have been using the 'right' or glossy side..but you prefer the backsides?
+Ellen Henke Yes, I achieved much better results using the reverse (wrong) side. Try it and let me know how it works for you.
Is it possible to cut that paper with a BigKick die cutting machine? What do I use to seal this? Thank you
+Amanda Bennett I haven't sealed my pages, but you could use a spray fixative such as Krylon or similar. There is no reason why you can't die cut these papers. I have made stacked flowers by cutting irregular circles by hand and they look very pretty 😊
Hi, I have just subscribed and can’t wait to go through your vids. Can I get Yupo paper here in the UK.
Hi Jean, thanks so much for subscribing. I hope you will enjoy some of my other videos ❤️
I tried this and made the biggest mess ever! I am not the best artist alive and this proves it. The "mess" however ended up being rather a big hit with my husband... happy accident! I would however like to achieve your results. What is it that you apply with the ink before starting? Just alcohol and ink? What type of alcohol? Sorry, I live in SA and we don't have all the things available here that you do over there. You do wonderful work... wish I could achieve same results. Will keep trying. Thanks.
+Santa Roos Hi Santa, Thanks for your kind comment. I applied alcohol ink and Isopropyl alcohol 99.9% to my blending tool. You can also use blending solution, or surgical spirits. Have fun and I hope you achieve some great results! 😊
Hi Nina. I did put on a bit of blending solution. Probably not enough. Will keep trying or get the surgical spirits. Thanks for your reply. Big thumbs up to you!
Hi Nina. These are beautiful! Do you still have a Facebook page? The link didn't seem to work for me and I tried searching but didn't find you! I'd like to follow your page if you still have that.
Thanks Rita and glad you've found me now :)
How can you use India ink and alcohol on glass?
I have never tried india ink on glass. I would paint the ink on and splatter with alcohol. You should get some fun results ❤️
Could Masonite with Gesso applied be used?
+Sandra Festerling The surface needs to be non porous for this technique to work, and some non porous services work better than others. Having said that, why don't you try it as it would be interesting to see what results you do get.
Just spray your paper beforehand with some plain alcohol to get the colors moving
+Nick Doe Thanks for the tip 🙂
Pound Shop ! - we have "Dollar Store", made me laugh :)
Dollar Stores make us laugh too :))))) 🤣
