Fill Me a Bag

Alcohol Ink Birds
Alcohol inks are one of my favorite media for little kids. They are so flexible and fun to use. We have used them to decorate Christmas ornaments, coasters for teachers, plates and candle holders and now we used them to make a colorful collage on our window. I got the idea when I picked up…
