Using a spoon or straw, put little puddles of alcohol all over the colored tile. Do not add too much alcohol at once, or the color will all run together and get muddy. Make sure to add just a little bit at a time all over and let the drops/puddles naturally run into each other. (Kids can also use a dropper)

With patience and creativity, you can make beautiful tile art masterpieces in no time.

I had the kids use a dropper while I tried out the straw. The dropper is great for working fine motor skills.

The tile will be mostly covered in alcohol at this point.

Look how pretty they are! Don’t you think they turned out lovely?

Let your tile art dry for a couple of hours. As tiles are drying, you can add a few drops of alcohol in areas that fade out more than others so they will keep the mosaic look.
