Getting Started with Blow Art
To begin your blow art adventure, you'll need a few essential supplies:
Alcohol Markers: You are going to want markers that are nice and bold in color. The lighter markers will not put down as much ink on the paper.
Rubbing Alcohol and a dropper: You will want to use plain old rubbing alcohol from the drug store or big box stores for this. But you do want the ones that's 97% or higher to make it work really well. I prefer the strongest one I can get!
Yupo Paper & Cardstock or blank cards: The Yupo Paper will serve as your canvas for the blow art masterpieces. It will not work on regular or glossy cardstocks. I scarified a sheet of both glossy cardstock and regular cardstock to the crafty gods already trying to see if it worked. So, to save you the time, frustration and money I already tried it.
A straw or a special blow art tool: This is what you'll use to direct your breath and create stunning patterns on the paper.
