Post #13: Sharpie Coasters



The Sharpie Coasters were a very cheap DIY project to do. The supplies, consisted of things just laying around the house.
Supplies:
  • Two plain bathroom tiles
  • Rubbing Alcohol
  • Sharpies (any color)
  • Something to drop the alcohol with i.e a straw
Step 1: Lay out something to prevent possible messes. We used a trash bag that was cut in half.
Step 2: Draw a design on the first tile.
Step 3: Drip dots of rubbing alcohol on the tile, and wait for it to expand. Unfortunately for us, the rubbing alcohol did not expand properly so we tried rubbing it in. That also did not work, resulting in the sharpie design coming off.
Step 4: We tried again on a new tile, redoing step 2.
Step 5: Drip dots of rubbing alcohol on the title. This time the first two dots removed the marker from the tile on its own. We added a few more to see if the rubbing alcohol would do it again.
Step 6: We wanted to see if coloring with another marker would make it look different. It did!!
This pin turned out to be more of an experiment than a tester. The results were not what we were expecting, resulting in the sharpie coasters moving to the Bad List.
