Create vivid, transparent color effects for resin art, tumblers, mixed-media projects and more with alcohol inks from Counter Culture DIY. Explore individual colors, coordinated two- and three-packs, and value-focused mystery bundles for experimenting with blooms, wisps, marbling and layered color.
Choose a bundle when you want a ready-made palette, or shop individual shades to refill favorites and build your own color combination. Because results can change with the surface, resin formula and technique, begin with a small amount and test your colors before starting the full project.

Using alcohol inks with resin
Alcohol inks can create fluid, translucent effects, but every combination behaves a little differently. Make a small test piece first, use color gradually and let applied ink dry completely before adding another coating or resin layer.
Complete your project with an epoxy resin for art and coatings, prepare and seal project elements with Quick Coat resin sealer and craft adhesive, or compare other options in our epoxy colorant collection.
Alcohol ink questions
What projects can I make with alcohol inks?
Alcohol inks are commonly used for compatible resin art, tumblers, coasters, mixed-media pieces and other projects where flowing, transparent color is desired. Always check the product and surface instructions before beginning.
How much alcohol ink should I use?
Start with a small amount and build the effect gradually. The right amount depends on the project size, surface, resin formula and desired color intensity.
Should I make a test sample first?
Yes. A test sample helps you evaluate color, movement, transparency and compatibility before committing to the finished piece.
