If you're a teacher, a mom with crafty kids, or an avid colorer yourself then you may have several markers that you have thrown away due to drying up. If you haven't discarded of them yet- hang on to them! I'm going to show you how you can make your own vibrant watercolor ink from those worn out markers.
SUPPLIES:
  • Waterbased markers (Crayola, kids markers, highlighters) NOT Sharpies
  • Water- distilled is best if you plan to store it for long periods of time
  • Pliers
  • Scissors / Xacto Knife
  • Several plastic cups (one for each color)
  • Storage containers with lids (one for each color)

DIY Bottlecap Watercolor/Gouache Travel Palette

6/14/2017

I found a Loew-Cornell Watercolor Palette at Walmart to put my new Turner Colour Works Professional Artists' High Pigment Concentrated Watercolor Paint Set I found at a flea market (for $5) but I didn't have enough trays. I hot glued some bottle caps to the mixing tray area for extra storage. This also worked well for my gouache that I put into a IRIS Photo and Craft Case, 4" x 6", Clear container that works perfect as a travel paint palette!

I also made laminated swatch charts custom fitted for my palette that I stick with double-sided tape in case I need the mixing space.
