Sharpie Tie Dye Napkins Materials:
Set your protective covering on your work surface. I used parchment paper, because I have a ton of it, but scrap cardboard or plastic wrap would work well, too. The color will bleed through the paper towel, so don't skip this step if you care about your table or counter.
All you need to do is use the Sharpies to draw extremely basic fireworks shapes. I'm talking about a dot in the center with a few dots in a circle around the center dot. Or lines radiating from a center point. You don't want anything too complicated, because it'll run together and get muddy. Basic is good.
Once you've drawn a rudimentary firework with the Sharpies, apply the rubbing alcohol to the center of the design. As the rubbing alcohol soaks into the paper, it expands in a wet ring, and bleeds some of the color from the Sharpie lines, creating the cool, tie-dye effect. I used a medicine syringe, because I happened to have one. An eye dropper would also work well. It's nice to use something that gives you a little control, because you want to put the alcohol directly in the center of your firework, and you don't need much. But if you were careful, you could simply pour a few drops directly from the bottle.
Once they're dry, they're ready to use!
