Do you have a lot of pens that are dried out, won't write but still have a ton of ink left in them? In this video, I'm going to show you how you can save that ink and make your own jar of dark inky goodness that can be used for painting, drawing, writing, and spraying for all your artistic needs.

-Ink pens- any color, any size, any kind EXCEPT pigment gel pens (the ones you use on dark paper)
-Isopropyl alcohol- any percentage
-Pliers
-Scissors
-Disposable plastic cup- do not use paper!
-Storage container with lid- I recommend something glass, like a mason jar, but you can use whatever you have. Ink will stain the container and it will not be suitable for reuse for any other mediums.
-Gloves if you don't want inky fingers
Your work surface (and possibly clothes) WILL GET INKY. If you're not working on glass, be sure your area is well protected from any possibly flying stray ink barrels.
