I love my distress ink. I probably love my distress ink more than all my other inks. I always keep it close by and use it on almost every project. Distress ink is so unbelievably versatile. Between the distress ink pads and the reinkers I probably don’t need half of the other products that I have around my craft room. A long time ago I set out to make custom blending tools for each of my distress inks. I ended up with a nice little custom block that holds it’s own ink blending pad. You may remember my distress ink storage ideas<\/a> post, this is just an add on to that about how to make distress ink blending tools.

Homemade Distress Ink Blending Tools<\/h2>\n

The tools is basically a small block of wood that I attached a piece of foam and some velcro to. I used the actual blending pads that were made for distress inks. This made it much easier for me to keep all of my distress inks organized. I hated having to change the blending pads all the time, I would constantly lose them or forget the color that was on them. I believe the total that I spend to make the tools (not including the blending pads) was around $6. <\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

I also did a video explaining the block in a video that you will find below. The end of the video where I show my distress ink drawer gets a little shaky, sorry for that! I’m not used to holding the camera. I usually have it mounted on a tripod so I don’t have to worry about it. Of course, if you have any questions at all about the blending tools or any products I used please don’t hesitate to ask me.
