If your alcohol markers are going dry or you accidentally left the lid off, don't throw them away they can be reinvigorated!
Just remove the end of the pen to get to the inside and drip triple distilled vodka onto the coloured felt tube. Re seal and leave for a few hours. How much vodka you use will depend on how dry the pen is.
This is a bit messy so if you don't want to get your fingers stained wear some rubber gloves.

Turn your Promarkers into shading pens
Am just watching the UK's dedicated crafting Channel (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about) and specifically the programme about the alcohol pens with the colour blending pens with the name of a lizard (Ch---------n). Having already got a good selection of PROMARKERS I thought I'd see if this worked with them and guess what IT DOES !
Simply turn your coloured promarker upside down with whichever end you are wanting to use and press's the chisel end of your blender pen to the end of your coloured pen and wait for the blending solution to be absorbed into the tip of the coloured marker. Use as demonstrated or if you didn't watch the demo shade from the light area to the dark area with just the one pen. Ta dah!
