Hey! try these containers! I've seen a lot of artists on instagram using them when they make their own alcohol ink. Are you using the alcohol ink with resin?

I use empty prescription bottles.
Glass spice jars would work great. Dollar Tree sells them.
Glass containers.
Little glass jars would work great. Take a walk thru the Dollar Tree and look for small glass jars with lids. Something like jelly jars, salt & pepper shakers, or even baby food jars.
Make sure the lids fit tight enough to not allow leaking, and securely, even when the bottles are tipped over.
You can find glass jars and containers at the dollar store and thrift stores. These would be perfect for your inks.
old baby food jars?
Glass spice jars would be ideal, I bet friends and family could provide you with some if you asked around
Amazon.com sells little glass bottles and they are cheap (we got 25 for under $10).
