What you will need

Welcome to the "Give It a New Life" video lesson!

You will need:

  • Sakura Micron PN or 01* 
  • Sakura White Gelly Roll 10
  • Graphite pencil and tortillon
  • White charcoal pencil and tortillon
  • 3.5" Zentangle official white square tile* 
  • 3.5" Zentangle official black square tile
  • Optional: watercolor or watercolor ink*


  • I will demonstrate using a Zentangle official tiles in the video, however, you can use any two tiles in different colors as long as they are in the same shape and size.
  • You can use pre-tinted tile that you already have in stock (give it a new life), tint a new tile for this project, or use a plain tile in any color.
  • I used Ecoline liquid water color (#311, #318, #337 and 507) in the video. You can use any mediums / colors as long as you can tangle over once it’s dry.
  • I decided to use Micron PN for the video lesson because I had some deep colors in my background. Please feel free to use any pens that help you to accomplish your desired look. You can even go bolder like Micron 05 for drawing tangle outlines initially and add details with a finer pen.
