DIY: Glittering a tumbler - Ombre 

Thank you Geri!!

Thanks!

savanah0728 Thanks!

Joann Wehrenerg I just posted a video about how I do sand to prep now. I like using Epoxy.

It depends. You want it smooth prior to decal. Sometimes it takes one coat and sometimes 2. I usually do only 1 after decal unless there’s an issue and o need another. 😊

IamDeirdre Epoxy cannot be mixed with water. You can use silicone brush with Epoxy and then just pop the epoxy off after it hardens.

jamie Riddle Check the details above for the video. I provided links to all my supplies to help ya! 👍🏻 Good luck!

I use hard coat. Finish doesn’t matter since you’re covering it.

Not a whole lot...I generally used either Dishwasher safe or Hard coat mod podge. The biggest thing is letting it dry fully. You'll cover it with epoxy, so the type of mod podge isn't too important.

Not on my ombre's, no

I do not have any videos on dinosaurs. You could just pick a dark color and put a vinyl dino on it. www.etsy.com/market/dinosaur_svg

Thanks! Made it. It's a pvc pipe with a pool noodle on it. Foam footballs work great too!

Karla Ruiz I have a Facebook page. Feel free to PM me with any questions through there. facebook.com/MinderellaCreations

I haven't so I can't answer that. I use either mod podge or epoxy as my adhesive. Some use spray loctite, but I haven't tried that either.

I have a supplies video where I have links to all the supplies I use.

Minderella Creations thank you!!! I think I've watched like 10 of your tutorials so far ;)

Jackie Copenhaver It’s easier to cover the lighter with the darker and blend so I usually do the darker last. Lighter first.

Light on top dark on bottom?

Jackie Copenhaver That’s just preference on where you want the color. Doesn’t matter.

I’m doing silver on top and magenta on the bottom. Do I still start my second layer of glitter with my magenta that’s on the bottom or start with my silver?

Jackie Copenhaver I’d do Magenta last

M. gaona If you want it sealed with the smooth finish, then yes.

A.C Lucero I use all different sizes. It’s glitter. Lol. I don’t think you can get away from it being messy with glitter.

Adela Gutierrez Yes, you can do that. You’ll want to remove the vinyl immediately after you finish mod podge so it’s still wet.

Would you remove the vinyl after the 2 coats of mod podge and glitter or the first coat?

Caric74 Probably try with both ways. If it gets too hard it’ll pull up the glitter.

April Brown I have not seen glitter that does that, however I have seen thermal dust and pigments that you can use for this. solarcolordust.com

Any hobby store. I use the 1 inch flat paint brush to apply mod podge now, or use epoxy (finger) or use finger method for mod podge and brush smooth. The one I use to brush excess off is a stencil brush...stiff bristles.

Carol Totty I use FX right now. My supplies tutorial has links. St

Thank you!

cobabybear21 I haven’t used that yet. I would read the instructions to see for sure. I’d probably wait an hour or two at least.

Thank you! I waited an hour and that seemed to work well. It's the first time I've had to do a second coat at all...I think because it's a black cup.

cobabybear21 I always do two coats of glitter unless it’s a white cup. I spray paint white first and usually one coat of glitter is enough.

Teri Eymann I pull tape after glitter is done. Then I Retape outside the glitter line before Epoxy.

Minderella1225 thank you so much. One more question. How long do you wait to pull the tape off after epoxy? Do you leave it on until last coat? Or take it off after first coat and reapply for second coat?

Teri Eymann I pull the tape after about an hour after coating the cup. I tape and remove for each Epoxy layer.

Minderella1225 oh wow, thank you so much. This is one question I have has that I was unable to find the answer to in all the videos I have watched. Thanks again.

I usually tape off the top and bottom of my cups. On the ones that I do full coverage, I bring the epoxy just up to the rim, but not over it. I take a little epoxy on my gloved finger and run it on the top of the glitter and press down so it just seals it in.

Here's the video where I show how I do it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MElvr9sqc-E.htmlm33s

So in this project you taped it again after glitter set?

On another video it is stated that once the epoxy cures it is safe & does not effect the cover's adhesion.

Carol Ebenal electrical tape yes 👍🏻 Pull when wet at a sharp angle away from glitter and almost bend tape so it cuts it.

Thank you! I pulled after everything was dry. On to try again :)

If it's completely dry it tends to get brittle. But if you pull immediately after the second coat is applied, it's still seems pliable enough and if you pull down at a sharp angle it almost "cuts" it...so it keeps your sharp edge. :) If you use the epoxy method, you would pull tape immediately after applying as well...epoxy gives you more work time since it doesn't cure as fast as the mod podge dries.

Stephanie Moore Thanks! I made it. 😊

Kristin Williams check out my supplies tutorial. 👍🏻

cobabybear21 linked in video description

Margaret Lopez Yep!

Jennifer Moya That will absolutely affect your epoxy. Cold causes it to cure slower as well as ripple. Your work area needs to be no less than 75. We keep our house about 75/76. The warmer it is the quicker it will cure. But you don’t want it curing too quick or it’ll be brittle.

I might have to move my station to the garage for the epoxy stages then because it definitely rippled my very first "practice" cup last night and yes it took foreeeeevveeer to cure lol should I sand first and then apply the second coat or might the second coat cure evenly without sanding if moved to a warmer environment?

If it's rippled a TON, I would probably go ahead and sand a little bit, as long as it's thick enough you won't hit the glitter. Then, wipe it down with 100% acetone gently, but thoroughly enough to get any specs and oil off and then apply another layer of epoxy. :)

thanks so much for the help. i'll let you know how it comes out after I move it. =)

Good luck!

It's really preference on what you want to use. Everyone finds the way that works best for them.

Minderella1225 Thanks for the response! I'm planning on making my first soon, and am trying to research, then will try to find what works best. I really enjoyed your video!

I mentioned it in the video description. :) It is stretchy! It's electrical tape. Thanks for watching!

Brenda Whitehead Check our my supplies Tutorial. Details have glitter suppliers linked. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WksL6r6O098.html

Thank you!!

Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I do 2-3 layers. Epoxy is linked in my supplies tutorial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WksL6r6O098.html

Tiffany phone she does one coat of epoxy let’s it dry, sands it then applies decal and adds another coat of epoxy

Heather Witt Stay tuned as I will be doing a glittered wine glass soon. 👍🏻

In between coats of mod podge/glitter I wait about an hour. Epoxy I wait 12 hours to sand and add decal and then apply the next coat of epoxy either then or the next day.

Just epoxy

Thank your for answered!

Adri Silva Dollar Tree

Rebecca Minger Yes, the holo Vinyl was used for the name. Epoxy over the glitter and then decal and then seal with Epoxy.

I made it out of a dollar tree foam football with a hole through it and a 1/2 in pvc pipe.

Mari Johnson I made it. Pvc pipe with a dollar tree football.

I created the decal for the cup in an opal vinyl.

Aimee Davis yes, I give it a final coat to seal in decals (except on wine glasses)

Minderella Creations awesome thank you. I’m attempting my first cup this week.

Aimee Davis good luck!

Korey Smith As long as it’s not mixed, yes. If any of it mixes, I save it for a rainy day.

Michelle Hernandez I use Alumilite

Okay . Thank you so much

I saw you used 15cc of 2 different epoxy and slowly mixed til clear, but I miss what the 2 different types where.

Martha Gomez I didn’t use any Epoxy in this video. When I clear coat I use a two part Epoxy. There are many brands to choose from.

Minderella1225 what is a two part epoxy?

Oneida Badillo I’m not sure I understand your question?

Sorry how long does one container of glitter last you and do you save the extra glitter that falls

Ahhh, yes, in a lot of my videos you will see I use wax paper under it to catch the overpour and I put it back into the jar. If it mixes, I just save it and use it as a mix for something. The size of your container determines how many cups you cant do. You can do several cups with only one ounce of glitter. Like 2-4 depending upon coats.

If you check out my Supplies video I have all of my supplies that I use linked in the description. :)

Watch my Epoxy tutorial as I share those details and more there. :)

Awesome...thanks so much. Your tumbler is just beautiful.

Mrs. J when applying glitter I have it on a foam football on pvc pipe. I move that to my turner when I apply epoxy.

Minderella1225 What does your Turner look like & where would we find one?

Hi! I have several videos posted to my channel of the turners that I use. I have exclusively hand turned my cups and I also have a video on here on that process. :) We built ours.

Jazz Renee I have links on my supplies video 👍🏻

Minderella Creations awesome thanks

Minderella1225 thank you

Jae Marie I have a Facebook page. facebook.com/MinderellaCreations

Or at the end you use epoxy? Do u have a video showing how you did that?

Guadalupe Mullikin I used two coats of mod podge and glitter, Epoxy, decal, Epoxy. I have several tutorials on how to apply epoxy.

Holly Johanknecht I use electrical tape. You can get it on Amazon or Walmart or anywhere really.

Minderella1225 thank you!
