I agree I don't know why people have music. Even radio stations use music in background when they are interviewing someone and usually the music is louder than them talking. Just too much going on for me.
That was so intense! I love it! I may try this as my very first tumbler! It’s beautiful and abstract! I love a good ooops that turns into an achievement!
You were the first to post a video on this technique, so in my opinion, you nailed it! Love this! Will definitely be doing some, and giving you all the credit!! Beautiful!!
I just found your channel thanks to your glitter flow tutorial and scrolling through your vids, I see we have a love of marching band in common! My kiddo is a sophomore in high school, plays mellophone.
I love the design! I'm looking for design ideas that uses glitters since I recently bought this cup turner from HomeProShop on Amazon and it comes with glitter powder.
What an awesome tutorial! I love how this one turned out. Let me ask you, if I do one coat like you did and I want more of the "flow" look can i just add another thick coat of epoxy on top of it and do it again? Of course after the 1st layer is completely dry. Thank you.
wow I'm gonna try this with Brite Tone which is from Crystalac. It's an epoxy free alternative. It looks so cool! Thanks for sharing. I was looking for some new techniques.
This was beautiful I may try this. I'm a newbie and love doing this. I have a question though what brand epoxy do you use, and is your area well ventilated? I've heard you either should wear a masks or well ventilated so I am on my balcony but it's spring now and wasps are out I don't know what else to do. Any information on safe products would help.
What do you use to paint your cup 1st? Or do you start with a colored cup? I've seen some that sand their cups. Too many variations to choose. Great idea. Love the finished product.
I love these tumbers. I want to get started but so worried about the epoxy. How do I get started? I have a cricut maker to make decals. How cups have you runied before you made one great. I love these as gifts. Please any advice.... Thank you Aaron these are amazing!!!!
Hey Aaron! There is definitely a learning curve to doing them, but they are so much fun to do. All I can say is take that first step, make a few mistakes, and learn. Trust me, my strip bucket has held quite a few.
The tumblers can be stripped and redone. We've all messed a few (or more) up, but they can be stripped. Look on RU-vid for how others have started. You need epoxy resin that is FDA compliant (ProMarine is my favorite, or Alumulite, as well as 1 or 2 others), lots of glitter, your cricut for decals, a turner (it's quite cheap to make, $30 for the grill rotisserie turner at Lowe's, and someone to make a simple holder; many RU-vid videos for that as well), cups (I get mine from Walmart), and after a while you may want some alcohol inks, india inks, mica powders (eyeshadow works also, just make sure its is ground down to a fine powder), etc for other effects on the tumblers. Its definitely worth it. Good luck!
love your tutorial, I am a newbie and want to try this can you please tell me where do you or how do you make your spinner that the tumbler twirls on . and where can i get a heat gun? never heard of them before lol thanks
The heat gun is an old one from when I did a lot of rubber stamping, but Hobby Lobby carries embossing heat guns, and you can use a coupon for it. I will do another quick video on how we put together the turner. It is really pretty basic. My 15 year old son built it for me with scrap 2x4 we had at home.
JANA MAYS thanks for your quick reply... when will you be able to make the video for the tumbler Turner? I am so excited I found your videos... very informative.
JANA MAYS oh that would be so wonderful thanks cuz I want to make one today and then I will show you lol I am so excited to make some for a family reunion here coming up within the next few weeks. And also how long does it stay on the tumbler ?
I absolutely love the design the epoxy gives off, but using that much epoxy make me nervous especially when some falls off. I may try it once to see if I like it. 😉
My glitter comes from a lot of different places. In this tutorial, I think the bling is from Michaels, the black is from Bulk Glitters, and I am not sure on the others.
