    It is high dollar. I have about 2500-3000 invested, but it's a side hobby! My co-worker's (not a close friend) 16 year old daughter wanted to get in on it, but they freaked out at the cost. She asked couldn't they just come use my stuff (free of course). Nope...

    I'd say bare minimum is $350 to start. Most places will sell 1-2 items at low price, but what kills the price is the shipping. So it's cheaper to buy more with free shipping.

      By the way, your channel has been the best and has had the most helpful videos by far! Ive been wanting to start making tumblers for a while but the thought of getting started felt too overwhelming. After watching your videos I've been building a shopping list and your amazon list is so helpful! Turns out I already had the same cup turner in my cart that you reccomend too so that helped a lot! When there's too many choices i have a really hard time making a descision and usually give up, but now I'm giving it all a go! ☺ Thank you, Alison!

      You will usually need way less when you use polyester glitter to get the coverage your looking for as opposed to buying the cheaper glitters. A good way to cheat a little is to base paint your cup the same/closest color to your glitter or use cheat glitters but overall a higher quality poly glitter is best in the long run.

      well, you'd have to decide on how much you are selling your tumblers for and then calculate how many you'd have to sell to break even or start turning a profit :)

    I made a fresh gmail account to sign up for the checklist download and immediately flagged the download link as suspicious. Maybe a fluke, but why not just link the list versus artificially bloating a mailing list with nevergonnabeused accounts like I did. Find a better guide, this seems money grabby more than helpful.
