I have let my 6 year old watch your tumbler vids. She will sit and. Watch until I tell her she needs to go play. Your purple glitter tumbler is the thing that got her mesmerized. Think I have a fellow DIY partner in the making. 😃
Aww, that makes me so happy that she is enjoying them too. My 11 year old is usually watching all of my tutorials and helping me with the camera. It's nice to have your kids share similar interests.
Oh my goodness I love glitter swirl, I’m gonna try my first tomorrow, after seeing this the glitter colors may change, I Love those colors! I’m new at all this, love watching your videos, you shoe the paint, and glitter, and explain it all so good! Thank you for taking the time share with us!! LOVE IT!
Am enjoying your video but I found that if you place your bottles of epoxy into a container with hot water and let them sit for about 10 minutes or so... part A is so much easier to work with. Also when I did this... I found that when I combined both parts... there were little to no bubbles.
Beautiful tumbler. Can you tell me what the spray paint is you used first? Is it a matt purple primer or something? I can't read the label in the video. Thanks very much
Will you show how you clean up your cup? Is the inside lip taped? You do go over the edge, as you mention but I have had some big messes on inner lip. Less than a month making cups. Trying to get edges down. Appreciate the help!
The other day I use acc quick dry and my eyes the next day were all swollen and red. I really like it too but I think I'm allergic. Have you had that problem? Now what do I do with the leftover I have grr
Thank you for sharing. Very informative and easy to understand and follow. I am going to go make one right now. I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how to do this so others can learn, as well.
I wish there was a (💓)and not just like ...new sub for sure...you make beautiful art out of awesome glitter... love, glitter and purple!! Saving to my favorites... can't wait to watch more of your videos!! 💜
I usually use the lightest color as the base. So, probably the orange. If you put a green or purple base then it could show through and change the color of your orange glitter.
I did my first glitter tumbler last night. Not sure if it’s the colors I used or if my heat gun was too hot or too close but....my glitter just blended together and the base of cup is raised all around with epoxy. Do you have any suggestions of what I might have done wrong? Your cups are amazing!!
Thank you. It sounds like too much heat. Not necessarily that it was too hot but that maybe you applied the heat for too long or too closely. Apply heat for a bit until it starts moving well and then take the heat off. You definitely don't want the epoxy to look like it's being blown around by the heat gun either. If you have raised epoxy at the bottom chances are your cup is just tilting that way on the spinner. Just prop something sturdy under the base of the spinner to tilt it back the other way and make it even.
How much epoxy did you use? Is your turner level? Too much epoxy will swallow the glitter (unless you are doing a flow, like this great one). If your turner is not level or your tumbler is not situated correctly, your epoxy will gather at the lower end.
I loved this one and just tried it but was scarred to pour too much epoxy that when I sprinkled the.glitter it wasn't as thick as the video. How can I add more glitter??????? T.y
I'm not really sure what you're asking. For this cup you do need more glitter than the average epoxy method. It not only needs to be able to flow, but some will also drip off as you are heating it up.
Hello love these. I would like to make my own for family members. Can u PLEASE tell me Where is the least expensive place to get the cups and glitter and glue and vinyl wholesale? THANK U IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!❤️🦋
Thank you for creating such a beautiful tumbler!!!! I just love it!!!! I am thinking about doing this as a project. I may get it to selling them. Please keep the wonderful colorful videos coming!!!!! Be blessed always dear!!!!
i have to ask, where do you get that tool that spins your cup and do you just leave it continuing to spin for the full curing time. Thankyou for reassuring me about alumilite. I just purchased some and have never heard of this, and I'm nervous to do it because there are so many warnings people make about it possibly not curing, creating bubbles, exc. My name is not blinky btw, its alina
Love this tutorial so much, thank you for doing it! What kind of heat gun are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve tried other things with an embossing gun, but it doesn’t seem to move the epoxy like I need it to.
I agree about the embossing gun. Some people have success with them but I have not. I actually took over my husbands craftsman heat gun. I'm not sure if you have any near you but harbor freight actually carries one that is very reasonably priced and works wonderfully.
Do you have to use a stainless steel cup in order to make these style of cups? (Epoxy, glitter, decals etc) I am wanting to make a water bottle with a sports top like this but those are hard to come by in stainless
Good question. It doesn't have to be stainless. I have used other colors when the stainless is out of stock. I just always make sure to do my base layer of spray paint because you never know how each surface will react.
Wow! I didn’t think I was going to like it and then BOOM all of a sudden everything shifted and it swirled! What an incredible technique! Is it the heat gun that does that? Do you need something like a kitchen torch or will the heat gun I use for embossing work? Thank you so much for sharing!
how do you not end up with a glitter dam? it looks like your using so much but its probably just how blingy the glitter is. i had to strip my cup and start over. your cup is so beautiful.
There isn't as much as it looks like there is, but it is more than I would use on a typical epoxy method cup to make sure that it flows. Sometimes it looks like it's going to clump and I just hit it with a bit more heat and then give it a minute to spin.
Would you mind sending pictures of the rotating thingy for the cups? My wife would like to start do9ng this and I'd like to attempt to build it. Thank you
I sure will. Right now I am swamped getting the last cups in the mail before Christmas as well as several I'm making as gifts but I will try to get this done as soon as possible.
I've tried making this twice. I'm either not putting enough epoxy on at the beginning, or it's my heat gun, which only has 2 settings, low and high. I'll keep practicing!
If you only have low and high definitely use high but move it across the surface a little faster to eliminate any chance of burning. You do need more epoxy than usual to get the flow going too.
Thank you. I get the ozark trail brand from Walmart although around the holiday they are hard to find. I don't always sand in between layers. It depends on the cup. These don't typically need it. It's usually the cups where I use mod podge and pour the glitter on that need sanding. I never dry sand. It's too harsh and dust gets everywhere.
Does anybody else get hypnotized watching those sparkles twirl????✨

What I need in this life is an entire 10 gallon bucket of that purple rain glitter!!!
Yes!!!
And 3m tape lol
This is an amazing video and this purple rain glitter.... WOW
Thank you!
I am new to the tumbler business so thank you for this tutorial for new ideas 👍
That purple rain is AMAZING!!!!
Isn't it? I love that glitter! Bulk glitters.com
@UCxbQPA5dEoVjsqmszkgghug Sorry, it's supposed to be bulkglitters.com
@@MySoulOnFire did you use the ultrafine Purple Rain? I NEEED it in my life!
never mind, I found the answer in your comments below.
Omg that purple rain speaks to my soul! 🥰
That purple rain looks gorgeous! Love this!
Do you recommend staying away from chunky glitters for this technique? I noticed you used fine and extra-fine glitters only.
What a pretty cup! Now I want to make some!
Thank you. You should try it. It's so much fun.

Thank you and good luck! They are so much fun to make.
that looks like so much fun!
It really is! I have a great time doing it.
I did a pink, silver and white glitter one. It basically all blended together? What did I do wrong. Its still pretty but was not what I was going for?
Wow that looks fantastic . U have inspired me to do it. I just saw someone selling mugs
That's awesome! You can do it!
That's gorgeous !

That is beautiful. But im wondering, at what point donyou clean up the inside rim of the cup?
I cleaned the inside about 30 minutes into turning by using a cotton swap and alcohol
Love this tutorial! Can't wait to see more of your awesome work
Thank you! Now that the craziness of the holidays is over I am making some more videos and will have some posted really soon.
I absolutely love this.
Thank you!
I am really thinking about doing this. I am a stay at home pregnant wife and am looking to earn some money doing things that are fun.
@@ashleecox6076You should! It's a great way to earn some extra income but I would talk to your doctor about using the epoxy while pregnant.
Definitely will do that.
Beautiful tumbler. Can you tell me what the spray paint is you used first? Is it a matt purple primer or something? I can't read the label in the video. Thanks very much

I usually use the lightest color as the base. So, probably the orange. If you put a green or purple base then it could show through and change the color of your orange glitter.

Very nice looking....thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you and you're welcome!
First time seeing someone do that method. Did u add epoxy over it at the end. Or that finished product?
And use parchment paper or a vinyl table cloth underneath and the epoxy peels straight off once dry
This is so beautiful
Thank you
Hi, after it drys the next day, do you epoxy again? Thank you
Looks perfect!
Thank you!
Awesome glitter. What's it called, plz. Thx

I just finished tweaking my tumbler and even built another. Everything is perfectly level now and going to try another!😜

I'm not really sure what you're asking. For this cup you do need more glitter than the average epoxy method. It not only needs to be able to flow, but some will also drip off as you are heating it up.
So you do not top it again after it's done? I can see with all the epoxy, it's probably sealed enough, but just asking.
Can you please tell me where buy the purple rain glitter, I cant understand you on the video and I LOVE that glitter! Thanks
Sure, it was from Bulkglitters.com
Big Thank you! Love your channel!!
gorgeous, would love this in blues!!
Thank you! I've done some blues and it is beautiful.
@@MySoulOnFire One of these days I will be working enough to afford to make these myself, the swirl is awesome and my favorite color is blue. :)
@@loiseubank7749 Mine too!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to try this. How do you make sure that the epoxy doesn’t go inside the cup?
Hello love these. I would like to make my own for family members. Can u PLEASE tell me Where is the least expensive place to get the cups and glitter and glue and vinyl wholesale? THANK U IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!❤️🦋
If you apply a thin coat of epoxy will it swirl less? or you must epoxy a thick coat
It won't swirl as well, plus you will possibly end up with not as enough epoxy left on the cup.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful tumbler!!!! I just love it!!!! I am thinking about doing this as a project. I may get it to selling them. Please keep the wonderful colorful videos coming!!!!! Be blessed always dear!!!!
Thanks, I'm working on another as we speak. I wish you lots of luck and hope that you do try it out.

Thank you!
Beautiful. How do you get glitter on the bottom of the cup?
Will this work with the 32 ounce tumbler? I tried and failed so far.
am making my first soon this was a fab video when it dried did you epoxy again?? its lush!!
Thanks, I did. Once it hardened I put my vinyl name on it and gave it another coat of epoxy.
That cup looks really pretty
DO you cover the inside in case any of it goes inside? If it does is it still safe to drink from?
You can but I just clean it up afterward. I have a video on how I did this.
Those glitters look like jewel dust! You should also sell the drips as epoxy stones!
Do you cover it again with another layer of Epoxy???? Great video ... thank You
Thank you! Yes I do. You can add vinyl too and then another layer of epoxy.
Where did you get the purple rain glitter? it's so pretty
Beautiful, did you add another layer of epoxy after this?
Yes, you always want another layer of epoxy after this.
Beautiful job. I love it.
I was wondering where you got purple rain and Evan hawk
Very pretty!!. Is this epoxy food safe? What temperature is it good for?
Love this tutorial so much, thank you for doing it! What kind of heat gun are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve tried other things with an embossing gun, but it doesn’t seem to move the epoxy like I need it to.

What is the thing called that it’s spinning on? Where’d you get in and cost?
My husband made these. I am planning on doing a video showing how soon.
I love it! So pretty!

I use Alumalite resin as well for my cups and casting for turning.Beautiful result.
If not swirling it means i didnt use enough epoxy right
ASMR...
BEAUTIFUL...

I actually like how your machine kind of hums and sings as it turns. I thought you had music on in the background at first!
Do you prep the cup before spray painting them?
Wow Its so cool!! Seeing the colors swirling . Do you put another layer of clear on after 6 six hour ? How about sand it?
I do not sand this first layer, I put a second coat after about 12 hours and then vinyl if I choose. Then I would apply a final coat.
Hi, I like the color from glitter bulk. Can you share the links please.
Would you mind sending pictures of the rotating thingy for the cups? My wife would like to start do9ng this and I'd like to attempt to build it. Thank you
I sure will. Right now I am swamped getting the last cups in the mail before Christmas as well as several I'm making as gifts but I will try to get this done as soon as possible.
Thank you!
I am also interested in knowing more about the machine you use to spin overnight... can you post more info on it please.
Have you managed to make your turner yer? Im in a FB group that a wonderful gentleman demonstrated building and gave us details to diy our own
How long do you let the paint dry?
Is that food-safe resin, or do you not use the cup for drinking from? It's beautiful.
Thank you! It is. That's why I use the brand that I do.
Beautiful cup. Do you put another layer of epoxy over the glitter after this layer has dried?
Thank you. I do. Next I would put any vinyl on the cup and then I would give it another coat of epoxy.
So after the first expect Ang glitter dries u put another costvof expect. Does the glitter smooth itself out. Asking for my wife
Expoxy and coat not coxt
Are you using craft or polyester glitter from bulk glitter.
Always polyester!
Thanks. This is my first time trying this site.
My pleasure!

Could you post which glitters used and names
Is the purple rain ultra fine or just fine? I love it! want to order it!
Fine
Great job! Do you have to use heat gun?
Can you use a blow dryer instead of a heat gun?
I don't think it would get hot enough to make the epoxy flow properly but I have never tried it.
Where do you buy your expoxy from and how did you make your rotator? Did you makenit or buy it ?
Have you done any cups where you add stickers do names ect ?
Alumilite. You can get small bottles at craft stores or buy bigger ones from their website
I have kind of a goofy question. how did you get the paper seal off the bottle of glitter?
New to the cup world, love this! Where do you buy cups from? I'm having a hard time finding them.... do you wet sand your epoxy between coats?
Thank you. I get the ozark trail brand from Walmart although around the holiday they are hard to find. I don't always sand in between layers. It depends on the cup. These don't typically need it.
