I recently taught you how to make glitter tumblers from start to finish. jennifermaker.... Now it’s time to learn how to do some fun things with the glitter!
The good thing is that the ombre glitter effect really a lot easier than you might think to get a nice, smooth transition between your colors.
To show you how to do the ombre glitter effect, I’m going to show you two different ways you can do it. One way may work better than the other for you, depending on your experience and manual dexterity.
And in addition to a two-tone ombre effect, you can use this same technique with multiple colors, like a rainbow effect - I’ll show you how to do that, too!
The only special things you need for this, besides all of the other things you need for glitter tumblers, are some extra mixing cups and sheets of paper.
HOW TO CREATE OMBRE GLITTER TUMBLERS
I create my blended ombre glitter tumbler in two different ways - pick the way that works best for you.
Both methods begin by positioning your tumbler on your hand so it is parallel to your surface with a clean sheet of paper underneath. Now sprinkle glitter all along the bottom edge, all the way around the tumbler, about 1 inch wide.
METHOD 1 (THE TILT METHOD)
Now, to do the first ombre glitter method, tilt your tumbler at a 45-degree angle with the bottom of the tumbler tipped up, just as I’m doing here.
Sprinkle the same color of glitter in the same spot you already glittered. You’ll notice that the angle of the tumbler allows the glitter to run down the sides. Do this all around the tumbler until you have your glitter gradually tapering off as it gets to the middle of the tumbler.
Reposition your tumbler so it is parallel to your surface and shake off any excess glitter. Put the glitter on the paper into a cup and save It for later.
Get your second color of glitter and create another 1"-thick ring of glitter along the top edge of your tumbler.
Tilt your tumbler so it as a 45-degree angle, this time with the bottom of the tumbler tipped down.
Sprinkle your glitter in the same spot you already glittered. This time the glitter will run down the tumbler toward your first color. Do this all around your tumbler until your glitter is tapering down to about halfway. The middle section of your tumbler should have only a little glitter on it, but be mostly bare.
Reposition your tumbler so it is parallel to your surface and shake off the excess glitter. Put the glitter into the same cup you put your first color of glitter into and mix them well.
With your tumbler at parallel to your surface, pour the cup of mixed glitter around the middle of your tumbler, filling in all bare spots. By doing this, we can create a nearly perfect blend between the two colors of glitter on our tumbler.
METHOD 2 (THE TAP METHOD)
I think the biggest tip I can give you about making ombre glitter tumblers is not to be afraid to use your fingers! Feel free to sprinkle a little extra glitter wherever you need it, or even use your fingers to blend better. And if you don’t like your ombre effect on your first try, spray it with adhesive again and sprinkle and blend again. The second layer of glitter can make a big difference, especially in more complex effects.

Please always remember, safety first! If you would like tips on epoxy tumbler safety, watch my epoxy safety video at th-cam.com/video/QTAEFJfl1v4/w-d-xo.html and make sure you use your epoxy in a well-ventilated area, wear a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridges, nitrile gloves, and a PVC apron, and keep your work area clean. I understand this video doesn’t go into enough depth about safety, but my later videos do and I now have a dedicated video just on epoxy safety!
GREAT INFORMATION.
I know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Jabari Terrence i use FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Brycen Victor definitely, I've been using Flixzone for years myself =)
@Brycen Victor Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!
I absolutely love all your videos! You are by far the best at step by step explanations.
Thanks so much, Kelly! 😊
Please please please do a tutorial about the stencil and getting the glue within the lines. You're wonderful. Thank you!
Yes, please! More how-to’s for the tumblers with stencils.

Your step by step is so wonderful! Please show us your tricks for the stencil! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
This is just amazing. I hit the jackpot when I found your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
And I hit the jackpot to have someone as nice as you following me! Thank you! 😀
Would love to see how you did the black and purple tumbler. Love them all. You are amazing! Thank you!!
Love your videos!! Please do one for the glitter tumblers with the cutout like the one you showed here. I would really like to learn how to do those!!!

I love the waterslide one sunflowers are my favorite

Thank you that is going to help a lot!! I do the cups and struggle with the ombre even though I do nails that way and it's much easier, the glitter is so much different than the control of nail polish 😀

Glad you like them! 😍
Just discovered your tutorials, they are informative, concise, and professional. I subscribed and look forward to watching more and checking out your blog. I have a tip on the glitter, instead of using your fingers you could use baby spoons or the little ice cream sample spoons. Thank you for teaching and sharing your talents!
Your video was awesome! Very easy to follow, i LOVED it! Thank You!

I've made a couple of tumblers the first one was a blue and pink baby shark for my granddaughter... and the second one I made per request of a co-worker and it was white. oh my.. I even painted it but It still took sooo much glitter... I've been mod podging but I'm going to try this Loctite and I'm going to make a rainbow cup for my niece for her birthday!!!
Glitter tumblers are SO fun to make, they are almost addictive! lol
I would love to make these. Next year's crafting goal!
It's always good to have a goal! Even in crafting! 😍

Are you talking about the epoxy, Maria? You can visit the manufacturer's website to find detailed data. I also have information about epoxy safety here: 😉

@@JenniferMaker i did watch the video and it was great. I've never used the epoxy before and I'm just a little nervous.
Can't wait to try this!
Have fun! 🥰
Thanks for another great tutorial!
Beautiful work and thank you for the tips
You are so welcome, Dominique! Thank you for watching! 😍
I love the narrow neck bottle! How did you do THAT one? I love the stencils too! Please do a vid on the narrow neck one!!!!
I would highly suggest priming your cups with white spray paint for the glitter color to pop more.
You are amazing!!!

Everything I used is in the materials list. jennifermaker.com/ombre-glitter-tumbler-tutorial-rainbows/
Beautiful! I want to learn how to make these too.
YAY! Enjoy! They are a lot of fun to make! :)
I would love to see how you get the adhesive only inside the area where you removed the stencil
I can show you! I will make a video. :)
Jennifer Maker hi, did you make that video?
Thank you so much, love your tutorials!
Glad you like them! 😍
I am going to try this tomorrow!! I am So excited!! Thank you so much Jenniffer!!’ You are such an amazing teacher!!! You inspire me with your beautiful creations!!! Quick question: in the previous video you showed the green one with thick glitter and you said to sand it after putting the 1st layer of epoxy. What # of sand paper do you recommend? Also, do you sand the ones with fine glitter?
I use wet/dry sandpaper, 220 grit, Constanza! And, yes, sand the ones with fine glitter, also! 😉🥰
@@JenniferMaker thank you so much!!! You are amazing!!!
This was very interesting. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mona! 😍
Awesome cant wait till I can do this
Super! 😍
@@JenniferMaker hi I'm trying to do like a shadow name. What free font can I use?
Yes plz show the stencil one from start to finish 😀
Hi Jennifer
After watching your glitter tumblers video i've been wanting to make some for myself. I've been reading about the harmful effects of epoxy and put off making these tumblers because of it.
I recently found a new line of products by Crystalac that claim to be environmentally friendly and non toxic but work the same way as traditional epoxy resin.
I'm hoping that since I get a majority of my craft ideas from you that you can make a video about these products? There is a facebook group called " Epoxy Free Tumbling and Crafting" which is where I found out about this product and it has a lot of great information.
Thank you!
Love your videos. Is there a video of how to add a personal picture to a tumbler.
Would like to see the stencil. I think most of it is assumed, would love to make sure. Thanks!
Thanks!
Me too!
I would love the stencil tutorial as well!
I would love if you did a fabric tumbler
good idea...from Thailand.
Love these
Thank you! This is one of my favorite projects!
