This video goes over the entire process I use for creating a glittered tumbler. This tumbler was made for a customer per their request and specifications, including the saying that was on it.

Please note: Since this video was done almost 2 years ago, I have changed my process to improve the quality of my cups. I now prep my cups prior to starting and also usually use a base coat and apply my glitter with epoxy as the adhesive.

Here is a video on cup prep and pulling tape:

I show the following steps in this order:
1. Two layers of mod podge/glitter
I wait about an hour between coats.
2. Mixing epoxy (I use 15ml per part, per cup)
3. Apply epoxy
4. Use embossing Gun to pop bubbles
I wait about 12 hours between the first coat of epoxy before I decal and apply the final coat of epoxy.

What supplies do I use? I will list them below. I am not affiliated with any of these companies, but they are what I use and recommend.

  • Such an awesome video and a true testament to the time and patience it takes to be a tumbler creator, this is not a craft for anyone in a hurry, hours of dedication, stress, and work go I to these. Thank you for taking the time to show everyone the ropes!

    Just came across your video. My daughter just bought one of these from a local craft show and I told her it was over priced but after seeing you do this I know now have labor intensive it is and I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into better . Thanks for the great video and your testimony for Christ. I’ll see you in Glory!

  • @jackiea7225
    Finally a youtuber that puts worship music on 😃☺️😎🤗 love it! You are one talented lady!
  • I subscribed mainly because of the music... I am so glad to hear someone who has praise music ... Love It!!!! You never know how many lives you can touch because a message is in the music.... God Bless
  • @jesssssdlp12___
    Love that you were straight forward and detailed about everything! I was a little scared because some other videos I’ve watched had so many steps in between but yours was a lot more easier to understand. Thank you for the video!!😊
  • I love how clear and articulate your speaking voice is as well as how you explained the steps simply instead of over complicating things. I also like how well the video flowed. You sped it up perfectly while still allowing us to understand exactly how you completed each step. I would like to see what the wet sanding looks like, know the grade of sandpaper to use and how long you sand between epoxy layers. That would be super helpful.
  • This was so cool to watch. I always wondered how these were made. And wow. So much time and patience goes into this. Very cool though. Thank you for the video!!
  • @ASouthern419
